This is no news flash but all of us stumble in many ways BUT if we do not stubble in what we say, we show and reveal the perfection of Christ within us. Speak has much to do with evidence of Christ within us. This context makes clear that the “stumbling” spoken of here is not any technical inaccuracy of speech, but rather refers to moral problems – like, dishonest, criticism, condemnation others, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. How easy it is for us, even as indwelt Christians, to say things that we devoutly wish only in moments later that we could retract.

The overall message of the Scriptures is that an indwelt believer should exercise the fullest potential of all that he is in Christ. To appropriate this, it takes a great deal of discipline – that of the disciplines of the Lord’s life within each believer. This discipline starts in our minds by appropriating the mind of Christ through the Spirit life, which lives and breathes in the Spiritual area of the trinity of man. Since our bodies are inundated with sin and our minds are damaged by this sin, it will take a completely different mind and discipline to eradicate it –
that of Christ very Life within us.

Without question the greatest event in all of history for God and man is the Incarnation – God, the infinite Creator, Sustainer, taking on human flesh, becoming a man upon this earth, died for us, crucified our old nature and placed His very life in the Bride of Christ – the church.

Most of the time, exchanged life workers do not apply the identity truths to the seven areas of life but primarily focus on the spiritual area. Because we are born into this fallen world as members of the fallen race, repentance and identification has become one of the most important responsibilities of our lives – particularly the discipler.

The church is in trouble! It is suffering from a serious case of “disillusionment of discipleship.” Many people today consider discipleship as “spiritual abuse.” The authenticity of true Christ as Life discipleship is rare.
