ONE STEP TO YOUR FREEDOM! (PART 2 OF 2)

10th  JULY 2023

^“ The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them, God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” – Colossians 1:26-27

Moving forward from the previous devotional, we must understand that for us to succeed in using the principles and guidelines that will set us free from negative distractions and evil manipulations, we must do the following:

First, you must understand that every personal experience you encounter has something to do with your spiritual makeup or beliefs. That is because the invisible controls the visible. Or better put, the spiritual realm controls the physical world.  By spiritual realm, I mean that other realm other than the physical realm, which is invisible, yet exerts high-intensity control upon your life in the physical world. Therefore, you must first take charge of your spiritual space/mind and clear it of all forms of debris likely to manifest as problems in your life. Note that your spiritual realm is in you!

For instance, when you are healthy, you can energetically express yourself by being cheerful, strong, thinking straight, and focused. So, good health comes from an inner condition that gives your physical life a cheerful experience, the ability to hit the ground running, and the ability to exert energy at work. Note also that the manifestation of pain in our body, no matter how slight, is a sign that something has gone wrong inside us, apparently with our spiritual space within.

Applying this example to our life generally, we can say that when we have contentment, and happiness and are doing great, the spiritual environment within is excellent and free from the problem–causing spiritual clogs and debris. However, when our financial state is low ebbed, or we are sick and disillusioned or confused generally, it means that our spiritual environment needs to be adjusted and purified of debris and problem-causing clogs and debris to our finances and our health.  

What then is inside or in your spiritual realm/space that controls what happens to you physically? The Bible says Christ in you is the power that connects you with the glory of God; it connects you to wealth and health (Colossians 1:26 – 27). Christ in us is the eternal word of God which created all things and therefore is behind all the manifestations of good things in our life.

Therefore, the principle that helps you regain your freedom from distractions and evil manipulations is to connect your heart with Christ or God in you at all times! When your heart is not connected with Christ, you give the negative unseen forces to take over your spiritual space to cause clogs and debris which eventually act against your well-being.  Therefore, when your heart is connected with Christ, you will experience a sense of inner peace and purification as well as receive the sublime presence of God in your life. The presence of God brings God’s love and the anointing, which cause positive manifestations to occur in our lives generally. Remember, in the presence of God, there is an anointing that breaks every yoke!

From today, I urge you to connect your heart with Jesus Christ in meditation at quiet times in the morning and late at night before going to bed. What you do in this process is that you are going to be focusing on Jesus Christ, His spirit and power are already planted in you by God; Ask Him to release His power and essence into your heart to clean your spiritual space and realm of all debris and clogs standing against your wellbeing. You will never be the same again! You will be amazed at what happens after that; The presence of the Lord will overwhelm your heart, spreading His light and power to touch every aspect of your life.

Today’s word teaches us that the Spirit of Christ dwells in us, nurturing us and giving us a life of abundance. If we can remove the veil between us and this power within, then we will experience the glory of God in all aspects of our life.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ, I ask that you connect my heart with thy spirit today to experience your presence and anointing in my life. Thank you, Jesus, for the power of your love. AMEN
