Is the Son of God getting His chance in me? Is the
direct simplicity of the life of God’s Son being worked out exactly as it was
worked out in His historic life? Is the Lord Jesus Christ being abundantly
satisfied in your life or have you got a spiritual strut on? As we living in
such human dependence upon Jesus Christy that His life is being manifested
moment by moment?
“Common sense is a gift which God gave to human
nature; but common sense is not the gift of His Son. Supernatural sense is the
gift of His Son; never enthrone common sense. Our ordinary wits never worship
God unless they are transfigured by the indwelling Son of God” - Chambers August

My Response:
“You say that you may not be living up to your
beliefs, but by definition, this is impossible. We always live up or down to
our beliefs. Beliefs are the rails which govern our lives. Our trains roll on
them whether we like it or not. If your train is not rolling on the set of
rails which you claim are yours, it’s because you have diverted your train to
another set of rails-these are your true beliefs now, not the rails you left.
Unless you first understand this, you can never find what you seek…It’s the
greatest misconception in Christianity today. That what you once believed, you
will always believe. That to profess is the same as to believe. That a
profession made twenty years ago somehow trumps what you really believe today…To
believe in Christ is to follow him. To be his apprentice with full intention of
living as he lived…Casting all aside for the sake of the treasure” (139-140) from
A Man Called Blessed by Ted Dekker
and Bill Bright
Father-God, I ask that the direct simplicity of
Jesus’ life be made manifest in my life. Transfigure me.
