Do you find yourself doing what you don’t want to do, and not doing what you want to do? Apostle Paul had this struggle too, but he finally found the answer. It doesn’t lie in a “what” but “who”—Jesus! Join Joseph Prince as he delivers a powerful message on how your struggles finally end only when you come to the end of yourself and humbly receive Jesus as your true identity. Learn what your “flesh” is and what being “in Christ” means. Let Jesus Himself set you free and end your struggles as you discover who you really are in Him!
what does it mean in Christ Jesus that
means listen carefully
just as you accepted the Lord Jesus
Christ as your Savior as your substitute
right amen
how many of you got a safe shout amen
first how were you saved by trusting in
your effort come on
thirty percent of your effort twenty
percent ten percent
how about five percent come on one
percent no it’s none of your efforts
completely the Lord Jesus Christ and
it’s finished work
am i right that’s how you got safe now
in the area of holiness the same thing
applies God wants you to understand it
is you are now in Christ Jesus what does
it mean in Christ Jesus that means the
way you accepted Christ seo your
salvation and forgiveness of sins right
now you accept the Lord Jesus Christ at
God’s right hand as your true self not
this struggling self this is not your
true self pastor I am struggling that is
not your true self your true self before
God in God’s eyes is the man at God’s
right hand the phrase in Christ Jesus
means your identity before God in God’s
eyes have changed God is not looking at
you’ve got is not even looking at
struggle as far as God is concerned we
have died we have been crucified with
Christ let me tell you your history in
Christ when Jesus was at the cross
understand this God took all of us and
God put us in Christ he didn’t just die
for us Jesus died s us as far as God is
concerned you’re no more life I am no
more life the eye that likes to do wrong
is no more life but pastor Prince you’re
still alive we’re talking to us I live
yet not i but Christ lives in me it is
the mystery I live yet not i but Christ
lives in me tomorrow when you face your
prospects or the future or problems or
going for interview or certain challenge
no this is not you going it’s Christ
facing the problem for you you
rest in him amen you live yet not you
but Christ lives in you
amen so the thing is this God is saying
look away from yourself
look away from all your shortcomings
your sins stop being introspective look
away from yourself and see the man at
God’s right hand he is you today he is
your true self and I was when God wants
to look at you when God wants to judge
you when God want to assess you God does
not look at you God looks at Jesus
Christ because Jesus is the new you
that’s what it means in Christ Jesus our
identity today is in Christ Jesus that
means he represents us do you know that
Jesus is at the Father’s right hand not
as God let me establish once and for all
Jesus Christ as 100% man 100% God but he
did not die as God God cannot die he
died as men he rose as men he is always
God but you must understand that when he
sat down he sat down as a man finally
God’s heart can rest in divine
contentment and complacency God’s heart
is resting in joy in the perfect man
heaven finally has found a perfect man
and you know what that man is you as far
as God is concerned that man is you can
that man be condemned again never
neither can you thank God look at the
man by the way God’s eyes is always on
this perfect man Christ Jesus at his
right hand his eyes always on him you
think God is looking at you God is
looking at you in him as him okay or he
as you I should say and goes eyes ever
on him David’s prayer in Psalms
look upon the face of your anointed and
bless me Hebrew Anointed Messiah look at
the face of your Messiah and bless me
alright God is looking at Jesus as the
basis to bless you God is looking at
Jesus as who you are but pastor doesn’t
God see my shortcomings my bad parts
just now God is looking at Jesus
thoughts Jesus is perfect
he is you that’s why you are confused
God is treating you like Jesus and
you’re treating yourself like I’m gonna
say trash rubbish we don’t realize the
deliverance is out of self in another
person Christ himself Wow
but posturing how does that help me my
temptation every time your attempt I
just realized alright man into itself we
are no more in ourselves
we’ve been crucified we have died and
our identity identity today before God
is Christ himself are you with me
first John says it like this alright
love has been perfected among us in this
that we may have boldness in the Day of
Judgment because as Jesus is present
tense so are we where after we die and
go to heaven in this world as Jesus is
this is not a game enough this is not
hoping that you’ll be like this no it’s
not saying do your best to be like this
no it’s a declaration of fact divine
fact as Jesus is so are we that’s why we
can never be condemned because Christ
cannot be condemned ever again God I
cannot see one strike of stain of sin on
Jesus not a good can go see you what
because there’s therefore now no
condemnation to in salvation you must
accept Christ as your true self today
before God have you done that we’re
gonna do that after the service how
about that amen
if we don’t understand this lesson we
are still trying our best
we still think that I can make it I can
do my best I can overcome lust I can
overcome anger then you’ll always be on
a merry-go-round you know you always be
be having another lap around the
mountain falling flat on your face
getting very disappointed feeling
feeling lost distance just a feeling
all right and you’re always struggling
in Romans 7 the way out is to know I
have died
because when Christ died I died when he
was raised I was raised when he sat down
i sat down Christ Christ is merely
you
