When we are born again unto the Kingdom, we are instantly changed. We are complete in Him (Col 2:10).
The rest of the tests in life has to do with testing how firm we are in Christ. Every attack that comes our way is to test our identity. It seeks to knock us off the ground that we are standing on.
This is why the Bible talks about standing firm and remaining immovable. By God's design, we were created to be a flourishing tree. We naturally produce fruit, for we are blessed.
The only work we need to do is to stand firm on the ground of who we are in Christ. If the enemy can create doubts through the circumstances we face, he wins the battle.
He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous. - Psalm 1:3 (TPT)
As a flourishing tree by God's default, there is no dry season. Only religion teaches you about dry and winter seasons of life. You never run dry and you never go through winter if you stand firm despite the circumstances.
The only way for us to stand firm is in Psalm 1:2 - 'His passion is to remain true to the Word of “I AM,” meditating day and night on the true revelation of light.'
I love the supernatural, the prophetic and the miracles. However these are not going to empower you to stand firm. It has to be the Word of God. If your passion is after miracles, you will be knocked out from the ground that God has put you on.
The Word is Christ and the Word reveals Christ. When you read the Word, you are reading who you are. Because as He is, so are you in this world. To know how to stand firm in all tests of life, we need to be deeply rooted in our identity in Christ.
Every test in life is to test how rooted you are. Therefore, we always win when we simply stand firm.
