Your Divine Connection
SCRIPTURE:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
DEVOTIONAL:
When you are born again, your spirit is brand new, and it comes in line with the supernatural. The Holy Spirit lives in your new spirit. But your soul and body are another matter. Although they will be dramatically affected by the rebirth of your spirit, they are not brand new. They have not been regenerated yet. If you had dentures before you were saved, you probably will have dentures after you are saved unless God does a miracle.
If you had a bad temper before you were saved, you will probably have to deal with your temper after you are saved. The difference is that now you are spiritually connected to God, and your nature has changed. You are no longer under the influence of the devil. You are a child of God. Believers are instantly restored to all the blessings of knowing God intimately, but the full manifestation of our new state of being is a process of maturity.
As a believer you still have battles with the devil, the world, and your flesh—only now you have God’s ability to overcome and win the victory! Your divine connection is the difference between living the low life and living the high life.
PRAYER:
Dear God, thank you that I can know You intimately and You have given me Your ability to overcome every battle and win the victory over the devil, the world, and my flesh! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
