He Lives In Me!

The sweet Psalmist of Israel said, " The secret of the LORD is with them that Fear Him; and he will show them His Covenant." -Psalm 25:14
One of the greatest truths in the New Covenant I have come to know is the Indwelling Power of the Holy Spirit.
In the Gospel John chapter 14, Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you....Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
It should be the goal of every Christian that Christ be manifested in Me. Apostle Paul says in Galatians 4:19 that he travails like a mother giving birth until Christ be formed in You.

In the old testament the manifestations of God was External manifestations In the old testament where you see the "Angel of the LORD", most commentators say that's the Pre-Incarnate Christ. And when you began to see Christ in every line of scripture, the bible will begin to come alive to us.If you have time, check out these three passages Genesis 18, Exodus 3, and Daniel 3." And ask the Holy Spirit to Unveil to you the Work and appearances of Christ in the Old Testament. We see that in the Old Testament the manifestation of Christ is outside like in a pillar of cloud ,burning bush, or as a Angel of the LORD but in the New Testament, the manifestation is not out their, its in our lives! Apostle Paul says in Colossians 1:27-"
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Hallelujah! Thanks Be to God! This is a mystery that was not even revealed to Moses, King David, and everyone else in the Old testament. Thats the greatest Gift, Christ In me the Hope of Glory! Not in my strength, but in His Strength.
How can we lay hold of this Truth? GIVE PLACE TO THE KING IN OUR LIVES!
Have a heart like this, " Whatever you want, Change it
Speak a word and I will do it
You want a snack, I'll go get it!" lol :)
I cant even began to fathom what God is able to do if each and everyone on of us as a community lay hold of this simple truth!
