Live as Christ Daily

This morning after reading from 1 Peter 1 & 1:12 I told my wife I had something better to share with her that would minister to her. It was Heb 11:1 A Faith chapter talking about Abraham our prior (to Jesus) father of Faith. I described how despite his age & that his wife had never been pregnant yet he believed he was the Father of many nations. That is what his new name meant!
Abe saw in his thoughts, imaginations, that he was already the father of many nations without a child. He saw the final end before it happened, he had hope & vision from the prophesy. This faith: hope in what he did not see with his physical eyes yet but inspite of that he trusted God, is what pleased God. The trust in Daddy from His heart brought Him unconditional favor or Grace (Jesus!). Trust pleases God. We are told to trust Him in Prov. 3:5-6.
Putting into practice:
Yesturday my wife was manifesting things that we identified as flesh. Apostle Paul states that your flesh is dead dead dead! The Word of God says it is dead. We conclude there than should be no fruits of the flesh manifesting or present in the lives of those who believe this.
When one believes that their flesh died from a heart level, they are constantly reminded of this and they stop doing the old ways of the flesh. They feel joy and release, freedom every time they are faced with something where their flesh used to react!
The flesh is dead is half of what we hear in the Gospel. The second half is now we are resurrected with Christ Jesus and now are living His life as Him!
Believe this as Abram believed he was Abraham, a Father of many nations. The fruit of believing this with your whole heart looks like perfection!
