Renewable Energy Source
1 John 2:20-21 But ye have an unction
from the Holy One, and ye know all things. (21) I have not written unto you
because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is
of the truth. (KJV)
When you accepted the Lord’s plan of
salvation and committed your life unto Him you were given an unction or
anointing, the same anointing that our Lord operated in when He walked this
earth. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power so
that He could demonstrate how we too could walk in the Spirit and no longer
be in bondage to the flesh and its limited carnal realm. By knowing all
things you now know the things of God, Spiritual things that allow you to
be spiritual as well; things that make you complete, spirit, soul and body.
Before our Lord paid the price for sin and brought reconciliation to this
fallen world we were kept on the outside unable to tap into this unlimited
realm of power and love, which results in a sound mind to those that renew
themselves daily in the Word.
1 John 2:27-29 But the anointing which ye
have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach
you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth,
and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (28) And
now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have
confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (29) If ye know
that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is
born of him. (KJV)
You know, I spent my life in the past
looking everywhere for peace and contentment, and along the way I
encountered many people with many different views on how to achieve this
peace. In the end, I should say the end of my old ways and thinking, I
found the truth was within me once I accepted the Lord and said I would
follow His lead. It is only this anointing that is within you that is able
to teach you all things, not only the things of this life, but the things
of the Spirit, an unending life of joy and peace to those that look to this
realm as well. This anointing that we have received, and should be
continuing to receive counsel and wisdom from, is from God Himself so that
we can know the truth that sets us free and keeps us free from all the
doubt and confusion of this fallen world. Where are you looking today for
your source of strength; are you still looking in the fallen realm amongst
fallen people thinking you will find the answer, or are you looking above
to find the only answer that will bring peace and contentment?
Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness
and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, (5) Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (6) Which
he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; (7) That being
justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life. (KJV)
You know, in this carnal realm that we
are surrounded in there is constantly news of shortages, mankind and his
source of energy is lacking, unable to provide what is needed. If you
notice throughout the Bible, our Lord’s realm is described as abundant,
more than enough, never lacking. However, if you do not spend the time and
make it a priority to renew your mind on a daily basis, then you will be
lacking, coming up short in what our Lord promised to His people. The more
you look to God as your source, the more of an abundance you will find He
has provided for you to walk in, nothing lacking. If you look to anything
or any source other than our Lord to find substance then you will be
looking according to your outward limited carnal vision, and will be
blinded by your lack of insight into the truth. Just like with the wind
that mankind is starting to use for an energy source, something that is
unseen but quite effective as a source, you too have an unlimited unseen
source of energy to tap into if you take the time and make it a priority.
Romans 12:1-3 I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (2)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God. (3) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to
every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he
ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith. (KJV)
Thayer’s definition for ‘renewing’:
341
anakainoo- to cause to grow up, new, to make new
a) new strength and vigor is given to one
b) to be changed into a new kind of life
as opposed to the former corrupt state
The truth be known, many that claim they
are of God and one of His people are really not much different than the
world and its thinking; any gimmick that comes along, any holiday that
mankind tries to peddle as being Christian, rather than coming out and
being separate, they are likeminded with the world. The only way there is
going to be a real change in your life, the only way you will find any
strength and power is by renewing your mind so that you can continually
grow up and mature in the realm of the Spirit, no longer influenced by the
things of this life and all the worldly people that hold to it. God does
not play favorites; He has dealt to every man the same measure of faith,
the same measure Jesus Christ operated in when He walked this earth. The
question now becomes, how much of this measure have you given ear to and
put into practice in your own walk; because in the end, this is what will
determine your outcome. Today you have access to an unlimited source of
power from above so that you don’t have to come up short. God bless and go
take what is rightfully yours.
