"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the
Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18). We become what we observe! The focus of our
attention spreads its influence all through our lives. What we behold with our
spiritual eyes obsesses us—it takes over! Paul chose to be obsessed with
Christ; the Savior became the sole object of his thinking, his preaching, his
doctrine. "For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ,
and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2). He kept his eyes on the Head of the
body, and not on the problems in the body.

God's desire for us is that we be clothed with Christ's presence. Do you want
victory over sin and deliverance from all the power of the enemy? Then
diligently pray for a manifestation of Christ's presence. If you are serious
about it, his loving eyes will melt you and bring you to a place of brokenness
and contrition.

That same tender presence of the Lord will become the very heart and life of
your soul. You will not want to leave his presence. You will lean on his arm
and all fear will go, replaced by perfect peace and rest. You can face sin and
Satan clothed in the glorious power of his presence. God's Word promises, "He
that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before
my Father, and before his angels" (Revelation 3:5).

The church goes into the last days as "a woman clothed with the sun..."
(Revelation12:1). This is Christ, our white raiment! We have put on Christ and
are abiding in His presence, above all principalities and powers.

It really is not complicated. In fact, it can be summed up in four words: STAY
CLOSE TO JESUS! Live in his presence and by faith take your seat beside him in
heavenly places. Behold him standing at the right hand of the Father on your
behalf and nothing can hinder you. You will be above it all and, like Stephen,
you will behold him in heaven (see Acts 7:56).
