“For no man ever yet hated his own flesh”

We trust this week you had opportunity to live as a new creation see-thru-er. Several comments came in on the message last week, “Living the Christ-Life or the Box-Life”. I enjoyed what the Father had to say on this issue. I know many prefer “Box-Life” living. Why? Either they don’t know or understand any better or they don’t want any more than they’ve always had and known. To live anyone other than “The Box” as themselves is somewhat frighting. Can you blame them? After all, who is willing or desires to give up the only thing making them secure in this world? Think about it. Many have thoughts and ideas racing through their minds, then filled and flooded with fear. The spirit of fear rushes in with his fearful illusions, deceptions, with captivity and delusion thinking. These thoughts and ideas seem so real! How can they not produce anything else but “Box-Life” living? But God! I like that don’t you? Has the answer. Apostle Paul tells us this word of truth.
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
But how will this take place? Well, as the great Star Wars teacher Yoda would say; “ it’s only in your mind, you must unlearn what you have learned”. So, what is it that we must unlearn? Three powerful things:
1. we are not the box, it’s only where we live!
2. the box is our worst enemy!
3. We have a new identity and don’t need the box to be who we are in-Christ.
I know it is hard to receive and believe you are another person. And most of us are truly fearful to think anything like that! Well let’s talk about it!
