READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL:

ALIVE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS
CHRIST.

*PASTOR ANITA*
SUNDAY, JUNE 8TH,2014.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to
be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto
God through Jesus Christ our Lord
(Romans 6:11).
To be “alive to God” means to be
awakened to His reality and realm of
life; it is to be in conscious fellowship
with God. Ephesians 2:1 says, “And you
hath he quickened (made alive),who
were dead in trespasses and sins.” This
isn’t a promise of something God is
going to do; He’s already done it!
You’re alive to God! Declare this with
joy always: “I’m dead to sin, but alive
unto God!” Since you’re alive to God
and He’s real to you, you can hear and
know His voice; you can know His
thoughts, His will, and
walk in His divine destiny for your life.
The non-Christian isn’t alive to God;
he’s alive to sin and dead to the
realities of the heavenly realm. When
we talk about hearing God’s voice, he
wonders how anyone can claim that
the almighty God speaks to him. Well,
yes, God speaks to us and we hear
Him, because we’re alive to Him.
That’s our place; that’s our realm of
life. Glory to God!
The one who’s not alive to God is
easily rattled and discomfited in the
face of adversity. When challenges
come, he frets and wonders,“Where
can I get help?” However, when you’re
alive to God, He becomes your help.
Someone you know may be facing a
terribly hopeless situation, like a
cancerous growth that has
metastasized, and you’re thinking,
“Well, we’ll get him the best medical
care in the world.” You can call the
best doctors and things may not
change. But there’s one Doctor you
can call and be assured that everything
will be all right. His Name is Jesus! But,
you’ve got to be alive unto Him first!
When you’re alive to God, His light
shines in your spirit; His Word works in
you: you become alive to His
righteousness, wisdom, and grace! You
receive counsel and guidance from
your spirit because you’re one with
Him (1 Corinthians 6:17). If you’ve not
been born again, I encourage you to
give your heart to Christ even now, and
become awakened to the fatherhood
of God. Say, “Heavenly Father, I
confess Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I believe that He died for me, and that
You raised Him from the dead for my
salvation. I receive eternal life into my
heart now, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, I thank you for your light
that shines in my heart, and the power
of your Word that transforms my life
from glory to glory. I declare that I’m
alive to your righteousness, grace, and
the realities of the Kingdom of God, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: Romans 6:12-13
(CEV) Don't let sin rule your body.
After all, your body is bound to die, so
don't obey its desires 13 or let any
part of it become a slave of evil. Give
yourselves to God, as people who have
been raised from death to life. Make
every part of your body a slave that
pleases God.
