Walking as Mere Man

...The Unbelieving Believer...

Here is an unbelieving believer. Though he is the possessor of eternal life- the life of God-yet he lives like as if he has nothing. In the Greek the word life is translated “zoe” which refers to the very life of God, the nature of God. This is the same life that came forth out of the mouth of Jesus and entered the dead body of Lazarus and went into the pits of hell and raises him from the dead. This is the same life that rise up Jairus daughter and healed that women with the issue of blood.

These kinds of believer are just assenters the Word of God. They hear the Word and agree that it is the Word of God but they never seem to possess what the Word says he has. Merely mentally assenting to the scriptures is not good enough. You need to act on the Word as though Jesus stood at you living room speaking to you right now. This brings the believer into a place of dominion and authority. Nothing that is hurled against him can prosper.

The believer then is the possessor just as John 6:47 says, “He that believes has Eternal Life..” He has it now. If fact he entered into this life when he received Jesus as Savior and Lord. He has the riches of His grace, the fullness of His grace, every gifts has been bestowed upon him….he has the fullness of his healing..yet he is sick …he has the fullness of his love ..yet he walk in the flesh..he lives in the consciousness sense of his unworthiness, unfaithfulness and defeat..

Ephesians 3:20

God’s ability is in him, yet this man is talking about his lack of ability, faith and power. God has given him everything but he is not acting on the Word.
