CHRIST: GOD IN US

At this Time, when we celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus,

We contemplate Emanuel, God with us.

However, the clear teaching of the New testament

Is the reality of God IN US—the Kingdom of God IN US

The Spirit of God IN US.

The apostle Paul speaks of this Reality this way:

I have become its servant [the Church] by the commission God gave me

To present to you the Word of God IN ITS FULLNESS--

The MYSTERY that has been hidden for Ages and generations,

But is now disclosed to the Saints.

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles

The Glorious Riches of this MYSTERY,

WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY. (Colossians 1:25-27)

The only HOPE any of us has is Christ living IN AND THROUGH US.

That is the prayer of Christ Jesus:

Father, protect them by the Power of Your Name--

The Name You have given me--

So that they may be ONE as We are ONE. (John 17:13)

The whole point of Christ Jesus' coming

Was to Redeem a people for Himself—all who would believe,

And the result of that belief would be

That they would become ONE with Him

By the Power of His Spirit living IN AND THROUGH THEM,

As that is the ONLY WAY anyone could ever become ONE with God.

Christ Jesus and the Father are ONE because they are of ONE Spirit--

ALL in Heaven are ONE--of the ONE Spirit, God Almighty.

Listen to the apostle Paul:

Make every effort to keep the Unity of the Spirit

Through the bond of Peace.

THERE IS ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT--

Just as you were called to ONE HOPE when you were called--

ONE Lord, ONE Faith, ONE Baptism;

ONE God and Father of ALL and IN ALL. (Ephesians 4:3-6)

This MYSTERY and REALITY is the most Profound Reality in all that exists.

God Almighty offers EVERY PERSON His Spirit,

That they might become ONE with Him.

Listen to Christ Jesus:

He who OVERCOMES will inherit ALL THIS,

And I will be his God and he will be My son. (Revelation 21:7)

What is ALL THIS?

He Who was seated on the Throne said,

'I AM making EVERYTHING NEW!'

Then He said, 'Write this down,

For these words are Trustworthy and True.

He said to me: 'IT IS DONE.

I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.

TO HIM WHO IS THIRSTY

I will give to drink without cost from the Spring of The Water Of LIFE.

He who OVERCOMES will inherit ALL THIS,

And I will be his God and he will be My son. (Revelation 21:7)

What is this Water of LIFE?

It is the Infinite Supply of the Spirit of God,

Available to ALL WHO ARE THIRSTY,

And ONLY to those who are Thirsty.

ONLY to those who seek God with ALL THEIR HEART--

ONLY to those who love Him with ALL their Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength.

The ONLY ones able to OVERCOME this Wicked World ruled by Satan

Are those Enabled by the Spirit of God living IN AND THROUGH THEM.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the Churches.

To him who OVERCOMES,

I will give the RIGHT to eat from The Tree Of LIFE,

Which is in the Paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)

They OVERCAME him [Satan]

By the blood of the Lamb and the word of their Testimony;

They did not love their lives so much

As to shrink form death. (Revelation 12:11)

And they have OVERCOME (conquered) him [Satan]

By means of the blood of the Lamb

And by the Utterance of their Testimony,

For they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death--

Holding their lives CHEAP till they had to die [for their witnessing.]

(Revelation 12:11, AMP)

What should we Celebrate this Christmas?

The MAGNIFICENT PROVISION of God Almighty

Christ IN US, the ONLY way we can OVERCOME this Wicked World--

The ONLY way out of this Wicked World, ALIVE!

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
