THE ZOE LIFE IN YOU
“…. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
John 10:10
Main Text: Main Text: John 1:3-4
The Greek word for 'life' here is 'Zoe' and it means life in the absolute sense or life as God has it. Only those who receive Jesus can experience life as God has it. Jesus came to not only save us from the torment of eternal hell, but also to give us this 'Zoe' or God-kind of life in abundance. The life of God is not meant to be enjoyed after death but what you can experience NOW that you still have your breath. Disallow your life of flesh by denying any thoughts, emotions, or actions that are not in rhythm with the Word of God, i.e. life as God have it. When we live our thoughts, emotions, and actions based on the instructions of God, then we will find this 'Zoe' life manifest in our day to day living.
The Word of God that you allow in your spirit will manifest in your life. The Word is spiritual and its only your spirit man that can connect with it. (1 Cor. 2:14). The Bible is inspired of God and therefore, totally accurate and reliable, and yet, until we receive the spirit that these words express, the Bible will not profit us (Heb. 4:2).
If we want to know what the spiritual truth is, we must allow the dominance of the Word in our life. If we want to be led by the Spirit, then we must follow God's Word. If we want to hear from the Spirit of God, then we must listen to what God says in His Word. The Spirit (Holy Spirit) and the Word (Jesus - Jn. 1:1) are one (1 Jn. 5:7). Never get tired of meditating on the Word of God for that’s where you get the rhema.
Confession:
I am special and extraordinary. I am not average! I have been custom-made. I am one of a kind. Of all the things God created, what He is most proud of is me. I will keep my head held high, knowing I am a child of the Most High God, made in His very image.
