How to Release the Life of God that is in You

2Pe 1:1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Pe 1:2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

God the Creator of the heavens and the earth loves you. He really cares about you. Jesus came to the earth because God wanted to put His life in us. The Lord will never harm you. He is not an author of evil. You already have the life of God in you if you are a child of God. We shall learn some important truths from the portion of scripture we have read above.

1. God restored His nature in you.

When we received Jesus Christ as Lord over our lives, we received the nature of God. We received the faith of God and that is why we were able to believe in Him. He gave us His faith. The Apostle Peter says, "to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." We obtained the same faith that was received by the Apostles. The faith that Jesus used to raise Lazarus from the dead is in us i.e. the faith of Jesus. The faith that Peter used to raise Dorcas from the dead, we have. The faith the the Apostle Paul had, we received. In Galatians 2:20 he says, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."(Emphasis mine). Even Paul lived by the faith of Jesus Christ.

The nature of God was restored when you received Jesus Christ as Lord. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." When you got born again, you spirit was miraculously born anew. Old things in your spirit left. This is referring to your spirit not your soul and body. In your born again spirit you are exactly like Jesus. That is why the Bible tells us, "As He (Jesus) is in heaven so are we in this world.." Your spirit does not grow up. You were 100% changed. Your spirit will never change, so the spirit you have is exactly the same spirit you will have in heaven. So what do we mean when we say grow up spiritually? Basically, what we mean is that you should grow in your soul mainly the mind or the way you think. That is why Romans 12:2 says, " And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." You see that? So the nature of God is in your spirit.

2. You have all that pertains to life and godliness

"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue."(2 Peter 1:2-3).

The Holy Spirit deposited all that you will ever need in life in your spirit when you got born again. His divine power gave to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. So whatever you need, you have. If a good marriage pertains to life, you have. If finances pertain to life, you have. If the christian life needs special power to be successful, you have. Where is it? It is in your born again spirit. The Bible says we were given all these things to be partakers of the divine nature.

3. Release God's life

Now, it is time to let the divine life in you flow to your soul and body. How? Among other ways this can be done, let me highlight two ways it can be done:

1) Pray more in the spirit

According to Jude 20, the Bible says, "But you, dear friends, must continue to build your most holy faith for your own benefit. Furthermore, continue to pray in the Holy Spirit." When you pray in the Holy spirit you build your faith. You energize yourself. This is for your benefit. What is praying in the Holy spirit? The Bible speaks for itself and says, 

"For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also."(1Corinthians 14:2,14-15).

If you pray in tongues, your spirit is praying. So you pray in the spirit and also pray in your known or learned tongue (language). So as you pray more in the spirit, you release the life of God that is in your born again spirit. Tongues are a language of your born again spirit given by the Holy spirit to communicate with God. So use that language and there are many advantages of using it.

2) Speak the Word of God

"Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth."(Proverbs 6:2). As a believer, learn to use your tongue right. You are snared or hindered and caught by your words. God and the devil are both after your tongue. The enemy the devil wants you to speak words that contradict the Word of God i.e. to speak unbelief. The words of your mouth either tie or release you.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."(Proverbs 18:21). With your tongue you can release life or death. Anything that does not glorify God is death because it is a result of sin. Sickness, sinning, and poverty represent death. They are not of God.

The good news is that, these things can change from today in Jesus Name. Those that love the tongue shall eat its fruits. That means those who use it shall reap results. So be skillful in using your tongue. Words are important. Do not take them lightly. Where we are and what we are today is a result of our use of words. Words have a creative force. So you can create your own life today.

"And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 

And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."(Mark 11:12-14,20-23).

Jesus spoke words to a fig tree and it responded. Withing 24 hours it had dried up completely. Why did the fig tree respond to words? It is because all that we see was created by words. Hebrews 11:3 says, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

So anything that you do not want or desire in your life, let it dry up now in Jesus Name. And it shall be so. Hallelujah! Jesus then told the disciples about the power of spoken words. Whatever one says shall come to pass if he speaks without doubting. Words are powerful. So use words skillfully and you reap reap desired results. Speak faith-filled words. 

God wants you to release the life He put in you. He gave you authority. You have the necessary power to bring changes in your life. God restored the life that was in you from the beginning of time. He has blessed you with all things. The Lord has given you all that pertains to life and godliness. You have His Spirit in you. Speak the Word. God loves you.
