Living the same Christian life, day after day, is taking advantage of Jesus’ power-life; but, it isn’t growing and maturing in it. If you get it, keep it, live it, and then stop there, you will have freedom from the things the devil and the world are trying to trap you in. But, you won’t get the benefits of what Jesus wants you to have.

Freedom from bad things is wonderful; but, freedom to advance into the blessings, miracles, and gifts of God will still be missing. Letting Jesus remove all those wrong, bad, and evil things that have been hurting you is great. But, letting Jesus fill you with right, good, and righteous things is awesome! There is no limit to how victorious and successful you can go into more and more of the wonderful things Jesus has to offer.

Just like there are negative things you want Jesus to deliver you from, such as your struggles with life, there are also negative experiences and circumstances that you want Jesus to set you free from as well. However, God doesn’t just want to deliver you from life issues or these negative experiences and circumstances, He wants to replace them with positive, powerful, and wonderful things. John 10:10 (NIV) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (abundance).

Jesus isn’t going to take you through the process of maturing just so you can win over all the painful, harmful, and negative things in your life. He is mostly going to get your life filled with positive, happy, and joyous things that crowd out the painful, harmful, and negative things. In this study and prayer time, Jesus will be working on you setting superior goals, getting involved in God-sized, dynamic plans, learning how to win at life, and reaching some of the most incredible goals you have ever seen.
