P. 21
wasn’t in Jericho. If He was in Jericho, He wasn’t in Samaria.
But now He has a new body. He’s in the United States. He’s
in Africa. He’s in China. He’s in France. He now lives and He
can do greater things because He has a new body!
I once heard a story of a missionary girl and God had
revealed to her this life that He wants to live in her. She got all
excited and wanted to give a testimony but she was nervous.
So, she had trouble getting the words out correctly. Here’s what
she wanted to say, “Let Christ have His way in your life.”
Here’s what she did say, “Let Christ have His Life in your way.”
What she said was much better than what she intended to say!
It’s possible that there is somebody in this room, you
might be thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years old, and you have never
lived as God intended you to live. You haven’t understood what
Jesus modeled in His example for living. He said, “I make no
decisions on My own. I have no private will. I don’t seek my
own honor. I don’t do anything unless He does it in me. I don’t
say anything unless it’s through Him.” Have you even begun
to taste the Exchanged Life? He wants to live again as your
substitute. As He once died in your place, He now wants to live
in your place. He’s still on the journey. He has not yet saved
the world and He wants to do it in us and through us. May God
help us to live as God intended man to live!
Our Heavenly Father, we thank You so much for Your
word, not what we think it might mean but all that You have
inspired it to mean. Work that in our hearts we pray and thank
You for being willing to live in us. We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
