Dear Papa,
Help me to die daily as I present my life and body as a living sacrifice. May I die to self this day and live only unto thee.
Dear Child,
My Son died once and for all, but to identify with His resurrection life, you must die daily, that daily you may walk in resurrection life.
He died once but you must die daily.
Resurrection life can only follow death! No death, no resurrection life!
Only resurrection life has power and anointing.
Only resurrection life can produce fruit for eternity.
Each seed and fruit produces after its own kind.
Only that which is birthed by resurrection life will never die.
Child, it is not about more power, it is about more dying!
And then power will automatically flow from the resurrection life that follows.
Thus saith Papa
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
2 Corinthians 4:7-12 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
We must first die to self if the power of the resurrection life is to flow from our lives.
By His sovereignty, God uses circumstances of verses 8 and 9 above, to break us, that resurrection life may flow from us. “He who puts his trust only in spiritual gifts is being foolish, for such gifts do not necessarily work that transformation in the inner man. It is only out of brokenness that there can come forth life.” Watchman Nee
CHALLENGE: If we do not die to self, we cannot bear the mark of resurrection power in our lives or ministry..
