Be Conscious That He Lives In You
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages
and from generations, but now is made manifest to
his saints: To whom God would make known what
is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory
(Colossians 1:26-27).
In 1 Corinthians 3:16, the Bible says, “Know ye
not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” Here, the Apostle
Paul wasn’t talking about some imaginations or a fable,
but a reality: You’re the temple of God and the Spirit
of God lives in you. Who is this awesome, wonderful
Holy Spirit that lives in you?
In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah described
Him as the angel of God’s presence: “In all their
affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his
presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he
redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them
all the days of old” (Isaiah 63:9). The word, “Angel”
means, “Messenger.” The Holy Spirit is the messenger
or the conveyor of the presence and blessings of God.
He’s the One that takes God’s presence from place
to place. God Almighty is on His throne, but the Holy
Spirit takes His presence and His power wherever
God wants it.
Think about the fact that the conveyor of
eternal verities lives in you! This means no defeat; no
frustration; no lack; no failure, but excellence and glory
all the way! We read in our opening scripture, “Christ
in you, the hope of glory.” In other words, the Holy
Spirit living in you means glory, excellence, strength,
victory, joy, peace and prosperity in your life.
Now that you know this truth, affirm it always,
because the power of the Word of God works through
knowledge and proclamation. Until and unless you live
with the consciousness that Christ is alive in you, you’ll
live an ordinary life! Christ lives in you. He lives in your
spirit, soul, and body. He lives in every fibre of your
being—in every bone of your body, and every cell of
your blood. He is your life. Blessed be God!
Confession
God has made me His operational headquarters; therefore, I’m not ordinary.
I’m a God-carrying vessel, a conveyor of eternal verities;
I can do all things. Christ in me means glory, excellence, and victory in life.
