He who dwells…

He who dwells,

• Lives

• Stays

• Abides

In the secret place

• Hidden

• Covered

• Contained

• Captured

Of the Most High, shall abide

• Dwell

• Live

Under the shadow (covering) of the Almighty

Psalms 91:1

In Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

We have our being,

We have our life, our breath, direction, peace and guidance by the Comforter.

To say that is one thing, standing on it through good times, bad times, ups

and downs, with, or without. Even if you have pain in your body or not, do you

trust in the Lord with all that you are, with all that you have and with all

your desires. Proverbs 3:5

For IN HIM (trust in, rely on, desperately cling to) you need to live and

breathe. For without the Person of Jesus and the relationship with Him, you can

do nothing of yourself.

Colossians 3:3; and our life is hidden with Christ in God. Or IN Christ with

God.

Ephesians 2:6; says raised us up TOGETHER and made us sit TOGETHER in heavenly

places IN Christ Jesus.

 

• In Him

We are COMPLETELY HIDDEN IN Christ. Why do you think the evil one tries to show

you your faults? If he can get you to get your eyes off of Jesus and onto

yourself, then he can get you on the treadmill of condemnation. See the evil

one knows we are hidden in Christ, he tries to pull us out from under the shadow of the Almighty.

the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10

God the Father doesn’t even see us in a sense, He sees us IN Jesus our

sacrifice, substitute, love and life itself.

Jesus came to show us the Father.

Jesus loves the Father so dearly He prayed that we would be one with Him as

THEY are one. John 10:30

A paramount saying of Jesus is as follows in John 14:20…”at that day (the day

of Pentecost) you will know that I am IN My Father, and you IN Me and I IN you”.

And again in John 17:21…”that they may be one, as you Father, are IN Me, and

I IN You; that they also may be one IN Us.

The example of the tender love of the Father towards the Son and the tender

Love of the Son towards the Father. Is THE greatest gift They could have ever

Given us. But then Their great love for us They sent us the Spirit of Life,

Wisdom, and Love. All I can say is INCREDIBLE.

The other day the Lord called me His son His daughter. I did not realize what

He was trying to show me. But upon further meditation He showed me as my wife

And I are two different spirits, yet we are one flesh. So likewise we need to

See ourselves as one with God IN Christ, because we are of the same spirit

(That same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us). 

And members of the same body (bride of Christ).

 

God’s perfect will for our life can be summed up in this phrase:

Being IN Him (Jesus) is our destination.

Entering into the Holy of Holies where the Glory of the Lord is manifest.

Passing through the cross at Passover we were buried IN His death and raised

again IN His Life (where there is deliverance, health, and wealth)

Colossians 3:3,

and onto the day of Pentecost for the baptism into His power by the

infilling of His Spirit. Now we can walk as He walked, dying to self, only going and doing and saying what the Father says do. John 5:19

In this lifestyle we then are IN Him and non of us, the Father is then glorified in us.

Paul said in Galatians 2:20. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;

yet not I but Christ IN me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God…”

Not by our faith, but by the faith of the Son of God. See nothing when we are

truly IN Him is of our own strength. It is all of Him when we can enter into

Him totally.

In Him is the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and we are complete IN HIM, who

Is the head…buried with Him in baptism, in which we also were raised with HIM

through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead…and we

who were dead have been made alive together with Him. Colossians 2:9

How God sees us

How God Sees Us

Acts 10:38

• How God anointed us

• With the Holy Spirit

• And with Power

Who went about doing good, and healing all who were (past tense) oppressed by

the devil.

Mark 16:20

And we (the bride of Christ) went forth, and preached everywhere. The Lord

working with us, confirming the word with signs following,

• Cast out devils

• Speak with new tongues

• Take up serpents (to do away with)

• No deadly drink shall harm us

• Lay hands on the sick and they WILL recover

Genesis 1:26, Psalms 8:6

To have dominion over ALL the works of Gods hands.

Jesus said

• ALL authority 

• In Heaven, and on Earth

• Has been given to Me

In light of that

• You go in My authority

• You go in My power of attorney

And I will go with you

• Confirming your words with signs following Mark 16:20

• As long as your words are My words

II Chronicals16:9

The eyes of the Lord go to and fro through out the whole earth, to show Himself

strong on behalf of those whose hearts are pure towards Him.

Romans 4:18

• Who against hope

• Believed in hope

Romans 4:20

• We who stagger not at the promises of God

• Through unbelief (in our hearts)

• But we are strong in faith or you could say we are strong in courage

Romans 4:17

• How God, Frank, Vicki and all who want, hunger and thirst

• Call those things which be not

• As though they are, light be, light is

Isaiah 55:11

• My words shall not return to me void

Romans 4:21

• We are fully convinced and persuaded

• That what HE promised

• He is also able to perform

Galatians 5:6

• Now all this works through love

• Faith or courage hangs off of love

God told Joshua three times in four verses to be strong and of good courage.

Courage in Gods eyes is the same as faith. How can I make a statement like that?

WatchGL

Courage isn’t the absence of fear. Courage is doing what you know to be right,

In spite of the fear.

God did not tell Joshua be strong and full of faith. However, God sees faith as

courage, they are one and the same.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. If faith and courage weren’t the

same He would have told Joshua otherwise.

Everything that pertains to life and godliness has been given us.

II Peter 1:3

Let us now walk in the boldness and power of the Holy Spirit with all patience,

compassion and love for all manner of men that our Father in heaven will be

glorified by our lives.
