How to transfer

The Supplied Life Devotional for November 30


How to transfer


"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4
Stop yourself and open wholly to the Lord. You cannot do anything to change yourself, but you are connected to the source of power, to the Triune God, to the name of Jesus, to the Spirit of God who casts out demons. You are one with that Spirit. Stay one with Christ, hold Him as the Head, stay with your spirit, believe the truth, and stand with the Body. This is how to have a transfer. It is to stop ourself and open to the Lord and contact Him. 

We have been interpreting our own life. We have been doing the living. We have lived to ourselves, and we are a subjective mess — deceived and filled with demonic activity. Now we need to disassociate ourself from the enemy. And this enemy is not merely an objective enemy. It is a subjective enemy enmeshed with our soul, possessing us with our own state of mind and our own moods. You have to disassociate yourself from your mood, from your own feeling. The enemy hates this word. Acting on this word will deliver us all. 

The best kind of prayer to deliver us from this subjective state is to exercise our spirit and draw a line. On this side of the line, speak boldly to the enemy, "You fallen angel, you devil, you demons, I have been enmeshed with you. I have thought your thoughts, I have believed your feelings. You have caused me to be shut up to myself. But this day, I am drawing a separating line between you and me. I declare war with the weapons of my warfare that are mighty through God. My real person is Christ. It is no longer I. I have been crucified with Christ. Now Christ lives in me. I am regenerated in my spirit. The truth is mine and I stand one with the members of the Body." Take these four pillars and you will overthrow the stronghold of self. You will drive out every subjective state that keeps you in bondage to self. The transfer will be there.

Only one Black Friday offers eternal savings.

Total Forgiveness in Christ Jesus

The Principle Applied

The law and the secret, then, is that we must come into action in relation to every fragment of truth, put our foot down upon everything that is presented to us as our inheritance in Christ. That will begin with the forgiveness of sins. The very first point of our inheritance in fellowship with Christ is the forgiveness of sins. Put your foot down upon that; it is yours. God has secured it in Christ for you. You have not to plead with God to forgive you. You have not to wrestle with God for the forgiveness of sin. If you have come to the place where you recognise the need of forgiveness, the consciousness that you are a sinner, there is no need to plead with God to forgive you. God has in Christ forgiven you all your sins-"having forgiven us all our trespasses" (Col. 2:13). God has done it in Christ, but the enjoyment of it requires the putting of your foot down upon it in faith, and saying: Lord, I honour you in this matter; You have said that forgiveness of sins is secured for me in Christ; I believe that and take it. By faith you put your foot down upon it. Then do not from that point go away and wonder if you are forgiven. Go on as being forgiven, and refuse every retaliation of the enemy to say that it is not true.

Partnership with Christ

Chapter 5 - The Secret and Law of Attaining Unto God's End

Reading: Josh. 1:1-11.

For we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end. (Heb. 3:14).

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it... Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (Heb. 4:1,11).

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. (Heb. 5:1).

A greater Grace

What we need is to be humbled, which means to be dependent upon and available to Jesus Christ who is God. Humility is not a "pious virtue." Humility is recognizing that in me dwells no good thing, and that I need the Lord Jesus Christ every hour. Just tell Him, "Lord Jesus, I need You this morning. I need You this afternoon. I need You in the middle of the afternoon. I need You Jesus in my relationship with my associates, I need You Jesus in my relationship with my spouse. Lord Jesus Christ, I need You. Apart from You, Lord Jesus, I can do nothing." This is humility. Humility is dependence upon and availabilty to God in Christ Jesus.

A greater grace

The Assurance that Christ is in you

“Test yourselves whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves; or do you not recognize your- selves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you fail the test", 2 Corinthians 13:5
The significance of this testing and proving is that we should be able to answer yes to the following: “Do you not recognize yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?” Do you know that the Lord Jesus Himself is now living inside of you? Do you have that assurance? Can you positively testify, “Yes, Christ is in me!”
If you can confess that Jesus Christ lives in you, you have passed the test. You have determined your condition before God with full assurance. That assurance comes to you in three ways: by the written Word of God, by your definite act of receiving Him, and by the Spirit witnessing with your spirit. It is this assurance that now becomes the solid foundation of your Christian life and fills your daily life with hope and meaning.

Thank You, Lord, Your Word is true, for “he who has the Son has life!” I praise You for coming into me — to be my life, to be my everything, and to abide in You forever.
