Daily Rhema: Manifesting the Life of God

John 1:4 (KJV)
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

God wants the life of the Lord Jesus to be manifest in our physical bodies here on earth, by bearing about in our body the dying of the Lord Jesus always (2Cor. 4:10-11).

When we get born again we receive this life into our spirits, giving us the witness of the Spirit that we are children of God (Rom. 8:16).

As we grow spiritually, this life begins to enlighten our minds, causing us to have a clearer knowledge of God (Eph. 1: 17, 18). It also refines our emotions in our souls, causing us to become more like God in our character (Gal. 5:24).

God’s purpose is for His life to transform us completely: spirit, soul and body (1Th. 5:23).

The life of God manifests in our flesh or bodies at three levels:

Supernatural strength to pray and lead a fasted life. As the life of God begins to have greater influence in our physical bodies, it imparts to us the supernatural ability to pray 2-3 hours daily (including 1-2 hours of prayer in the Spirit). In reality, we tithe our time (2.4 hours a day in personal concentrated prayer and bible reading and fellowship with God). Further more, we lead a fasted life, not overcharging our hearts with overeating (Lk. 21:34).

Supernatural righteousness to respond only to righteous and not sinful stimuli. In one sense, as the measure of the life of God in your body increases, it acts like a spiritual anaesthetic against sin, causing your body only to respond to righteousness. The scripture says that the senses can be exercised to discern between good and evil (Heb. 5:14).

Supernatural power for miracles and healings. Again we see this in the life of Christ. He healed the woman with the issue of blood by the life of God that was flowing in His physical body and, by extension, His clothes (Mk. 5:25-34)!

We manifest this life of God in our bodies by daily dying to self (1Cor. 15:31), taking up our cross: which really is enduring the suffering of self denial, praying in the Spirit, and reading, confessing, meditating and doing the Word (2Tim. 2:15, Josh. 1:8).
