Sadly, many genuine CHILDREN of GOD in Christ in this World do not take ADVANTAGE of the spiritual CHRIST that is in them. This is because they do not know or they are ignore of the fact that one of the critical reasons of JESUS CHRIST coming to this World or to the Earth is to have access into their lives spiritually as the HOLY SPIRIT to dwell (live) and walk through them in this World. So sad!
The Bible reveals that JESUS CHRIST when He was close to the end of His earthly ministry said to His Apostles then as He is saying to us in Him today thus:
Philip said unto Him, LORD, show us the FATHER and it suffices us.
JESUS said unto him, have I been so long time with you and yet has you not KNOWN ME, Philip? He that has SEEN ME has SEEN the FATHER. And how says you then, show us the FATHER?
Believe you not that I am IN the Father and the Father IN Me? The Words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself. But the Father that DWELLS (lives) in ME, He does the works.
Believe Me that I am IN the Father and Father IN Me. Or else believe Me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He (or she) that believes in Me, the works that I DO shall he (she) do also and GREATER works than these shall he (or she) DO. Because I go unto My Father.
And whatsoever you shall ASK in My NAME that will I do, that the Father may be GLORIFIED in the Son.
If you shall ASK any thing in My NAME, I will do it.
If you LOVE ME, keep My Commandments.
And I will pray the Father and He shall GIVE you another Comforter, that He may ABIDE with you forever.
Even the SPIRIT of TRUTH. Whom the World cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him. But you KNOW HIM. For He DWELL with you (physically) and shall BE in you (spiritually).
I will not LEAVE you comfortless. I will COME to you.
Yet a little while and the World SEES ME (physically) no more. But you SEE ME (spiritually hereafter). Because I LIVE, you shall LIVE also.
At the day you shall KNOW that I am IN MY FATHER and YOU IN ME and I IN YOU.
He (or she) that has MY Commandments and keeps them, He (or she) it is that LOVES ME. And he (or she) that LOVES ME shall be LOVED of My Father and I will LOVE him (or her) and will MANIFEST Myself to him (or her). (John 14:8-21; Colossians 3:1-4).
Again, many genuine CHILDREN of GOD in Christ do not know that the FIRST promise or gift given to them by GOD in this World at their salvation moment was the HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST supernaturally and spiritually coming into them to DWELL (live) and WALK through them on Earth. So sad!
The Bible reveals thus:
CHRIST has REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the LAW, being MADE a curse for us. For it is written, cursed us everyone that hangs on a tree.
That the BLESSING of ABRAHAM might COME on the GENTILES (we not naturally from the tribes of Israel) through JESUS CHRIST. That we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the SPIRIT through FAITH.
(Galatians 3:13,14; Romans 8:1,2).
Do you get it?
The HOLY SPIRIT is the first, fundamental, foundational PROMISE or GIFT God gives to anyone that comes to Him through Christ in this World or you should FIRST SEEK from GOD.
That is why JESUS CHRIST says that above food, drink, clothes, etc:
...But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD (the spiritual presence and power of the Holy Spirit) and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you...True! (Matthew 6:24-34; Luke 12:20,21; Luke 11:9-13).
I will LOVE you to prayerfully and thoughtfully follow me in the next couple of days as the HOLY SPIRIT (spiritual CHRIST) in me unveil some of the critical ADVANTAGES of the spiritual CHRIST in you and me in this World.
However, for today, I will be informing you that the spiritual CHRIST (Holy Spirit), who came into you on your genuine salvation moment, spiritually CONSECRATED (sealed and separated) you exclusively to GOD in this World.
What does that truly mean? It means you are no longer your own, but of God.
Therefore, the Bible reveals that if anyone have not the SPIRIT of CHRIST in him or her, he or she is not of His.
So then they that are in the FLESH (natural) cannot PLEASE GOD.
But you are not in FLESH (natural), but in the SPIRIT (supernatural), if so be that the SPIRIT of GOD dwell (lives) in YOU. Now if any MAN (or woman) have not the SPIRIT of CHRIST, he (or she) is none of His.
And if CHRIST be in YOU, the (Human) BODY is DEAD because of SIN. But the (Human) SPIRIT is LIFE because of righteousness.
But if the SPIRIT of HIM (God) that raised JESUS from the dead DWELLS (lives) in YOU, He that raised up CHRIST from the dead shall also QUICKEN your mortal (natural) BODIES by His SPIRIT that DWELLS (lives) in YOU. Halleluyah!
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to live after the flesh.
For if you LIVE after the FLESH, you shall DIE. But if you through the SPIRIT (of CHRIST within you) do mortify (subdue) the deeds (desires) of the Body, you shall LIVE. (Romans 8:8-13).
Why is it so that anyone who have not the SPIRIT of CHRISTiwithin him (or her) is not of His?
Because JESUS CHRIST came physically to the Earth to PAY the PRICE that will give Him access to DWELL (live) within you and I and to WALK through you and I spiritually in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
But he (or she) that is JOINED unto the LORD (Jesus Christ) is ONE SPIRIT (that is, your Human spirit and the Holy Spirit of God become one within you).
Flee FORNICATION. Every SIN that a man (or a woman) does is WITHOUT the (Human) BODY. But he (or she) that commits fornication SINS against his (or she) own (Human) BODY.
What? Know you not that your (Human) BODY is the TEMPLE (spiritual house) of the HOLY GHOST which is in YOU, which you have of GOD and you are not your OWN?
For you are BOUGHT with a PRICE. Therefore glorify GOD in your (Human) BODY and in your (Human) SPIRIT), which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:17-20; 1 Corinthians 3:16-23; 1 Peter 2:5).
Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:
I BESEECH (beg) you therefore, brethren (brothers and sisters in the Lord), by the MERCIES of GOD, that you PRESENT (humbly submit) your BODIES as a LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable SERVICE (to God).
And be not CONFORMED (patterned) to this WORLD. But be TRANSFORMED (changed) by the RENEWING (changing) of your MIND (with the Word of God by the help of the SPIRIT of GOD within you), that you may PROVE (know convincingly) what is that good, acceptable and PERFECT WILL of GOD (for you in Christ par time and situation in this World). (Romans 12:1,2).
The Bible further counsels thus:
Be not UNEQUALLY (intimately) yoked (friendly related) together with UNBELIEVERS. For what FELLOWSHIP has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what COMMUNION has light with darkness?
And what CONCORD has Christ with Belial? Or what PART(nership) has he (or she) that believes with an infidel?
And what AGREEMENT has the TEMPLE of GOD with idols (demons)? For you are the TEMPLE of the LIVING GOD As God has said, I will DWELL (live) in them and WALK in them and I will be their God and they shall be My People.
Wherefore COME OUT from among them and be you SEPARATE, says the Lord and TOUCH NOT the unclean thing and I will RECEIVE you.
And will be a FATHER unto you and you shall be My SONS and DAUGHTERS, says the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
You are already spiritually CONSECRATED (sealed and separated) to GOD by the spiritual CHRIST (Holy Spirit) in you. (2 Corinthians 1:21,22; Ephesians 1:12-14).
Now, that you know you are spiritually CONSECRATED (sealed and separated) to GOD by the spiritual CHRIST (Holy Spirit) in you, the Bible counsels you and I thus:
1. And GRIEVE not the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD (spiritual CHRIST), whereby you are SEALED unto the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30-32).
2. QUENCH not the (HOLY) SPIRIT (of the spiritual CHRIST within YOU). (1Thessalonians 5:19).
How do you grieve and quench the HOLY SPIRIT of the spiritual CHRIST within YOU?
1. Simply by consciously and consistently THINKING sinfully without genuine and prompt repentance. (Romans 7:25; Philippians 4:8,9; Ephesians 4:17-32).
2. Simply by consciously and consistently SPEAKING sinfully without genuine and prompt repentance. (Matthew 12:24-37; Romans 10:10; Ephesians 4:17-32).
3. Simply by consciously and consistently LIVING sinfully without genuine and prompt repentance . (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Romans 12:1,2; Ephesians 4:17-32).
Now, the Bible reveals that the physical JESUS CHRIST, who lived and walked on Earth physically is the same HOLY SPIRIT (spiritual JESUS CHRIST) you and I are CONSECRATED (sealed and separated) with unto GOD. He is the one dwelling (living) and waking through you and I spiritually in this World today. True!
Therefore, the Bible reveals thus:
Now the LORD (Jesus Christ) is that SPIRIT. And where the SPIRIT of the LORD is, there is LIBERTY (freedom).
(2 Corinthians 3:17; John 8:36; Matthew 12:27; 1 Peter 1:9-12).
Therefore, the Bible reveals that:
...As He (physical CHRIST JESUS) is (consecrated unto GOD), so are we in this World. (1 John 4:17).
Do you get it?
JESUS CHRIST, who is consecrated unto GOD by GOD Himself as His one and only HIGH PRIEST comes into YOU at your genuine salvation moment to be consecrated unto GOD as well as His Holy PRIEST in this World. (Revelation 5:9,10; 1 Peter 2:9,10).
With that in mind, the Bible requests thus:
Seeing then that WE (who are consecrated unto GOD with the spiritual CHRIST within us) have a great HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the HEAVENS, JESUS the Son of God, let US hold fast our profession.
For WE have not an HIGH PRIEST which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities. But was in ALL points TEMPTED like as WE are, yet without SIN.
Let US therefore COME BOLDLY unto the THRONE of GRACE, that WE may obtain MERCY and find GRACE to help in time of need. Halelluyah! God is Good! (Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 10).
Do you get it?
1. Be BOLD in Christ's righteousness (consecration) in and on you to come to GOD and He will be BOLD to come to you and meet your spiritual and physical needs in Christ in this World.
2. Be BOLD in holiness (maintaining Christ's righteousness in and on you) to come to GOD and He will be BOLD to come to you and meet your spiritual and physical needs in Christ in this World.
(Proverbs 28:1; James 4:6-10; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 Peter 1:13-25).
You have been given by GOD the CHOICE to make and DECISION to take in this World. (Joshua 24:15; Deuteronomy 30:19,20).
God bless you.
