But if the Spirit
of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up
Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that
dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the
spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new
life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been
replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”
Often, I tell
people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital
experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new
life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ
Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by
the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the new creation, as, “…if they drink
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them…” Mark 16:18.
The blood that’s
flowing through your veins isn’t what’s keeping you alive (there is the life of
God in You, the divinity at work in you). “What then is the importance of the
blood?” you may ask. Well, blood testifies of your humanity. Leviticus 17:11
says, “For the life of the flesh is in
the blood….” Hence, the redemption of man was by the shedding of blood.
However, in the New
Testament, the life of your flesh is no long your blood but the Spirit. There’s
no sickness or disease strong enough to ravage your body not even Coronavirus. But if your life is not in him, dependent on the
blood: “but as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.
Have this
consciousness, if you are born again or received the new life in Christ Jesus.
It doesn’t matter the symptoms that may try to fasten themselves on your body,
you are alive and healthy by the Holy Spirit
