Let me ask you a question.
What are you becoming?
Everyone, who is breathing, is in the process of becoming.
Everyone, is in the process of spiritually evolving towards a final end result.
None of us will live long enough on the earth to complete the process, but many will certainly reach an advanced stage of existence and performance within this "becoming" process.
The backslid, the unsaved, the unbeliever, the Christ rejectors, are in the process of becoming more like the devil as he is their father. (John 8:44)
This is what their becoming process leads them towards every second.
To be more and more like the devil is their "becoming"..
The Christian, that is the born again believer, is in the process of becoming more like the devil.....also.......Unless, they are living in complete surrender and obedience,... submitting themselves min by min, day by day, year by year, to God and his will, and if they continue to do this, they are changed from glory to glory (2nd Corin 3:18) towards the fullness of the stature of Christ.
If they do not submit to the will of God, constantly & consistently, then they eventually backslide towards becoming more like the devil.
You can never backslide towards becoming more holy or more like God.
You can only backslide towards the fallen nature which is the devil's nature.
Now, how does God help us to become more like him?
"for as many as received him (Jesus) he gives them power to become.".(John 1:12)
See that?
That's "Christ in you the hope of Glory".(Colossians 1:27)
Thats the power, thats the anointing, thats the means to execute for God on the Earth all he has for you to do.
And this power, which IS, "Christ in us the hope of Glory", has put us "in Christ", and is on tap, is available, and is designed to recreate us into his image and empower us to do his "mighty works". (John 14:12).
Thats you.
The very power of the resurrected Christ, is literally inside your body right now if you are born again.
The same Jesus who walked on water, raised the dead, healed the sick, and rose from the dead, is living inside you right now.
His Spirit is inside you, it indwells you, it lives within as you have received the very Spirit of Christ., and he indwells you. (Romans 8:9)
And this power, the power of Christ, IF leaned on, relied on, trusted, and released by Faith, can literally reinvent your entire life and do mighty works..(John 14:12)
You are not doing them, but Christ in you who is the same as he was from the beginning, is able to do the very same works through you as he did himself, and through Paul...
Paul said to be a follower of him as he followed Christ. (1st Corin 11:1)
This literally means to "do the same".. "be the same"..."act the same"..."believe the same"..."become the same".
And what did Paul do?......He did what Jesus did and what Jesus told him to do.
And Jesus did what he saw the Father do...(John 5:19)
Thats what you are to do....
And how are you to do it?
You are not to try to do it in your own power or energy or will or effort as this is carnal effort.
You are to do "all things Through Christ who strengthens you". (Philippians 4:13)
And what authority do you have to become more like Jesus and to do his works?.
You are now a Son of God.
That is your position in the family of God..
You are bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh...(Ephesians 5:30)
You are indwelled with the Spirit of Christ.
That is your Power on tap to do for God what he wills.
And how do you access the unlimited power of the Spirit of Christ.?
By Faith..
And, its by deeply understanding and accepting the revelation of who you are and what you are "in Christ" that your Faith becomes empowered and energized and unleashed to access God's power (riches in Glory) to change circumstance. .
Saint, all a miracle is, is the power of God to change a circumstance from wrong to right, from lack to increase, from lost to saved, from darkness to light.
God is the Power, Christ is the Spirit, and you are just the faithful "in Christ" transmission device.
And because You are "in Christ", and he is in you., then the power available for creating the miracle, this divine power to change a wrong circumstance into a right circumstance, is available from God, to Christ, to Paul, to You, by the prayer of Faith.
Remember your bible told you that,... "the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much". (James 5:16).???
Availeth, means "to be strong" or "strength", and here it is speaking of the spiritual authority of a believer's prayer of faith, to act on God's behalf, and therebyaccess God's divine power that will change a circumstance, as need be..
Believer, you are that righteous one, as the righteousness of Christ has become yours as the indwelling Christ is now becoming you.......(Galatians 2:20)
