Living in Righteousness

“For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God” TLB
Romans 10:10

Dear friend,

The devil has no say over your life as he did not sit with God to make you. In the presence of God, since that day Jesus Christ defeated sin on the cross of Calvary and brought you into His Glory, (if you have believed in your heart and have confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life) the devil does not even dare to stand before God as your accuser.

What he capitalizes on is the fact that most Christians do not understand what the death of Christ has done for them and are still living under the law, waiting for "God's" purnishment when they fall. But God is not waiting for you to fall so that he will purnish you? Instead He wants you to make heaven at all cost, that is why he sent his only begotten son to die for you and by doing so He has made it this simple.

Scripture says, For it is by believing in your heart that you become righteous with God. The death of Jesus took away sin from you, every single bit of it and has brought you freedom and every spiritual blessing. Hallelujah!

 What the devil does is that he fights you in your mind, intensifying guilty, making accepting your forgiveness and righteousness before God impossible, and finally making you beg for what is already yours because you don’t know it belongs to you, while he initiates his own ministry in your life, i.e to steal, to kill and to destroy.
Lets look at this example:

John 1:1-3
1 Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. 3 He created everything there is-nothing exists that he didn't make. TLB

And then:

Matt 4:8-9
8 Next Satan took Him  (Jesus Christ) to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory. 9 "I'll give it all to you," he said, "if you will only kneel and worship me." TLB

It’s an old trick in the book! The devil tried to give the world back to its maker! Just imagine that Jesus Christ did not know that he created the world it would have been disastrous, JUST THE WAY YOUR IGNORANCE CROWNS HIM VICTOR OVER YOUR LIFE.    

 It’s a shame to the devil we now know who we are and we can use this authority to rebuke his skims and manipulations in the name of Jesus Christ.

Sin gives the devil something to hold on to in your life, but it is a lie that when you ask for forgiveness you don’t get it instantly, the devil has no power over you. Once you fall into temptation, jump right out! and continue on your journey in the path of righteousness.

Become aware of Christ's righteousness each time you fall and hurriedly run into this shelter of the most high, by believing in your heart that you are righteous because of Jesus Christ. This is the key to unlocking the chains of sin. This righteousness is available all the time, all you have to do is take it by faith. Glory to God!
