The Supernatural Life Through Us
July 9, 2017
There is only one person who has ever lived the Christian life. It’s not you and it’s not Adrian. It is Jesus.
Why? Because no matter where you live your life as a Christian, it is not you; it is Christ living in you. And therefore it will not be a superficial life. It will be a supernatural life.
Major Ian Thomas said, “Jesus never said could. He can. He always said He would. We need to let Him.” We need to let the Lord Jesus Christ live His life in us.
What Jesus began to do in His life on earth, Jesus wants to continue to do through every child of God. Acts 5:12a says, “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people.” Actually, in the Greek language this reads, “through the hands of the Apostles signs and wonders were done.”
Jesus Christ wants to live His life through you. I am not just playing with words. Paul said, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
