I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).
This scripture reveals a powerful spiritual reality, you no longer live by your natural identity, but by the identity of Christ who lives in you. There may be facts around you in the form of limiting circumstances, weaknesses, or unfavorable conditions, but these facts do not define who you are. Facts belong to the natural realm, but your identity is established in the spiritual realm.
The Word teaches that you must reckon yourself alive unto God, meaning you consciously align your thinking with your new identity in Christ (ref. Romans 6:11). Your identity is no longer based on past limitations or present conditions. It is based on Christ’s life, authority, and presence within you.
Because Christ lives in you, His ability is now your ability. His authority is your authority. His strength is your strength. This means what could not be accomplished through natural ability can now be accomplished through His life working in you. As Scripture reveals, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (ref. 1 John 4:4).
Do not live reacting to facts, live expressing spiritual reality. Speak daily that Christ lives in you and works through you. The more conscious you are of this identity, the more effective and victorious your life becomes.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I declare that I no longer live by natural identity or limiting facts, but by the life of Christ in me. I reckon myself alive to You and aligned with my true spiritual identity. I declare that Christ lives through me, and His strength, authority, and ability are active in my life. I refuse limitation and boldly express the life of Lord Jesus in all I do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
