John 12:25-26
Observation: –
It is necessary (in this writing) that we direct ourselves to that group of people who have the Lord\’s life. Among those who possess the life of the Lord can be found two distinct conditions :
- includes those in whom life is confined, restricted, imprisoned and unable to come forth (2) the other includes those in whom the Lord has forged a way and life is
thus released from them. The question thus is not how to obtain life, but rather how to allow this life to come forth. When we say we need the Lord to break us, this is not merely a way of speaking, nor is it only a doctrine. It is vital that we be broken by the Lord. It is not that the life of the Lord cannot cover the earth, but rather that His life is imprisoned by us.
Application
You cannot be living in covetousness, lies and disobedience and expect to receive life transforming revelations from the Spirit. Anyone who desires to enter into supernatural encounters with the Holy Spirit must first purge himself or herself of carnality (2 Timothy 2:21).
Prayer
If you are causing divisions or you are insubordinate to higher authorities, particularly in church, you are carnal. If you find it difficult to humble yourself under your pastor because he is not financially or materially blessed as you, it is because you are carnal. It is carnality that makes you engage spiritual assignments with the arm of flesh. Are you yet carnal? Pray.
- There are certain attitudes, habits, and other behavioral patterns that are not of God and have been acquired through unrighteous family covenants so they are demon controlled. Starting with you let God examine and identify such areas of faults, and expose them from their foundations.
- Pray that the refiner’s fire will separate you from them forever (Hab. 3;13; Mal 3;2-3).
- Pray and submit your will, emotions, dispositions and temperaments, character and mindset to the will of God so like Jesus you too can say before the king “not my will, but thy will be done” declaring that you are “dead” but alive in Christ. (Math 26:42).
