As they make music they will sing,
“All my fountains are in you.”
PSALM 87:7
People often get caught up in labels - identifications with something or someone of the natural world. This is precisely what the Lord does not want his children doing. He wants all his children to be completely identified with Jesus Christ.
As children of God - Jesus is our God - It is only through him in which we even have life. In getting rightly related to Christ Jesus - he fills you with his virtues - for you are no longer natural - but supernatural - you are eternal with light of Christ Jesus. He is Lord - He is God. Christ Jesus is the King of the world.
When the Lord works in you - evidence of his work is that you will begin to see cracks - falsehoods - failings in the natural world. The breaking down of the natural life causes panic within yourself of letting go of what is known - even when it is failing. He is drawing you to himself. The Lord desires you to set aside the natural life for him.
The Lord does not call us to be the best of ourselves. The Lord calls us to seek his will to be done in us - such that his will comes out of us. A persons natural best does not measure up to the work needed for the kingdom of heaven. It is Christ in you that has the power and ability to save souls and change the world.
