We are to live dead to sin and our relation to it broken and alive to God in union with Him (Romans 6:11). “If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1, "AMPC"). We must change our affection. If you and I keep our attention on natural things, then the power of our new life in Christ will not be manifested in us. We will remain immature Christians. We find how we are to walk in the power of this new life in Romans 7:5-6: "When we were living in the flesh (mere physical lives), the sinful passions that were awakened and aroused up by [what] the Law [makes sin] were constantly operating in our natural powers...so that we bore fruit for death. But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness [of life]" ("AMPC"). We experience the power of this new life by obeying the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our spirits. In order to serve God in this manner, we must give Him our full attention. If you are not manifesting the power of God in your life, you don’t need more of God, He needs more of you! If you keep Him shut out of your thoughts, then you will live a mere natural life. God wants your undivided attention so that you will learn to hear His voice. When you hear His voice and obey His promptings, you will be sustained daily by the resurrection life that is in you through the Holy Spirit. He is in you to help you, strengthen you, teach you to mortify the deeds of the body and lead you into all truth. He is your perfect Counselor. Many people hear the Word of Faith and decide that they will change their circumstances by speaking faith-filled words according to Mark 11:23. What many don’t realize is that you can’t fill your words with faith. Union with God through His Word fills your words with faith. Words become faith words by hearing the Word of God. Really, by continually hearing and hearing and hearing, faith comes and faith remains. If the world is distracting you from the Father, then most likely your “faith confessions” will be empty words. You are not going to experience resurrection power unless you set your affection on Him. The promise of Mark 11:23-24 will still be yours, but it’s conditional to your heart condition: “And shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe....” “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Galatians 6:7-8). If you want to reap the quality of life God has prepared for you, you must sow to the Spirit. It’s just that simple. What does the Scripture say? “...for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” (2 Corinthians 3:6). If we will concentrate on maintaining our union with the Father, our words will have authority. God’s Spirit will make them alive with His power. Sin, disobedience, and living a selfish, carnal life will keep that life from flowing out. Romans 6:14 says that “sin shall not have dominion over you.” You can’t keep giving your attention to the things of this world and expect to get dominion over sin. As you set your affection on God and sow to the Spirit, a growing process will take place in you. You will be “changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Then the Holy Spirit does the work in you, and you will begin to look more and more like Jesus. Sin will lose its hold on you. “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). Isaiah 3:10 says, “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” If you do not live after your new nature of righteousness, then you will not eat the fruit of righteousness. Verse 11, “Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.” This goes right along with Galatians 6:7-8, doesn’t it? Now look at Isaiah 59:1-2, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Sin separates you from the power of God, even though you’re born again. Resurrection life will lie dormant in you if you walk in sin. 10 : BVOV
