How To Experience Your Oneness With Christ

Would the real you please stand up? Are you a sinner or a saint? Do you have an old man inside of you, a new man, or both? Do you still have a sinful nature or do you now have a righteous nature or do you have a combination of both?

Do you struggle with understanding the true nature of being born-again and being made one with Christ? "How To Experience Your Oneness With Christ" will lead you on a journey of discovering the abundant life Jesus’ promised in John 10:10. A true believer in Christ not only longs for this abundant life, but should be experiencing it.

In a Bible study format, each chapter introduces you to a concept or principle related to your oneness with Christ. After the introduction, there are a number of questions along with the specific Scriptures of where to find the answers. Looking up the answers for yourself will help you see the truths in context. There are meaningful illustrations and graphics to help you grasp the concepts. At the end of each chapter there is a prayer of thanksgiving and worship to engage you with the Lord.

This book (workbook) can help you in two spiritual ways.



1st: The book will help you understand the spiritual dynamics and mechanics of your oneness with Christ - which most Christians don’t really understand.

2nd: The book will help you actually experience your oneness with Christ, which most Christians of any age have never really experienced.



If you can experience these two things, you will have a foundation for success in your Christian walk and your family and church will be an exciting thing because of it.

 Success in the Christian Life springs from or flows from the dynamic spiritual relationship between the believer and Jesus Christ.....It is a relationship issue!!!

Many people know they are truly saved (or born-again as we say) and committed to the Lord, but many of them are hungering and thirsting for more? And they are not really sure what is missing.

 They ask themselves:


  • Am I not committed enough?

  • Do I not spend enough time in the Word?

  • Do I not spend enough time in prayer?
  • Do I not share the gospel with enough people?

  • Do I not give enough?

  • And on and on.....



If you are one of these people, only you know the answers to each of these questions, but you could be doing all of these things as much as possible and still feel kind of spiritually dry and empty on the inside or spiritually incomplete or you just feel like you lack that spiritual dynamic you see in the lives of New Testament Christians or you don’t feel the power of the Holy Spirit working in you and through you.

I know this to be true, because this was my experience and my feelings for the first 8 years after I received Christ and became a born-again believer. The struggles I went through to be like Christ (as a new Christian) were the most intense thing I have ever experienced. I was convinced I was never going to experience the victorious Christian life that I saw in the New Testament. In fact at one point, as my struggles reached a climax, I quit the ministry and gave up.

 Shortly after that the Lord finally pulled back the curtains and let me see that what I was hungering and thirsting for was that oneness with Christ, which was already mine, but I had not known it or understand it.

This revelation of my oneness with Christ came into my spirit at 2:00am one morning while I was sleeping. As the Holy Spirit sent this truth into my inner-being, I woke up praising God and for the first time in my life, my spirit was worshiping Jesus Christ. Spiritual worship was reverberating from within me outwardly and upward to God and I was filled with overwhelming joy and peace.
 I did not speak in any kind of tongues. I did not fall into some kind of trance. I simply experienced true spiritual worship and became totally conscious of my spiritual oneness with Christ. My spirit was emanating worship to God and God was responding back with real spiritual fellowship.

For the first time I experienced what that verse means in John 4:24 where Jesus said that: "God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." This is only possible through the conscious reality of our oneness with Jesus Christ. All the other kinds of worship I had practiced and experienced had been mostly a mental experience even though I had been completely sincere. My spirit had never been engaged before.



Needless to say, my Christian life has been different ever since. After I came into this conscious reality of my oneness with Christ I immediately read through the entire Bible again as quickly as possible. I wanted to find and study every verse of Scripture, every example, every illustration, and every application that relates to every believer’s oneness with Christ.

 Then I organized the Scriptures, the examples, the illustrations, and the applications I found into principles and expressed these principles in the chapters of this book in a study format or workbook format.

Romans 6 is the foundational Biblical text for the book, but there are Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation on the concept of our oneness with Christ. I did not share in the book that special experience where I came into that conscious reality of my oneness with Christ, because that is not the important thing or the thing that others could strive after. Many Christians have had special times with the Lord, that are completely unique, and cannot be reproduced by others. We are not to seek the experiences of others. We are to seek the Lord and His will and His fellowship. How God deals with each of us is up to Him. So, what I share in the book is how to understand your oneness with Christ, which includes:

  • The mechanics of it

  • The dynamics of it

  • The what, where, when, and how that enables you to realize and experience the fullness of your oneness with Christ.



This conscious oneness with the Lord is already the birthright of every Christian through our salvation experience. There is nothing any Christian has to do to experience it, except realize it and understand it and glory in it. Therefore, it is the burden of my heart and the desire of my soul to help any and every Christian who is hungering and thirsting for these truths to experience them.



It will be so exciting if you can get a copy of this book and study these awesome and liberating truths, which lead to the abundant life promised in John 10:10. Jesus said that when we really know the truth (experientially), the truth will set us free. Paul said it is “Christ In Us” that is our hope of glory. That glory already dwells in us through Jesus Christ!



So, whether you are a new Christian or have been a child of God for many years, "How To Experience Your Oneness With Christ" will enrich your walk with the Lord. Through your studies, your delight in the Lord and His holiness (which is also your holiness) will deepen your faith as you come to understand your true nature in Christ. Your spiritual hunger can be satisfied. So, order your copy of "How To Experience Your Oneness With Christ" now and dive into the spiritual feast.
