Identification
Today’s teaching is based on Ephesians 1:12-14. We read in this scripture that we were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. We are sealed with Him. He has placed His mark upon us. He is the guarantee of our inheritance in the Lord God. A seal is placed on a document by an owner. In the days long ago, every important householder had a seal representing their family or kingdom. That seal was placed in wax on any important document, signifying the owner’s stamp of approval on the document. It became a legal document. Many times the ring of the family was the seal that was stamped in the wax. God is the householder; it is His Kingdom; the Holy Spirit is His own self sealed upon our lives forever. In a sense, we are God’s legal document for all of the spirit realm to see that we are His forever.
I am identified as God’s own child by the fact that the Holy Spirit is dwelling in me. He is the marker of my being God’s child. In the Spirit realm, I am identified by the indwelling Holy Spirit Who appears as Light for all to see. He is the One Whose indwelling points me out as one of God’s own, God’s chosen.
On this earth, to both God’s angelic spirits and to the demonic spirits, I am identified as God’s own child by the light and love and life of the Holy Spirit of God emanating from me. He is the One Who does the work here on the earth right now, even though the Godhead is dwelling in me. The Father is the Light; Jesus is the Love; the Holy Spirit is the Life.
The Father is all Love, Light and Life.
The Father is the expression of Light in the Godhead.
Jesus is all Love, Light and Life.
Jesus is the expression of Love in the Godhead.
The Holy Spirit is all Love, Light and Life.
The Holy Spirit is the expression of Life in the Godhead.
You and I are privileged to be filled with every expression of God inside our spirit man when we accept Jesus as our Savior. He made the way for us to be emptied of ourselves and to be filled with Him. Jesus is the Way. God has identified us as His own because of what Jesus did. He became sin that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. He became sick that we might become healed and healthy. He became poor that we might become rich. He became the curse that we might walk in The Blessing of God.
Now, we are in the Lord and he is in us. Oh, for the spiritual understanding of Christ in us. Paul said that Christ in us is the hope of glory. Christ, the Anointed One with His anointing, is in us. He is the hope of God’s Presence being revealed in us for all the world to see. The more we identify with the Lord, the more of His Presence will be visible for others to see. Less of me and more of Him!
Who and what identifies us is so important to our lives. Why? We become like the ones with whom we identify. We act like them. We talk like them. We live like them. Usually the ones with whom we identify are the ones we spend the most of our time with. The more time we spend with God, the more we will look like Him and be like Him.
I want to be more like Him every day! How about you!
