Prepared by God for life,and the Holy expression of Christ

By David Roberts

Invite God to prepare your soul for the genuine manifestation of Christ within you. Not a form, not an appearance, but a true revealing—Christ expressed in nature, in character, in obedience. This is not something produced by human effort, but something formed by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

Preparation is often quiet, hidden, and stretching. It is the surrendering of the inner life—the thoughts, desires, and ambitions—so that Christ may take rightful place within. The Spirit does not merely inform us about Christ; He reveals Christ through us.

As we yield, we grow—not just in knowledge, but in spiritual understanding. Wisdom begins to govern our steps. Revelation opens our eyes to see God’s purpose beyond our own desires.

“Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18)

To walk in this reality, self-centeredness must be released. The life that insists on its own way cannot fully carry the life of Christ. But the surrendered life becomes a vessel—one that reflects His heart, His will, and His glory.

This is the sacred exchange: less of self, more of Him.

Let your prayer be:
“Lord, prepare me. Strip away what is not of You. Form Christ in me. Let Your Spirit lead me into truth, into wisdom, and into the fullness of Your purpose.”

In stillness, in surrender, in quiet trust…

Selah.

Divine Design and Purpose

Every instrument is designed before it is calibrated. In the same way, God designs His servants before He prepares them.

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee.”
(Jeremiah 1:5)

God never calibrates randomly. He calibrates intentionally, according to purpose, not preference. A believer is not shaped by chance, but by divine design.

“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.”
(Proverbs 19:21)

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. (St John 4:34)

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. (St John 6:38)

We are God’s Divine design and a carrier of His purpose, we must be in constant remembrance that we should be about his will and purpose…

Living from within the presence of God

By David Roberts

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1

The believer in Christ Jesus who yields their soul's life to God experiences life in God's presence, reigning in life with authority and living eternally infused with the power and righteousness found in Christ Jesus.

This essence of life flows freely like a well of water within which springs up into everlasting life- this life of power will be infused in the believer who rests in Christ.

03/17/2026

Through the process of getting to know God, we will come to know and understand who we are in Christ Jesus and the authority we have, thereby enabling us to live a life that is effective and meaningful, one that reflects Christ's nature in the present world, giving glory to God our Father, and loving others with a love that is unwavering, even as God has loved the world, and understanding that God is more concerned about our life in Christ than about the work we do for Him, because His power flows from our life, which is Christ in us. Selah

Walking in the fullness of the new life

by David Roberts

Giving honor and glory to our Father God, who in His abundant mercy and sovereign grace has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into a new and living kingdom. As it is written:

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” — Colossians 1:13–14

What a glorious reality this is for the believer. Salvation is not merely the forgiveness of past sins, nor is it simply an improvement of our former life. It is a divine transfer — a complete relocation of our spiritual citizenship. Once we were under the authority of darkness, bound by sin, separated from God, and unable to free ourselves from the corruption of this world. But through the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, God Himself has delivered us.

This word translated speaks of being transferred from one realm of authority into another. The believer has been moved from the rule of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of His love. This kingdom is not merely a future promise but a present spiritual reality in which we now live, move, and have our being in Christ.

As we grow in our understanding of our positioning in Christ Jesus, our perspective toward life must also grow deeper and more settled in this truth. Regardless of outward circumstances, trials, or the shifting conditions of this present world, our spiritual position remains secure. We are in the world, yet we are no longer of the world. Our identity is no longer defined by earthly systems, fleshly limitations, or past failures.

Through union with Christ, we are now participants in a new life — a life that flows from Him who is our very life. As the apostle Paul declares in Colossians 3:3–4, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

Therefore, the believer is called not merely to acknowledge this truth intellectually, but to embrace it fully in heart, mind, and daily walk. Our new identity must be accepted as a settled reality. We have been made new creations in Christ, and our lives are now anchored in Him.

Furthermore, the scriptures reveal that we are not only redeemed but also spiritually seated with Christ. As written in Ephesians 2:6, God “hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” This speaks of spiritual authority, fellowship, and union with the risen Lord.

To be seated with Christ means that our life is now rooted in heavenly realities rather than earthly limitations. It means that our perspective, our confidence, and our identity must be shaped by our union with Him. We are no longer striving to gain victory; we are learning to live from the victory that Christ has already secured.

Therefore, in light of this divine truth, we should fully accept the newness of life we now possess in Christ. Our thoughts, our desires, and our daily conduct should increasingly reflect the life of the One in whom we abide. As Christ lives in us and we remain established in Him, the Father is glorified through the expression of His Son in our lives.

This is the great mystery of the gospel — Christ in us, the hope of glory. ….Selah

The spirit of a Giant killer•••

Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear.......1 Samuel 17:34-35
David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
1 Samuel 17:37

David's unwavering trust in the anointing that guaranteed God's presence and ability rendered the enemy's identity and magnitude inconsequential, fostering unshakeable confidence and courage; likewise, what is the formidable challenge that defies God's ordained purpose and plan for your life? Like David, place your trust in God's anointing, for as His workmanship in Christ Jesus, you possess the heart of a champion and are more than a conqueror. Do not allow the challenges to undermine your faith; you are blessed and highly favored.

Ephesians 2 :4-6

The Rich Mercy of God——

“But God, who is rich in mercy…”

The phrase “But God” is one of the most hopeful transitions in all of Scripture. Just before this, Paul the Apostle explains that humanity was dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1). We were spiritually lifeless, unable to rescue ourselves.

Yet the story changes with these two words: But God.

God did not respond to humanity’s rebellion with abandonment. Instead, He responded with mercy. Mercy means God withholding the judgment we deserved. And Paul does not say God merely has mercy — he says God is rich in mercy, meaning it is abundant, overflowing, and inexhaustible.

Love That Acted While We Were Dead

“…for his great love wherewith he loved us…”

This love is not described as small or conditional. It is called great love.

What makes this love extraordinary is when it was given:

“Even when we were dead in sins…”

God did not wait for us to improve, repent perfectly, or become worthy. His love reached us in our spiritual death.

This reflects the same truth declared in Romans 5:8:

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Divine love initiates salvation. It is not earned; it is given.

Quickened Together With Christ——-

“…hath quickened us together with Christ…”

The word “quickened” means made alive. Spiritually speaking, salvation is not merely improvement — it is resurrection life.

When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, believers were spiritually united with Him in that victory.

This means:
• His life becomes our life
• His victory becomes our victory
• His righteousness becomes our standing before God

Paul inserts a powerful reminder:

“By grace ye are saved.”——

Grace means salvation is a gift, not a human achievement.

Raised Up Together———

“And hath raised us up together…”

This continues the resurrection theme.

Just as Christ was raised physically from the grave, believers are spiritually raised from death to new life. We are no longer defined by our past sin, condemnation, or separation from God.

The believer now lives in new spiritual reality.

This truth connects with 2 Corinthians 5:17:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Seated in Heavenly Places——

“…and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

This statement is astonishing.

It means the believer’s spiritual position is already secured in heaven- or should I say with clarity in the dwelling place with God. Though we still live on earth physically, our authority, identity, and citizenship are now heavenly.

To be seated implies:
• Rest (the work of salvation is finished)
• Authority (sharing in Christ’s victory)
• Security (our place with Him is established)

Christ Himself is seated at the right hand of God according to Hebrews 1:3, and believers share in that spiritual union with Him.
God is not waiting for us transition this life to share union with Christ

The Devotional Reality

For the believer, this passage reveals three profound truths:

1. We were dead — but God gave life.
2. We were separated — but God united us with Christ.
3. We were earthbound — but God gave us a heavenly position.

Salvation is not merely forgiveness; it is participation in Christ’s life, resurrection, and kingdom.

Pray this Prayer

“Lord, I thank You for Your rich mercy and great love. When I was dead in sin, You gave me life through Christ. Help me to live in the reality of this grace, remembering that my life is now hidden with Christ in heavenly places. Let my walk on earth reflect the position You have given me in heaven. Amen.”

Spending Time with God: The secret place of intimacy

A 30-Day Devotional on Intimacy, Listening, and Living from Fellowship

By David Roberts

DAY 30 — A LIFE HIDDEN WITH CHRIST

Scripture

“For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” — Colossians 3:3

The goal of fellowship is not visibility, but union. A life hidden with Christ is a life rooted in intimacy, identity, and security. When our life is hidden in Him, we are no longer defined by circumstances, opinions, or outcomes.

Hidden life speaks of rest and trust. We live from God’s approval rather than human validation. Fellowship anchors identity in Christ, producing humility and confidence.

This hidden life is not passive—it is powerful. Fruit flows naturally from union. Obedience becomes steady, faith becomes resilient, and peace becomes constant.

As this devotional journey concludes, the invitation remains: continue abiding. Fellowship is not a destination—it is a way of life.

Reflection
• Is my life rooted in Christ or external affirmation?
• What does it mean for my life to be hidden with Him?

Prayer
Lord Jesus, I choose a life hidden with You. Anchor my identity in Your presence and my security in Your love. Teach me to abide continually. Amen.

DAY 29 — LIVING FROM THE INNER MAN

Scripture

“That He would grant you… to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.” — Ephesians 3:16

Spiritual life flows from the inner man. When the inner life is neglected, outward activity becomes exhausting. God strengthens us inwardly so that our lives flow from communion rather than effort.

Time spent with God nourishes the inner man. It renews strength, restores clarity, and stabilizes faith. As the inner man is strengthened, external pressures lose their power.

Living from the inner man requires attentiveness. We learn to respond from spiritual strength rather than emotional reaction. Fellowship becomes the source of resilience and wisdom.

God desires believers who live inwardly anchored and outwardly fruitful. Strengthened from within, we reflect Christ consistently.

Reflection
• Is my inner man being nourished regularly?
• How does fellowship strengthen me inwardly?

Prayer
Father, strengthen my inner man through Your Spirit. Let my life flow from communion with You rather than outward pressure. Amen.

DAY 28 — FELLOWSHIP THAT SUSTAINS IN DIFFICULTY

Scripture

“But it is good for me to draw near to God.” — Psalm 73:28

Fellowship with God becomes especially vital during seasons of difficulty. Trials test where we draw strength. When fellowship is established, God’s presence becomes an anchor rather than a last resort.

Drawing near to God during hardship provides clarity and comfort. While circumstances may not change immediately, perspective does. God’s presence steadies the heart and renews hope.

Many withdraw from God during difficulty, yet Scripture calls us closer. Fellowship sustains faith, guards against bitterness, and preserves trust. God meets us in weakness, not distance.

Hard seasons deepen intimacy when we remain present with God. What is tested becomes strengthened through fellowship.

Reflection
• Where do I turn when difficulty arises?
• How has God sustained me through fellowship before?

Prayer
Lord, draw me near to You in every season. Let Your presence sustain me when life feels heavy. I trust You in difficulty. Amen.

DAY 27 — SPIRIT-LED DECISIONS

Scripture

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” — Romans 8:14

God desires to lead His children. Spirit-led living is not reserved for major life decisions—it applies to daily choices, conversations, and responses. Fellowship with God positions us to discern His guidance in practical ways.

The Spirit leads through peace, conviction, wisdom, and restraint. As intimacy deepens, discernment becomes clearer. Decisions are no longer driven by impulse or fear, but by inward assurance.

Spirit-led decisions require trust. God may guide us differently than expected, yet His leading always produces peace, even when the path is challenging. Fellowship nurtures confidence in His direction.

Learning to pause and seek the Spirit before acting transforms decision-making. Over time, discernment becomes instinctive, and obedience becomes joyful.

Reflection
• Do I invite the Spirit into daily decisions?
• How do I recognize His guidance in my life?

Prayer
Holy Spirit, lead me in every decision. Teach me to trust Your guidance and follow Your peace. I desire to live as one led by You. Amen.
