Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.
There are 3 levels of the righteousness of God through faith in Christ Jesus that every child of God needs to be conscious of.
FIRST LEVEL, is the righteousness of God that is imputed onto you as a result of your believing with your heart in the Lord Jesus Christ. This righteousness that is imputed works in the faculties of your mind, will and emotions, dispelling fear, guilt, shame, inferiority and condemnation. Romans 10:10 reveals to us that with the heart man believes unto righteousness. And we have taught that the heart compromises of a mans spirit and his soul (mind, will and emotions) and believing is to think to be true. So this level of the working of righteousness works in you mind, your will and in your emotions as you hear, understand and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.
At this level your conscience is cleansed by the power of the gospel and activates in you a consciousness of God and His love for you, producing inner peace, assurance and confidence towards God Almighty. Suddenly you have an awareness that God is not angry at you. This gives you the confidence and boldness to approach God’s presence without condemnation, fear and guilt. This is a work that happens in your soul (your mind, will & emotions).
This is the righteousness that was imputed unto Abraham when the bible in Genesis 15:6 where it says “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Through Abrahams interaction with the plans and purposes of God and His discovering of all the good that God is and all the good that wanted to do for him, all of it being a working of his interactions with the word of God in his mental faculties, it produced in Abraham a good conscience toward God. He no longer feared God. The Apostle James put it this way in James 2:22 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.” Abraham believed and became God’s friend, this what the level of the imputed righteousness does for you.
SECOND LEVEL, is the righteousness of God that is imparted into you as a result of your faith in Christ Jesus. This righteousness is deposited into your human spirit giving you that intrinsic divine ability to do what is right in accordance with God’s statutes and judgements. This is what our opening verse of scripture from Ezekiel is talking about.
When God said through the prophet that “I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgements and do them.” This is the righteousness of God that is imparted into tour spirit at the new birth. It is a work that happens in your spirit that gives you a new nature and a new life, changing your human spirit into a divine one with the attributes of the Father.
This is a nature swap. This is the miracle of Christianity that makes a you a new creation. You become the righteousness of God in nature making you a partaker of God’s divine nature in reality over and beyond what your mind can compute. You can now naturally express what is right.
THIRD LEVEL, is the righteousness of God that is a divine empowerment to impose and enforce rightness.🤭 It has to do with preeminence and dominion. Preeminence and dominion over all things, and the power and authority to enforce it. This righteousness of God is a power; its not mental or physical natural strength. This righteousness is a demonstration and expression of the supernatural power of Gods nature. It is a combination of the working of the 1st and 2nd level of righteousness in unison to enforce the righteousness of God outside of ones self, i.e. your environment and things and beings that are in it.
It is the simultaneous display of expressions of power and authority in word and action propelled and generated from the divine quality of a mans spirit to enforce the righteousness of God to correct things that are outside of ones self. This righteousness of God is expressed through a demonstration of power with great authority. It’s when righteousness is expressed through your spirit, soul and body impacting things and beings around you and your environment.
This is and was the life and purpose of Jesus Christ when He walked in the streets of Israel; this is why He was the way He was then and is the way He is today. It is the calling of every child of God. It’s more than being nice, singing songs and gathering for religious festivals. It’s a life of demonstrating spiritual power, which is the righteousness of God. It’s a demonstration of the power of Gods nature. So, when something was not right in the environment or in the lives of others for example, Jesus Christ demonstrated the righteousness of God in power to correct it.
And for a Christian today, if something is not going right in your life, or in the lives of those around you and your environment, you’ve been called to demonstrate the righteousness of God in power to correct it! And there are tools that the scriptures have revealed to successfully accomplish this.
The key to the working of these is acknowledgement;
Philemon 1:6
That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
The acknowledgement of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus are activated through confession, and confession activates consciousness which leads to demonstration and expression. Start practicing this today by compiling a list of scriptures that reveal who you are in Christ and start a discipline of confessing these daily and begin enjoying the blessing of God’s working of righteousness working in and through you to bless not only yourself, but others around you and your environment.

Jeremiah 30:17
For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord
3. Pulling Down Strongholds Of The Mind.
We pull down every stronghold of the mind that has built up over time as a result of sustaining emotional wounds. We demolish every age old lie and every high thing opposing God’s word in my mind. Taking into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:4-6
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
