Heb 12:2 (NIV) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. It is true you are suffering from your issues with fear. But, it is important that you realize that Jesus suffered in a greater way so you could be healed. His suffering produced solutions to your suffering. Now is a time for you to start taking advantage of His sufferings so you can start living The Victorious Christian Life.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live: In submitting your life to Jesus, the fourth thing that is required of you in The Six Biblical Principles is, you must BELIEVE for it. You must always keep in mind that the Bible makes it clear that submitting your life to Jesus has already been credited to your record with God; so, you are starting out with a perfect record. But, Jesus wants you to BELIEVE and trust Him to empower you to ACTUALLY submit your life to Him. Submitting your life to Jesus is your path to healing from all the suffering you are doing because of the issues of fear.

In every problem in life there is ALWAYS a part you played in having the problem. If God didn’t start you out with a perfect record, then all the things you should have done and should be doing and are NOT doing would be held against you. But, since God is already CREDITING a perfect record to you, you can improve in your ACTUAL behavior without fear of God’s rejection. Your perfect record prevents you from having to keep going over what you should have done. When you make a lot of mistakes in your relationship with yourself and the people around you, God doesn’t hold it against you. BUT, as you make these mistakes against yourself and other people, they and you DO hold them again you. This hurts your relationship with yourself and others. So, Jesus is asking you to allow Him to live through you for awhile. He is going to take your problems with fear and use them to turn you into a much better person.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me: You can go from good people-relationships just being credited to your record, to you ACTUALLY treating yourself and other people in a good way. Your past is completely cleansed, forgiven, and CREDITED with perfection with God. But, you don’t want to just go back and make the same mistakes again; you need to get a new system for living life. So, if you will allow Jesus to, He will take you into a training and behavior changing system that is incredibly powerful.

Jesus has a way of training and changing you that is VERY different from anything you have ever experienced. He does it by HIM living the right things in and through you rather than Him telling YOU how to do it. He will live through you in such a way that you will experience things as if you are doing them yourself; but with great power and skill. He wants you to allow Him to do the living in your place for awhile. He wants you to let Him show you how it is done by you allowing Him to take your life, thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds and replace them with His. But, He will ONLY take over moment-by-moment and issue-by-issue. Each moment, all during your day, you will be deciding whether or not Jesus will live in and through you. As you face each issue during your day, Jesus will be waiting to see if you are going to allow Him to live in and through you; or, you are going to do it yourself.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me: This Scripture is ONLY true for you, if Jesus gets your permission moment-by-moment and issue-by-issue. From now on, all day long, each day, He will be waiting to see if you will BELIEVE and trust Him for His input, His influence, His methods, and His way of doing things. The only way you will be able to learn how to live as a mature, adult child of God will be for Him to show you by Him taking the situation and living it in and through you. Once again, by you giving that moment and issue into His control, you will get a chance to see through Jesus’ eyes, feel Jesus’ feelings, experience Jesus’ thoughts, and be used by Jesus to do God-sized things. He will take you into the spirit realm with Him and let you learn how to live as a child of God. It is the most dynamic, wonderful training system in all of existence.

Heb 2:5-8 (NIV) It is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is MAN that You are mindful of him, the SON OF MAN that You care for him? You made HIM a little lower than the angels; You crowned HIM with glory and honor and put everything under HIS feet.” In putting everything under HIM, God left nothing that is not subject to HIM. YET AT PRESENT we do not see everything subject to him. Jesus can’t trust you with His great power until He has helped you with your human relationships. If there is anything that would cause you to use His power for wrong, bad, or evil, then He would be empowering you make it happen. That would make Him just as guilty as you.

You crowned HIM with glory and honor and put everything under HIS feet: This is your future; this is what Jesus is wanting to train you for; but, before you get all that power and authority, you must allow Jesus to get you ready. Your character and attitudes MUST be worked on. This is why Jesus wants you to allow Him to live in and through you. As you learn how to yield to His love, grace, mercy, and goodness, it is getting you ready for great power and authority. Gal 4:1-2 (NIV) What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. The question is, are you willing to allow Jesus to live in and through you so you can experience a life that can be trusted with all this power and authority?

Rom 8:17 (NIV) Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. Inheriting God and the things of God are wonderful! But, sharing in Jesus’ sufferings doesn’t sound like something anyone would want to get involved in. Jesus is going to take you into situations that REQUIRE you doing the right, honest, and good thing. You will have to live according to those things He will be teaching you in the Bible. That means you will have to only get involved in win/win situations. But, your boss, your spouse, your friends, or your associates will want you to do things that don’t qualify as win/win situations. When you allow Jesus to live in and through you, people will criticize you, persecute you, say false things about you, and reject you. Will you still be willing to BELIEVE and trust Jesus with the daily activities of your life? If you get good at using your two tool sets, you WILL!

John 15:8 (NIV) This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples. When you allow Jesus to only do right, good, and righteous things in and through you, there WILL be people who want what you have. Just because SOME people get mad, resistive, abusive, and rejective to you doesn’t mean everyone will. Jesus just cares about those who want what He has to offer. He doesn’t want those who don’t accept Him to be able to stop you from getting in touch with those who do. If you are willing to let Jesus do the right and good things in you and then through you, there will be those who also want to learn how to do the right and good things too. They feel the Holy Spirit speaking to their conscience and telling them they aren’t living the right way. But, they don’t know how to stop doing wrong and start doing right; however, you do! So, if you are willing to allow Jesus to take you around and through abusive people so you can get to the willing ones, a large quantity of people will receive Jesus into THEIR lives because of you.

The Three Keys To All Of Christianity and The Six Biblical Principles are the ways for you to connect to Jesus. As you start BELIEVING and trusting Him, you will start ASKING Him to take the issue you are facing at the moment and help you with it. If someone is asking you to do something that isn’t win/win, you don’t just TRY to resist it; you ASK Jesus to empower you, give you wisdom, and work through you to do it. At that moment, for that issue you put your faith (BELIEVE) in Jesus. You allow Him to help you DO THE RIGHT THING! As you start using these two tool sets, they will help you look to Jesus all during your day.
