GOD ALIVE IN YOU
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be fllled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
The Bible says, "...Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27). Christ in you means God alive and at work in you.
2 Corinthians 5:19 says, "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." It was God working in Christ as He walked the streets in Bible days doing those mighty miracles that He did.
Also, Colossians 1:19 says, "For it pleased the Father that in him (Christ) should all fulness dwell." When Jesus walked the earth, all of divinity was at home in Him. He was God alive walking and talking in a man's body. But that's not the end. The same God is in you now as He was in Christ. Hallelujah!
Having received the Holy Spirit, God lives in you now; you're His temple. Through you, He impacts your world. He brings sinners out of darkness into His marvellous light. You're His extension in the earth today.
Remember His words, "...I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (2 Corinthians 6:16 ). He's talking in you and walking in you today. Every time you're ministering to someone about Jesus, that's God at work and alive in you and through you.
It's the reason you must be faithful and diligent in soul winning because through you, the Father expresses His love and righteousness. He said in Mark 16:15, "...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Through you, He impacts this world with the glory of His divine presence, demonstrates the character of the Spirit, fills the earth with the knowledge of His glory, and rains righteousness upon the nations. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION: Everywhere I go, I go in and with the Father who lives permanently in me. Through me, He expresses His love and righteousness to others, for I'm His extension in the earth by Christ Jesus. Glory to God!
