He truly has been such a huge part of my spiritual feeding when
I was physically unable to go to church and now.
Praise the Lord for others that help feed us,
I hope that you will be blessed and empowered by this read.
January 22 - Live Like Jesus
 
"But [Christ Jesus] made himself of no reputation, and took upon
him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men."
(Philippians 2:7)
 
The truth of this verse hasn't really dawned on most people.
They mistakenly think that Jesus was able to work wonders,
 to perform miracles, and to live above sin because He had divine
powers that we don't have. Thus, they have never really aspired to
 live like He lived.
"Oh my," they say with great humility, "I could never live like Jesus did.
 After all, He had an advantage. He was God!"
 
They don't realize that when Jesus came to earth, He voluntarily
gave up that advantage, living His life here not as God but as a man.
He had no innate supernatural powers. He had no ability to perform
miracles until after He was anointed by the Holy Spirit as recorded
in Luke 3:22. He worked wonders, not by His own power but by the
power of the Father, saying, "The Father that dwelleth in me,
he doeth the works" (John 14:10).
 
And when He prayed, He prayed not as a divine One who had
authority as God, but as a man who walked obediently with God.
And, as Hebrews 5:7 says, "His prayers were heard not because
of His deity, but because of His reverence toward God" (AMP).
Jesus, the divine Son of God, set aside the privileges and powers
of deity for a time and lived as a man on earth. Once you grasp that,
it will absolutely thrill your soul! Why? Because it means that you,
 as a reborn child of God, filled with the same Holy Spirit as Jesus was,
have the same opportunity to live as He lived on earth. In fact,
 that is exactly what He intends. In John 17:18 He said to the Father,
"Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world."
 
Jesus has sent you into the world to live as He lived.
Through the new birth, He's enabled you to exchange
the sinful nature of Adam for the sinless nature of God.
He's given you the ability and the command to live above sin,
to live in fellowship with the Father, to preach the gospel,
to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to cast out demons,
 and to make disciples.
 
Once you realize that, you'll throw off the shackles of doubt that
have held you back. You'll begin to live as Jesus meant for you to
live--
not as a sin-ridden son of fallen man, but as a reborn child of the
Most High God. Then those around you will actually begin to see
Jesus--in you.
