The Christian life is not an ordinary life for mere men. It is a supernatural life for supernatural men. That’s why we must live with the consciousness of who we are in Christ. You have to leave the realm of the ordinary and walk in the realm of the supernatural where you take control of the situations of life.
If you have made Jesus your Lord and Savior, you have the right to live, the right to choose and the right to ask God for anything you want. The only people that do not have rights are those that do not know God; those who have not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Ephesians 2:12 describes such people as “having no hope and without God in the world.” But everyone who has been born-again and filled with the Holy Spirit has rights in Christ.
One of the most dangerous things for a believer is not to know his rights. When you don’t know your rights in Christ, you’re at the devil’s mercy and that would be a dangerous way for you to live as a Christian. But when you know your rights, you’ll be bold to take possession of all that belongs to you in Christ.
You must know your rights in Christ and stand on them. That’s when you’ll see the results that the Bible talks about. That’s when you’ll walk in the glory that Christ came to give to His own. You can start today. Start digging into His Word; search the Scriptures for yourself. Discover your rights and privileges in Christ - what He has said you can do and have - then begin to appropriate them in your life.
