"The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1).
The righteous are bold as a lion. This truth helps to unlock the mystery of our chronic, spiritual weakness and daily struggles to become Christlike.
What is that mystery?
It is a mystery that the devil, the foe of our soul, knows – and a truth that few Believers understand. If the righteous are bold as a lion, then it follows that purity produces power! What else follows? The corollary truth: If purity produces power, then sin produces weakness.
In light of this truth, what is the devil's strategy? He seeks to sidetrack us into as much contamination as he possibly can to render us powerless in the Kingdom of God. Sin brings shame, and shame produces timidity and fear.
WALKING IN THE FLESH AS CARNAL CHRISTIANS
If we lack power, we lack holiness. We may have received Christ's righteousness imputed to us at our salvation, but we are still walking in the flesh as carnal Christians. A lack of demonstrated power is a testimony to our carnality.
The Word tells us, "As He is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17).
IF WE ARE NOT:
Christlike – loving like Christ,
thinking like Christ,
doing the works of Christ, and
walking in our DESTINY like Christ – then we have a consecration problem.
