Life | Love | Freedom

sit | walk | stand

Sit ~ To rest with the torso vertical and the body supported on the buttocks.

• God has forgiven you.
• God accepts & loves you just as you are.
• God has given you purpose (to know Him).
• God has given you meaning (to bear His fruit).
• God has given you His life, Christ life.
• God has given you the mind of Christ.
• God has given you the Holy Spirit to lead you into all Truth.
• God has given you the Kingdom of God and it's within you.
• God has given you a burden that's light and a yoke that fits perfectly.
• God has given you "everything you need for life & godliness".

Sit ~ rest in the continuing and completed work of God in your life. God used the jawbone of an ass (judges 15)...maybe He can use yours as well ;)

Walk ~ live consciously aware of what you're sitting on.

• Quit trying to earn what you've already been given.
• Get to know Him intimately...that's what our eternity is, there's nothing more important.
• Allow His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentileness and self-control to overflow from your life to the lives of others...don't try to produce it on your own...branch doesn't produce it bears.
• Become like those you hang around (God, Christ, Holy Spirit) by association. Let em' rub off on you.
• Use the mind of Christ & the Holy Spirit to figure things out instead of your intellect.
• Live as a citizen and ambassador of the Kingdom of God not as a citizen America, Canada, etc.
• rest abide

Walk ~ ever seen someone "walk" that's sitting? In the physical realm it's impossible. Welcome to the kingdom of God.

Stand ~ against all that endeavors to distract, disuade and detach you from what you're sitting on.

• Use the already victorious defensive weapons He's given you to remain in the victory you already have. (eph 6:10-18)

Stand ~ Don't be distracted into going on the offensive, trying to conquer what He's already conquered and given to you as a gift.

my liberal paraphrase of Watchmen Nee's book "Sit, Walk, Stand".
