If you have discovered that you are dead, and it is Christ's life that is growing in you, please share your experience, and how His presence has ended your striving. Has He overcome things in your life that you could not?
PS, Me wanting to see God save people has to die as well, so that His will to save people can live in me.
My desire "to see Him" needs to be replaced by His desire for me "to see Him"...that way there is One Will that rules all.....Let His will be d…
May The Holy Spirit continue to be the revealer and teacher of Christ in you. May He gain more and more of the ground in your heart that old "self-Nature" used to occupy. Man cannot teach you like the Holy Spirit can, and as you pursue "the mystery…
Hi Mary Ann -as I read your quote above of Romans 8:l0, the Holy Spirit spoke to me to read the scripture following verse l0. Verses ll to 25 open up a whole new revelation of God's intent and purpose. Any comments?
It did happen to you! It happened to all who received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour! Jesus spoke in the old testament saying, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.'' He also said "I want you to have a wide open heaven"…

- About Myself
- I was an on fire Christian for many years, but eventually burned out, and never found the pure victory that was promised in the bible. At 40, I admitted defeat to God, who was happy to hear that I finally reached this point. He revealed to me that the reason... that I am dead, in Christ, and that Christ is my new life, in me. Since then, I have found the victory promised...I am a new creation, the old has passed away.

- Dear Brother Ryan
Thank you for taking time and explain about the cross centered life. I think it was Charles Spurgeon who said "The crown-bearers in heaven were the cross-bearers below here." That is true. But the sad part is that the church is missing the message of the cross at large.
Bro even in my own life, it is a great struggle to crucify the self. Sometimes I find it very hard to put God in all. Yet God has been gracious to me in living for HIm. I am a pastor of 2 small churches here in Hyderabad, India. I preach regularly about selfless life we need to live for Jesus. You know Most of the times people don't like it. Yet I need to teach it in love.
It is a pleasure to know many things from you brother. I am longing for people like you who can encourage spiritually
I would like to ask you Brother - How do you implement this message of cross in day to day family life. There are many expectations from the wife and children. If the family is not crucified then the ministry will be disturbed. Can I have your personal email ID brother so that I can share some personal issues and take your help
In His cross

- Hai Ryan,
I am glad to know that Galatians 2:20 is working powerfully in your life. Yes, We need to be crucified so that Christ who laid His life for us may live in and through our lives.
Though you are not a pastor but I am happy to know that God is using you. You know being as a pastor here in Hyderabad I can say that ministry among the idol worshipers is tough. I need to be crucified to be used by God.
Can you share with me your experience of crucifying in self cost you in different ways?
Please pray for our ministry. We need your prayer support.

- Hi Ryan! It took me many years to fully believe that the new creation is only The Lord from heaven, heavenly. I thought that I was being fixed up, made new, without realizing that God intended to place His Son Self in me to BE the new creation BRANCHMAN. Christ all and in all - Pat crucified and buried with Him. He IS my resurrected new born self How awesome our LORD. We are free to be nothing to His all being.
I Corinthian l5:45-47 says it all! The first (race) man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. The first (race) man is of the earth, earthy: the second (race) man IS the Lord from heaven; As is the earthy, such are the also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly."
