TO THE BIBLE
John 8:23
“And He said to them, ‘You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.’“
LET’S TALK
The most sublime and profound communication ever to proceed from anyone came from the lips of Jesus. The Jews in His day couldn’t comprehend the wisdom and audacity with which the Master spoke. That’s because. He communicated with a spiritual language while they were men and women of the senses. For example, when He said in the scripture above, “…I am from above,” He wasn’t referring to a physical life.
He was referring to a spiritual life Jesus knew that His life didn’t come from Mary, because He was the Word of God made flesh. Conscious of that reality, He could say with boldness that He wasn’t of this world. Now, the Bible says concerning us that as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). If you’re born again, you’re no longer an ordinary person; you’re from above just as Jesus, and you have the same indestructible life that He has.
The Bible says we’ve been born again “…not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever” (1 Peter 1:23). You’ve been born again of that same living Word,which came from heaven, which means you too can declare like Jesus, “I’m from above!” That means your identity isn’t defined by your school, your background, your mistakes, or what people say about you. Hallelujah!
I would to God every Christian would live with this consciousness. It’ll change everything about them and bring a supernatural perspective to their lives! Don’t think like the rest of the world. Yes, you may look like them physically, but the life in you is from above.
Train yourself in this consciousness. Speak a different language; the language of the Kingdom that you’re from. Refuse to speak sickness, disease, lack, and failure. They’re not part of your heavenly kingdom.Refuse to say things like, “I’m just not good enough,” “I’m not sure I’m going to succeed,” or “I’m always anxious.” That’s not the language of someone who’s from above. For example, it doesn’t matter that others around you are catching the flu; you’re from above; the life in you destroys and casts out the flu.
I encourage you to carry this consciousness into your classrooms, onto the sports field, into group chats, everywhere you go, and even on social media. When you open your mouth to speak, others may think you’re out of your mind, or you’re being boastful (like they thought of Jesus), but that shouldn’t change your confession of who you are: you’re from above! Glory to God!
GO DEEPER:
John 15:19; John 6:51
SPEAK
I’m not of this world; therefore, I’m not subject to the circumstances and rudiments of this earthly realm. I have the overcoming,indestructible, unconquerable life of God in me, and I walk with this consciousness today. Glory to God forevermore!
