How can a person take back up with sin? By mind. It is mind that yields to the pulls of the flesh or to the Spirit. Mind given to body is flesh or reverting back to sin. Because Christ lives in the flesh and blood body of a believer there is a line between my sin flesh and Christ living in my flesh body. Such as he uses my body to live out of now in expression. Remember when Jesus said "greater works shall you do," that happens by the Christ that is in every believer. Because Christ lives in every believer that constitutes greater works by Christ being the greater works in each believer. I'm not the great one but Christ in you and me can do more in this earth than he did on earth just being in one body. Can you see that, the greater works is Christ living in bodies all over the world to make the impact the world needs, greater works.
He gave his Mary body for the sacrifice of sin and now he lives in many bodies. He is not just Mary's little boy but the life of every living breathing body that will accept that sacrifice. He lives through that body now, your body, soul, and spirit.
What can you find in Paul's Epistles? You find words. Words given in an attempt to tell you how to live.
Words like 'put off-let not-put away-take unto you the whole amour-set your affections on the things above-put on the new man-deny yourself-abide in Christ-fight-run the race-walk in love-walk in the spirit-walk in newness of life' and many more.
He uses the deep context words; reckon, yield, and mortify. All of the words have to do with life (Christ) and Godliness. A believers fulfilled life and happiness can only be found in "Christ as life or the knowledge of Christ as the life of every believer." Why am I so strong on Christ as life in message? Because I know the search every born again believer is on to solidify, if you will, their understanding of Christianity.
It is by revelation the things of God come to you. It is in "word and deed" the HolySpirit reveals Christ in a believer to a believer just like he did Paul. So what does Paul do? He preaches every believer needs a revelation of Jesus Christ, Galatians 1:15-16. Because it is this understanding that sets it all together, words begin to take on there full meaning, truth is open, the believers mind starts to relax and enjoy the revealing of Christ in them by the Spirit.
The best thing that can happen to you in spirit is Christ, the best thing in soul is the Holyspirit revealing Christ in you to you because it happens in a way you are not expecting and you know it is the Spirit because man cannot teach this. What happened with Paul when Christ was revealed in him "immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood." You will not have to ask someone what is happening. That is what the father has totally reserved for himself. The revelation of Jesus Christ comes by the father in his timing. All a believer needs to know is a revelation of the Jesus Christ exsists for them and wait on the Lord.
You may need to fellowship around it and hear from believers that have had a revelation of Christ in them but understanding it is reserved for the father and his time for his child. Every believer that has a revelation can stand as Paul did and say "but when it pleased God to reveal his Son in me."
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. - Galatians 1:11-17.
