"And God said, Let us make main in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." (Gen. 1:26). Likeness-made by which man operates, it is after image. We are trapped in the flesh. The mind tells the body what to do Renew your mind with the word. "But the ship now in the mindset of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night. Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit, and they cried out for fear." (Matt. 4:24-26,see also 27-31). Jesus never violated the Will of God. "And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full." (Mark 4:35-37, see also 38-41). God is all-knowing from beginning to end. God wants to protect us. Christians are the world's only hope. Be for your Father's business. Faith flows through fellowhship. Sin consciousness chokes faith(it weakens your spirit). "And the great dragon was castout, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven. Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." (Rev. 12:9,10). Any man that's in Christ is a new creature. "Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more." (Isa. 54:4). "And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day." (Joshua 5:9). Jesus took our sin and the punishment for it. Return your dignity, which he had stolen. The devil is the Acuser, prosecuting Attorney. Jesus is our Advocate. Will the blood take the stand. Case closed, you are free. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Rev. 12:11). There is therefore No condemnation. Out of the mouths of two, every blood needs a witness. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." II Cor. 5:17,21. Be in your glorified state. Go to Jesus inspite of your past. As you give, receive 100 fold multiplied return. God will manifest abundance in your life. "Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38). Rise up and know that you are the Righteousness of God. It is our nature, making us act right. Just like it is the nature of a cow to moo and the nature of a dog to bark. "Be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His might."
