Put On Immortality
It is a subject which is becoming quite widespread and more and more people are beginning to engage it. I think the key to it is you cannot just be passive hoping that you are immortal. It says that the mortal puts on immortality. So there is a sense of “well, what do we do to put it on, or be clothed by immortality?” and that it requires our thinking to align with immortality. So, no fear in our thinking, no alignment to aging and death as if inevitability, no alignment to time running out. All the negatives, you know, we have to think of.
You cannot embrace immortality without thinking about the effects of death because death is overcome with life, it is swallowed up in life. So we have got to actually address what is our thinking which needs to change, which has been aligned to death or the inevitability of it, because most of us have been brought up with that inevitability. And in Christian circles, death is seen as a promotion because you get promoted to get the good stuff. We have got to break that mindset and make that mindset disconnected from death so that we can actually embrace, ” why does God want me to be immortal? God has made me immortal, and how can I clothe myself with his intention for me?”
Draw from the Right Source
Which means, how do I draw from the right source, because most people die because they run out of life. It is almost like you are born with an amount of life within a container of your body. There is an amount of life that, as you get older, you are running down that amount of life until eventually there is no life left and you die because you are only drawing from the natural source of life that is within your mortal body.
But if you are drawing from an energy source which is beyond that energy that you have just within your body, and you are drinking from living water as an energy source which is a fountain which is supplying you eternal life, then you are not going to run out of energy – because it is a constant supply of energy which is not that you had when you were born. So we have got to change the source to draw on immortal energy, the energy of God, the life of God, the spirit, all sorts of ways of looking at it. Drinking living water so that rivers of living water are flowing in us.
It is like we were born with a tank and we are drinking from the tank until there is no tank left. Nothing in the tank and the tank is empty, we die. But if we continually be infilled with a flow of life which is coming from beyond the tank, then our tank never needs to actually run out. But it is the source, and we have got to turn to the source. Jesus said, “Anyone who is thirsty, come to me and drink.” Think of thirst being running out of life. We need to turn to a source of eternal life.
506. The Mindset of Immortality | Secret to an Abundant Life
Abundant Life
And immortality is not just ‘not dying’. It is living a quality of life which is the abundant life that Jesus promised. I do not think most people would want to live forever in the state that they are currently in. They do not want that, but they do not know how to do it.
And there are changes. We need to find the abundance of life so that that life is a joy to live and we do not want to die because this life is so good. Why would I want to miss out on more of this life? But for a lot of people, the quality of their life is not there. Therefore they see life as something where “eventually, I am going to get a promotion and then I will get the good stuff when I die” because they do not have the abundance now.
So we need to ensure that we have the abundance of life which is love and joy and peace and everything that God intends us to have, and not be robbed, killed or destroyed by the lack of it, which is how the enemy will deceive us into believing that we will inevitably die. So there is a sense where our mind needs to be renewed to a different way of thinking about it, but our being needs to be focused on drawing from a different source.
So we are actively clothing ourselves in immortality or drinking from the right source because we know that we do not have what it takes within our own self to maintain life forever. There is a limitation on what we can draw from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, if you like. We need to draw from the tree of life, and that source, the tree of life, will never run out.
So there is stuff to think about, you know, in changing thinking, turning our attention to a different source, and then drinking from that source.
