You Hail From Above
You Hail From Above
“And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world”
(John 8:23)
The most sublime and profound communication ever to proceed from the mouth of anyone came from the lips of Jesus. The Jews in His day couldn’t comprehend the wisdom and audacity with which He spoke, hence stumbled at His words. That’s because Jesus communicated with a spiritual language while they were men and women of the senses.
Jesus knew His life didn’t come from Mary, because He was the Word of God made flesh. Conscious of that reality, He could say with boldness that He was not of this world. Now, the Bible says as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). If you’re born again, you’re no longer an ordinary person; you hail from above and have the same indestructible life as Jesus.
The Bible “being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). You’ve been born again of that same living Word, which came from heaven, which means you too can declare like Jesus, “I am from above!” Live with this consciousness; and it will change everything about you and bring a supernatural perspective to your life! Don’t think like the rest of the world; yes, you may look like them physically, but the life in you is from heaven.
Speak a different language; the language of the Kingdom that you’re from. Refuse to speak sickness, disease, lack and failure. They’re not part of your heavenly kingdom. Carry this consciousness to work, school and wherever you go. When you open your mouth to speak, others may think you’re out of your mind or being boastful (like they thought of Jesus) but that shouldn’t change your confession of who you are: you’re from above!
Confession
I’m not of this world; therefore I’m not subject to the circumstances and rudiments of this earthly realm. I have the overcoming, indestructible, unconquerable life of God in me, and I walk with this consciousness today,
glory to God!
