WALK IT OUT!

Esp. 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

We are the light of the World. God is that light we reflect so we should walk in that power and authority.

Colossians 2:9-10

Complete = perfection

We have been made perfect in Christ. We have all the fullness of God in us.
When we realize that we are perfect in Christ and walk in His fullness, we can walk it out. But we can't walk out who we are not.
You have probably heard people tell you that one day you'll be perfect in Christ. This is not the New Testament gospel. The New Testament gospel says you are seated with Christ, you are complete, righteous, Now Walk It Out!
One of our armors in Christ is the breastplate of righteousness. The breastplate represents the protection of your heart. We must continually guard our hearts. There are just things I don't do or say to keep my heart protected. We live what is in our hearts.
So how do walk out our righteousness?
It's about your heart and how you see yourself. We can't see ourselves as unworthy, undeserving, useless, unclean or any other way than how God sees us. We must see ourselves as precious in the eyes of God, as righteous, worthy, deserving, valuable, clean and any other way that God sees us. We must stand in the completion of Jesus. When we have this consciousness of who we are in Christ, then we walk in a way that let's Him lead us.

Hebrews 10:1-2

Jesus was the perfect sacrifice so we have no need of feeling guilty about the things we have done in the past, present or future. If we have any sense of guilt, then we have not totally believed what Jesus has done for us. When you understand that God sees you as not guilty, then there is no need to feel that God is going to judge and penalize you.

Colossians 3:15 (AMP)

And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your heats [deciding and settling with finalty all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].

Once we are at peace with whatever situation, then we can trust God and believe He will lead us in the direction we should go.
