Thoughts
on Michael Wells’ teachings in Sidetracked In The Wilderness - # 51
Michael’s book is
available through:
Abiding Life Ministries
International
Littleton, Colorado
Notice: this email is part of a BLOG, called Getting Out of the
Wilderness. Why a blog? So that many can receive the weekly thoughts
I express on Michael’s writings in an easy manner.
You
are about to read some of the most incredible insights into God’s truths that
have evaded many for so long. This
monumental experience of “entering into Christ” and “Christ entering into us”
at the moment we are Born Again is so full of life changing happenings that we
should be praying and praying for God to reveal it ALL to us.
THE MOMENT
BY MOMENT CROSS

excerpt
from pages 144-146 of SIW (14th printing,
March 2012)

God
is not bound by something that He Himself has created, such as time…From His
perspective, once we enter into Christ at any given point in time, we have
always been in Him…At this point, it might help if you would see Christ’s life
as a line that meets to form a circle, described as the Alpha and the Omega
(Revelation 1:8), the first and the last (Revelation 1:17), the beginning and
the end.
You
have eternal life because you have Christ’s life within. You need never worry that there will come a
time when God is weary of you, because you are in the very eternal life of His
Son, of whom He never grows weary.
…Getting
into the line of this circle called eternal life was a one-time event. It happened the day you gave your life to
Christ…Co-crucifixion is a one-time event in that it happens the moment that
you enter the line of the circle, and yet it is moment by moment as you abide
in His life.
…God
put me in Christ and I was crucified.
The Christian is never to attempt self-crucifixion; it cannot be
done. We are to only act on what has
already been done.
Therefore,
my crucifixion with Christ is an accomplished fact, but if I close the door to
His life, the moment-by-moment application of the cross to my old baggage and
residue – which makes the experience of the victory a reality – will
cease. Again, God has structured my life
to be lived in a moment-by-moment fellowship with Himself.
One
of the biggest challenges for man is to believe,
receive, reckon, and appropriate
the great, marvelous SPIRITUAL truths that we cannot see or touch with our
physical parts. We say we do when we get
Born Again…then begin to doubt. We
wouldn’t IF we had a PHYSICAL ticket!
So, it is imperative upon us to find our way to trust God for that which
only those who are Born Again can truly trust Him. I’m so grateful for men like Michael who have
known and shared the truths revealed to them so that I (and YOU!) can “own”
them also!!!
Praise
God for His revelations! May we
experience His Life in us more so in 2015 than each of us have ever before
experienced Him…
