Separating conscious from the condition of our old Adam is the chief goal of the evil one. His wish is for man to be slaves to the system of Adam [natural life] we have created ourselves. He does this by encouraging men to become more and more world friendly accepting the system as good, tolerating it as inescapable. Adjusting our Christianity to fit its needs. Soon we become more and more comfortable with what at one time might have been judged by Christianity or common morals, as unacceptable or even evil. Incorporating the worlds ways into religious ritual and enjoyment. So what shall we do? How then shall we live?
I think the most accommodating way to look at this is to come to believe despite our surroundings, we are simply on God's destiny. This does not necessarily allow one to accept or compromise with evil, but allows freedom to choose God's way. We are after all joined with His Spirit and He's involved in all that transpires in our daily life. However, its awareness of His guiding residence that releases the power it makes available to us for lives lived in Jesus Christ. In Choosing God and not the natural as a defining mentality we must learn something new as true. The Object of our thought must become Jesus Christ and He becomes the power! Our mind on Him is where victory awaits; He in us,we in Him. "For you have died [as a Adam man] and your life [now] is hid [identified/positioned] with Christ in God'.....How do we make this knowledge the constant motivator for life?
I think much of the relief from world weariness comes by knowing the differences between realize and reckon. To realize is simply the intellect becoming aware of something, i.e. I realize I am born again. To reckon, a bible term, is to count that something as true, which changes the potential of everything. The kicker is that we first must gain enough maturity via The Word, to search out the truth, making sure were not just realizing it. Then we may enter solid ground. Sounds like a noble goal: but how is this first realized and then reckoned?
First of all one must come to know himself and accept their flaws as part and parcel of this life "sin is in the flesh" or the old Adam. Then if we so dare to forgive ourselves as God has, we may find a new life in Christ; by what the Word says about the New Adam, us as seen in Christ; as our position, not our condition which is one of flesh "For it is impossible to please God in the flesh". These two distinctions of man must be understood! Now we search the Scriptures and then seek out trusted bible scholars for clarity. My favorite in Miles Stanford [the green letters] and my second is William R Newel's, Roman's verse by verse. By that route you might stand a chance of being introduced to the Doctrine of Position/identification and then discover your identity in Jesus Christ Himself; then find freedom from the self condition or sin nature, at least in the application to who you really are as a Christian by faith. The Word of God reckons as true that we are only seen by the Father in the Son. "But we with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image[us seen as Christ] from glory to glory, even as the Spirit of the Lord" 2 Cor. 3:18. By our belief in that as true our conscious may be made clear.
We take our position by becoming aware of the bibles Words as truth, as in reckon. Then by that as a platform we enter into the mind of God, via His Word. We must learn concepts and doctrines such as position/identity etc. At least be curious as to how they may effect our faith, to begin to understand. After all we would not fathom out any knowledge on any subject without first having a basis or platform for assigning the new information mentally. The bible is directed at mankind spiritually, to the mind as the primary way for man to know what and who God is. Then the discovery of a new nature in Christ. Yes His Grace is all consuming. But if you care to reckon to believe, grow, and have freedom from this world and yourself, and you accept God as real; then you can rest, positioned in Him, by reckoning His Words as God breathed in your Bible, describing who you are.I don't know about you but that sounds very appealing to me!
All of this reckoning is accomplished by spirit/mind only. We must reckon [count as true] when the Word tells us we are "Hid in Christ". We adopt this as our thought of ourselves. Its a living Word, and we are enlivened, when the Word is entered with a preconceived determination to discovery truth. And then believe or reckon as true what it says. " For God, who commanded the light to shine out of the darkness, has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" 2 Cor. 4:6. All of our spiritual problems are solved by simply knowing first and then believing the Word of God.
It seems to me Christians are always trying to be what they are, or think they should be. This can be attributed to a realization on their part of what they have been told the bible says about them. Few really know The Word as it is reckoned, counted as true, and personally applied to them. If they did then they would discover their only description is "they are alive in Christ". Making their behavior [works, duty, feelings and experiences] in comparison inconsequential, at least as to what defines them in the inner man, in the eye's of God. " As He [Jesus in heaven as a man] is so are we in this world". This is the new nature applied to us by The Father.
My friends we cannot be good enough, kind enough, humble enough or do anything like Jesus would have done at any time! Not on this earth, not in this flesh! Well then you say: should we not even try? The answer is a resounding "yes", we should stop trying. We are all so under the cloud of what the institutions we attend say we should be, or impressions from books we read, and the truth is we mostly do not know ourselves. Ask yourself this: When I self define my personnel presence and self awareness, do I see a Christian who hopes for heaven, but lives a accepting worldly comprise and is mostly motivated by feelings and experiences? Or can I explain my inner man as one who's total range of hope is based upon one object, Jesus Christ and myself seen by The Father in Him, as reckoned by The Word of God in faith only? If you long to answer yes to the second then you must become consumed with The Word! And believe it is true, especially when it references your position in Christ to be apprehended by faith. "All things are yours....and you are Christ's and Christ is God's" 1Cor. 3:21,23.
Not to be too blunt: but I think the church largely is a failure as it now stands in its overall image, and too often perceived self improvement roll, as its function on this earth: but there is nothing new about that. I believe that all the churches tendencies to disappoint its name is because of a wordily system influence, and simply always has been. People are kept in cheap grace and easy believeism, or as in times of old, fear. The natural mans friendly or necessary methodology to hold and gain power. With the perception they are doing God's work; but they are operating in their flesh, perhaps not evil, but shall we say compromised. This is simply what we have asked for. They have sunk to our level. They are there to accommodate us. Because many Christians choose to count there flesh experiences as the defining mark of their christian life. Leaving little room for faith in the true Word. "For we walk by faith not by sight" 2 Cor. 5:7.
It is entirely necessary for true Christians to at least desire to know Christ as intimately as possible. None could come closer than if one were envisioning or reckoning themselves as in Christ; for all the purpose and desire of The Father concerning us, we are just that, as seen by Him in His Son.. "Looking away[from all that would distract] to Jesus" Heb. 12:2 amp.. If the desire of The Father were ones greatest wish[as should be]we would begin to see the truth. All this rests on a commitment to faith. Providing we can reckon, or count it all and always, His Word true. My friends let us not merely espouse faiths values, but actually act upon them in our mind's perception of ourselves "hid in Christ". Your job now simply is to step forward on the Words road to freedom not expecting anything only trusting.

AUDACIOUS AND HUMBLE
Being a believer requires two seemingly opposite things; audacity [brave, fearless] and humbleness [lowly, meek]. What a audacious thought it is to believe in a unseen and invisible force which has a mental capacity of such power that it can form something from nothing. Not to mention one who knows all things at all times, including the future. Of course if there were such a being it should not be much of a stretch to think it could become a Man and live on the earth in a perfectly sinless state: For the express purpose of bringing mankind into eternal conscious fellowship with Himself. "Come unto me [within my realm of Spirit] all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" Matt. 11:28.
All this sounds rather unlikely in human reasoning terms. But never the less all that surrounds us materially, nature the cosmos etc. screams design. Our own conscious calls out to be rescued from ourselves and this world by projecting neediness, in order to have hope both for now and the by and by, which serves us well to help one believe in this truth. But the really difficult part of the equation is finding the humbleness to accept our belief in a God like this, especially when we find out His actions, which we have been told and often thought, were exclusively for us; we come to learn were all really for Him. Made available by His Son: who projected salvation for mankind in His person. For the express purpose to glorify The Father. "For the law of the Spirit of life [His purpose and power within His own sphere] in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death" Rom. 8:2.
In other words to realize the great joy we may have by all that was created and our own salvation which so honors man and seems so suited for him cannot be fully appreciated, nor does it honor the Creator, if we think of it in a self centered way. To see one's Christianity in humbleness leaves no room for the self that so much effort by the church and our own egos attempts to uphold. No in this view man, his needs and desires and accomplishments have little to no value what so ever. This thought is very humbling is it not? "Stand fast in the liberty [Him as the object] with which Christ has made us free" Gal. 5:1
If we are not to turn our thoughts to ourselves to accomplish a Christian world view then where dose the explanation lie? The self life is claustrophobic the way old peoples homes always seem to be stuffed with trinkets of a long life. Things without function or in many cases much aesthetic beauty. We store up experience and knowledge/impressions in the same way in the self, and we use these as reminders that we are alive; proof that we are Christians. This we often refer to as spirituality: but this kind of thought only serves to reflect the object of ourselves and is grounded in feelings and experiences, never very realiable. But what of the grace and love of The Father? Is His natural expression of His attributes merely to make us happy and comfortable in our salvation Christian experience? Do we live in a obedient form so that by having the right attitude we are judged by ourselves and others as spiritual and we rest in that as satisfactions for the Christian life? "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [self centered obedience] but mighty through God [His Son as the object] to the pulling down of strongholds [the natural carnal spiritual life]" 2 Cor. 10:4.
"If therefore you were raised together with Christ seek the things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God, Set your mind on the things which are above, not on the things which are on earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God" Col. 3:1-3. The things in heaven are in contrast to the things on earth, such as self.. The things on earth include religion, culture, philosophy, and improvement in self behavior. If we see ourselves as having died with Christ we are free from all these things, as a definition of self, as God intended. We can only receive this freedom by faith in God's Word. What is it that God has provided to replace these things?
The answer is that all those things, self and the world, turn on us knowing the place where the Lord Jesus is. If He were on the earth, then that would be the place for us and include worldly enterprise. But if He is at the right hand of God in heaven we must go there. The thought we must learn to count as true and the question we must ask ourselves is what is the source of our understanding, and how do we accomplish this?
The Word answers. "Having your mind on the things above". We all know to well what is in the world, and the natural outcome of self centering ones world. We sought this world's things, often in anxiety, worry and insecurity had our mind on them and they became our life. In contrast the Christian seeks the things above and sets his mind upon them. Our mind is controlled by the object before it. My friends Christ must become everything for us. He is independent from the world and all that is in it. We may be so also, if Christ is to be our life; as defined by the inner man of the spirit/consciousness, by knowing what is said in God's Word! Thus allowing the Holy Spirit to rule. This thought can only become real by Jesus Christ being the object and representative of our presence in God's salvation. Or how we apprehend our place of spirit. Not ourselves, our needs and feelings, or performance.
Everything in the mind of the Father for us has its source in a risen and glorified Man, at His right hand. This is the reason no one of the world can, nor need see, our Christian life, which eliminates the need to cultivate self, which it seems we are so busy at. Our light is to shine, but we are to emanate His thoughts! We are walking the earth appearing like other men, but in reality are only seen by The Father in a risen and glorified man. In a practical way it comes to this.....just as the world is everything to the one attached to it, so the Lord Jesus Christ is everything to the Christian. We have no need to prove our life, the self is made obsolete. All that we are, or ever will be, is hidden in Christ. This is to be our mindset and defining purpose, if we wish Christ as life.
If you my friends want to know the New Mans [Jesus Christ] life there is only one place you can learn it; in His Mind. In order to do that we must leave everything behind which is connected with this world and ourselves. We by His Word and faith in it as truth may now travel to the very heart and mind of God. Where His thought is that His beloved Son is life, even our life. "The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus". We must see not only our roll in belief in that by the formation of our lives, but it as the defining attribute of our collective and individual existence. Thanks to C.A. Coats for a inspirational explanation of the Christian life, which I gleaned from.

ETERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS
There is simply no other place for us to live than in our consciousness. A redundant statement perhaps but never the less true. My wish above all is to be of a consciousness of my presence in Jesus Christ, and I would hope this is the wish of all Christians. If it is not that on a moment by moment basis I feel I am missing the very fruit of the true Christian experience. If the world is a thing which I tolerate as a natural place to be, and I only run to Christ as a refuge, then I am cutting off the fruit of life desired for me by the Father. "Partakers of the divine nature" 2 Pet 1:4. A life which is His Son in His planned image for me. A image held of myself in Christ by both He and I. Anything else is falling short. Converted means to change to be of Him; which is far different than mere attendance and duty or allegiance to a organization or institution.
The question I have been asking myself lately is how may I live in a current awareness of His presence. Which is really, if truth be told, my desire to not be bothered by the burden of the flesh. I simply wish to be happy. But how can I be happy to the degree I wish if I sin? The answer is I can't. My mind is controlled to a large degree by my desires and my desires are often worldly; the result always then a let down.
I had hoped that my bible study efforts, new found positional awareness etc. would accomplish a lasting comfort. Really I wished for a joyful experience. I want to skip through life a most happy man; which I now know is my selfish desire to be free from my old man. But it is not to be, at least every moment each day! There must be a reason for that and it must be one of The Fathers planing. Why is it that I am bothered by the things that I know are passing away? Where will I find relief?
This morning as I read my devotional The Lord provided a answer. It helped me immensely and I hope it will you..... "If the consciousness of what we are in ourselves, sinful and self centered, has any other effect than, while it humbles us, to increase our adoration of what our father is, we are off the ground of pure grace. The immediate effect of such consciousness should be to make our hearts reach out to God and to His grace abounding over all". What we are in ourselves, are members of a fallen race, subject to the flesh. To allow that weakness to be the tool that builds the Christian house requires some insight, but most of all faith and knowledge. Otherwise we will simply fall victim to the ways of the world and consider it normal.
As I've said many times; to know Christ as life, we must reside upon the co-crucifixion of our Adam man with Jesus upon the cross. This is the only position which the Christian may enter into understanding of his place in The Fathers view and plan. Which is entirely heavenly. To come from any other reasoning is behaviorism or earthly. In other words we cannot enter into the heavenly with Christ, in this realm, as His body, by programs and the performance pressure of how we function in the flesh by service and good works. This is not faith. It is simply not biblical! "Strengthened....according to His glorious power, unto all patience and long suffering" Col. 1:11 Grace is the ingredient which makes our presence before Him by faith possible, its free, no requirements other than faith, but grace comes first. His grace affects us but is first for Him, as it naturally emanates from His being. To take advantage of His gift of grace we must become aware of it. The lessons we learn in the suffering of the flesh will mark the way.
The act of salvation is a deliverance from one position, unacceptably sinful, to another, which is full acceptance in The Son, by the Spirits work in us. We might gain a new moral conviction when saved, but we must have more than that. Really we want to be holy, but we never arrive! Therefore we have a consciousness of our own failure. What are we to do? Now we must find our enjoyment in something else. But what? We may see it in maturity in our new position, in awareness of our heavenly nature in Christ. By His presence before the Father as a Man we become free. It was the Crucifixion of a man that made us so. We only need believe in His accomplishment, for us, as us. We my friends are not righteous in any way. Nor are we free to be anything else than sinful in our natural state. But in faiths mind, the place of spirit, He is all that we need, and He stands as us in the view of the Father. We will find all this freedom and enjoyment as it is meant to be by always placing what we are as sinful men and women seen as being done away with upon the Cross. The sacrifice of God for us! " God forbid that I should glory, except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" Gal. 6:14.
There is always much talk of the Crucifixion being accomplished for us. And we as Christians should live by the Resurrection, which establishes our eternal life shown by example in Christ. Both of these facts are to be seen as a co-action, in other words we are involved in them in spirit, a mental apprehension only. Simply a biblical God directed fact. "That I may know Him...being made conformable unto [out of the realm of] His death" Phil. 3:10. But seldom is there talk of a co-burial. Remember He suffered death and experienced it for us He lived in that death by burial for three days. He knew going to the Cross He would die, imagine God dieing for us. This my friends should be taken as a true truth of the establishment of the death of what we are in the flesh. He became a man like us. That man [us] was buried. We must set ourselves and our mind's definition of Christianity aside in the faith of these co-acts. We will realize a great power and freedom by living in His death. But it is the continued co-action of the flesh, synonymous with the inherited Adam nature that enables us to know this freedom. We suffer, we are guilty, we sin, and therefore acquire need. Let us use these gifts to the flesh from the evil one to catapult us to The Spirit where we may abandon this world by a mental heavenly ascendance in understanding, and live in a conscious awareness of Him as our life as a heavenly position which we too hold; always giving thanks for our circumstances, knowing that the fruit will be a new consciousness in awareness of eternal life and victory.
