WhatYouGotforSure?
BySis.RickiFuller
Upon declaring your belief that Jesus Christ is The Son of GOD, you were being baptized in His Name. And, Holy Spirit infused Himself inside you as promised by Jesus and shown in Acts 2:38. A question arises as to whether you, and all of us, really believe that GOD is inside us. If we believe that Truth, then it is reasonable for us to accept that because of our obedient baptism into Christ, we are victorious spiritual and physical beings! For sure, such a thought is immense and almost unimaginable.

Many times, we seem to forget that our hearts are, in fact, filled with the Holy Spirit Who Is with us every second – every millisecond – of our lives. Not only is Holy Spirit inside us, Ephesians 1:3 states that GOD made sure “before the foundation of the world” that we are sealed (authenticated, placed in Christ beyond doubt, secured from the evil one, hidden in Christ by the Holy Spirit)! Based on this sealing, we are subject to all GOD’s promises, and His will for our lives. In other words, as we praise and thank GOD through the victory of Jesus Christ, we are always protected because Holy Spirit assures such.
Also, because of Christ and HolySpirit, we are free (not subject to bondage or enslavement to any person, place or thing) (II Corinthians 3:18)! Now, you and I know that we allow ourselves to be tied-up, hindered, constrained etcetera by things that occur in relationships with our families, friends, enemies, co-workers. We tend to allow events in the world to frighten us to the point of forgetting who we really are. Lord, please, help us remember who You determine for us to be – who we are and what You have formed us to be. And, please continue to show all of what You have given, and are giving us. Thank You, Lord!
Okay, so that’s all good to see in the Scriptures that our Abba Father has given us the HolySpirit (our constant companion), Victory (in all life’s issues), Protection (sealed us from all evil), Freedom (to praise Him and to follow Christ’s examples of Love and Obedience), and even Faith (which assists us in being victorious per I John 5:4). However, living in this fast-paced world wherein our personal identities are codified/digitized according to manmade algorithms, it seems we are not protected, victorious, or free. It seems so because earthly leaders pretty much have the power to direct our movements based on the wealth of information they garner and use. Hence, the question, “What You Got for Sure?”
You, and us all, have the choice to believe GOD and His Word. In choosing to believe the GOD’s Word is our guide, we exercise our minds to hold onto Christ regardless of what the world looks like or does. You, and all of us, must determinedly follow Ephesians 6:10-18!
For sure, you got Christ’s power! Live it! Do it!
