Second, anyone can reveal the world’s lifestyles, but the kingdom of God’s lifestyle is different. Therefore, a willingness to be led by the Spirit of God is paramount for what the Father expects from you, which only occurs when you reveal faith in the truth. Look at this statement from Jesus again – Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me, because of the things I do, what He did revealed God. He says if you won’t believe what I say, then what you see me do is the Father’s work within Me, by the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
The same Holy Spirit and His anointed presence abide with every born-again believer. God was with Jesus and in Him, just as He is with and in You. The most challenging aspect for believers is knowing how to live in a righteous way amid a world of sin without defying the statutes of faith. Religious leaders understate or overstate this statute, thinking it applies to a religious sacrificial servitude or ministerial acts of piety. And many religious testators have gone before us, saying to live righteously, one must give up all evidence of the flesh and life as the world goes, and become reclusive in the fellowship of self-righteousness.
The truth reveals that one can live in the flesh by the Spirit and fulfill the will of God as a righteous child on this earth. Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. This is a well-used scripture when ministering on Jesus’s Holy Ghost anointing while living in the flesh. However, there are more revelations in this truth. Let’s start with who did what; it says God anointed Jesus, the Son of Man from Nazareth, who is His Son with the Holy Ghost and with power. Scripture reveals many of Jesus’s actions in the flesh because they are written for our faith. Therefore, we can assume they were the results of this anointing of the Holy Ghost and power since God was with Him.
God has the same concern for the spiritual well-being of all His offspring, which today is represented by the body of Christ and their ability to be His image through what each says and does. Faith that is ineffective is complacent about God’s concern for spiritual matters. Such faith is out of character with a life that reveals a righteous state of union with Christ; however, this status is one many find comfortable because pulpits have laced scripture with worldly actions to such a degree that it fashions them into a socially acceptable Christian lifestyle. However, believers must understand that they are worthy of righteousness and not remain ignorant of truths concerning how to live it.
All Christians are at various levels of faith, reflecting each one’s spiritual growth according to the truths they have received. Understanding who you are, not by what you have done, but by what Christ has done for you, is a crucial part of you knowing your statute is of right standing in God’s kingdom. Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference. No matter the reasons for failures happening among the body of Christ, none are more significant than this: God accepts everyone in Jesus Christ as righteous and rightly standing in His presence.
So, there must be a spiritual consciousness of how He works to reveal a supernatural presence here. The world does not fool God; all He asks of His sons and daughters is that they live in a way that reveals His nature by a state of life led by the Holy Spirit. It is not as complicated as religious dotters have made it out to be. A believer’s witness and testimony of Christ reveal, through words and actions, that validate a faith built on truths about Christ. Every believer has a ministerial charge, indicating that the life God says is in them is to reveal the truths concerning Christ, the most critical aspect of righteousness. This means if God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power as His Son, who revealed Him, then you, as His son or daughter, can also be anointed with the same Holy Ghost and power to reveal Him, for He is with you.
This is where the truth about all of this gets all mucked up and becomes bogged down in religious quagmires: one’s ministering by such an anointing has been turned into religious and denominational efforts to exalt ministerial statutes founded upon a prism of man’s doctrines that decree what righteousness is. However, when you take all this religious stuff away, what you find is truth, not of man’s making but of God’s, for your benefit in the bounds of righteousness. God only expects believers to live lives in which the truth, revealed by the Holy Spirit, makes Jesus known, seen in what they do and speak. This is part of a lifestyle of righteousness, in which you manifest the truth about Him and urselves as God’s offspring. James 2:24 (GW) You see that a person receives God’s approval because of what he does, not only because of what he believes.
You know you are made acceptable through Jesus to be in God’s family, which makes you an able partaker of a relationship with the Father by the Holy Spirit’s presence. Everything regarding Faith in Christ that makes you heirs or heiresses to the inheritance is revealed by the word that is truth. Heb 11:7 (AMP) [Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this [his faith which relied on God] he passed judgment and sentence on the world’s unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness (that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith).
This does not mean you live as the world lives by sinful and iniquitous acts, but it reveals He is not sitting in heaven requiring your present self to be like some pious, religiously statured, self-righteous person judging everyone’s life as though exalting yours. Having the righteousness of faith enables you to live by the Holy Spirit’s leading, doing whatever God asks of you. He saw fit to grant Noah and others in the Old Testament a righteous status because of their faith in Him before Jesus came. However, He is at the core of all that pertains to a righteous stature with the Father. Since sin was present before He came and saved us, all who suffered under the curse are now redeemed. As detailed in the preceding paragraphs, Christ’s suffering has removed the curse of sin.
All of this reminds us how important it is to perceive a way of life that will manifest such a right standing in Him. The following part three will reveal an inheritance by faith in Christ, which means sharing His suffering and glory.
