A Priceless Game Changer
The life we now live is lived by faith in the Messiah living His resurrected life through us. This is not spooky or strange when we know the Lord in the way He expects us to. We have been crucified with Christ and no longer live, but Christ lives in us. The bible speaks of the fact, we are laborers together with God, and as we acknowledge Him in all of our ways, He will direct our path (1Corinthians 3:9)(Proverbs 3:6). This is a part of allowing Jesus to live through us, keeping Him in the mix especially when trouble comes. To be crucified with Christ symbolically means, we crucify our flesh, those inordinate desires, and keeping at bay moral conflicts and agitating spirits. We do that by praying on a regular basis. The more time spent with the Lord in prayer, the more of God’s power gets on us. Those agitating spirits won’t like the presence of the Lord emanating from you, his glory escapes through your demeanor and interactions with others. We can have a force field of the Lord’s protection on us all the time. To be crucified with Christ is to be totally submitted to the Lord in all we do, and say. It is to be broken in such a way that you become valuable to Him, because you’re living a crucified lifestyle. Once we become valuable to the Lord, it’s a priceless game changer.
