John 11:25-26
Yahshua said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes
in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in
Me will never die.”

John 14:6
Yahshua said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one
comes to the Father but through Me.”

Revelation 21:6
Then He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring
of the water of life without cost.”

God the Father has not given to us things, He has given us His Son. He has not given
us truth, He has given us His Son who is truth. He has not given us eternal life, He
has given us His Son who is eternal life. When we are born again by the Spirit we
receive the life of Christ into our beings. Truly it is said that old things pass away. All
things become new.

However much the church confesses that they have Christ, their words are hollow
and empty if they do not allow the life of Christ to be released. Most do not do so
because it requires a crucifixion first. Instead the church has adopted theologies that
proclaim that man is to attempt to imitate Christ. They are to look at the scriptures
and ask the question in every circumstance, “What would Jesus do?”

This is all wrong! Man cannot duplicate the actions of Christ. What folly and
frustration this is. It leads to burned out saints who grow weary of trying to do that
which is impossible for them to do. The church has lost the understanding that it is
Christ who must be released to do His works through us. The apostle Paul put it this
way:

Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

This is the process in its most basic form. We submit to the government of Yahweh
which will always lead to a crucifixion of our flesh. We lay down our soul life, so that
it is “no longer I who live.” The life of Christ is then released within us and He
accomplishes His works through us. Our life becomes a life of faith. We believe we
are one with Christ. We believe His life is in us. We believe that He will accomplish
