“Root-rot” (fear, shame, anger, “emotional beliefs”) erodes the simplicity of abiding in truth and victory. Rather than focusing on fixing wrong behavior (“pruning”) this week, ask the Lord, “What’s going on underneath my (& other’s) bad behavior?” Or “What is this temptation offering me that Christ in me isn’t already fully supplying?”

We turn from Christ before we ever turn to sin. Let’s get to the root of it. Don’t be an “unbelieving believer.”

“But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Kindness is self-sacrificing intention, offering restoration, requiring repentance to receive.

Who God is and what He’s done
is the Source of
Who I am and what I have in Christ!

Chapter 1 says there are four types of people (X = Christ):

I not X (unbeliever)
I & X (1 of many ways)
X & I (saved but "in control"--miserable "unbelieving believer")
X not I (Christian--or a "Christ-in"; literally: "little Christ"; Gal 2:20)

David made a key point that the first three struggle with the issue of control. Although control is an illusion, we constantly struggle with letting go and trusting that Christ in us is enough in "all things." (Rom 8:28)

How do we move from the third to the fourth person? [Christ as Savior > Lord > Life!]

Usually some sort of problem or suffering.

“And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭

It has been my experience that God permits situations that require our yielding to the reality that He in us is enough; I can't, but Christ in me can do all things; He is our adequacy (“Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,” 2 Cor 3‬:‭5‬ )

God permits all self-sufficiency to fail so that we might discover that He never does! We might say, God is like a bulldozer, not wrecking our will, but pushing us into His.

Why am I resisting instead of trusting? How's that working for me?

“My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power...”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

We start a book study tonight. 1 chapter a week at my house 500 Otts Shoals Rd Roebuck SC 29376

Nancy Tan, in the Prologue, asks, "if doing the proper Christian things does not truly bring abundant life, what does?"

We're likely all aware of our own weaknesses, failures and disappointments in our Christian walk. I pray we all discover for ourselves, in the presence of God and others, who we are and what we already have in Christ.

May we discover the "rest" of the gospel. We can rest in God's finished work.

See you Sunday, 5:30 pm.
