DIVINE MATHEMATICS
"“Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.”"
“It is no longer I, but Christ in me.”
(Galatians 2:20)
Christ in you is divinely well, always at His best, has uninterrupted contact with the Father, and is therefore an invincible conqueror in all situations.
Faith is your and my decisive identification with Him, with will, thought, and feeling.
But note that it begins with a decision of the will!
My identification is a conscious choice.
On God’s part it is an accomplished fact that I, with all that I am in myself, all that I have, all that I have done and am doing, am crucified, dead and buried with Christ, i.e. FINITO!
I must choose to daily reckon with and remain in this decisive fact regardless of my experiences of prosperity or adversity, success or failure, my feelings and thoughts, what I have done or not done.
In other words it means constant “de-identification” from all that I am and can do in myself and identification with all that Christ is and can do in me.
“I” with all my own feelings, thoughts and experiences no longer applies.
“I” as an independent person is counted out.
I exist only in union with Christ.
It is He who lives His divine, supernatural life in me.
The only thing/the only One that matters now is Christ.
He must be “revealed” – He must become visible in my daily life.
Then my real self will also become visible in glory together with Him.
To count only with Him is divine mathematics!
