Jesus Is Now Within Us

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God: because many false prophets are gone into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God." 1 John 4:1-2

This verse teaches us that every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, not that Christ did come, not that He came, but that He is come, right now, present tense. For example this is a study guide, do you see what is being said here? Every spirit that proclaims Jesus is come in the flesh, every spirit that says Jesus is here right now, in me, in you, and in every believer, is of God. This verse does not mean that we are to confess that Jesus came in the flesh, but that He is in our flesh. Think about it, how many false teachers have you heard that confess that Jesus was here? Half the world celebrates Christmas and even goes to church on Christmas Eve, yet they have never been empowered to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, even though they will confess that He was born. After all of the verses that we have read about our unity with Christ, you now can see what this truth is saying. If a person believes and confesses that Jesus Christ is in them, if they confess that they are the Temples of God, right now, they are of God, and every spirit that does not confess their unity with Christ right now, is not of God. 1 John 4:3.

The only way that we will ever believe that we are glorified with the same glory as Jesus; the only way that we will ever accept our perfection and power in Christ; the only way we will believe that we are as He is in this world, is to believe and confess that Jesus is in us this day. And the only way to do this, is by having the Holy Ghost within us, confessing it! “Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” 1 Corinthians 12:3

This is the missing power in the church today. People confess Jesus came in the flesh. People confess that Jesus is the Son of God, but very few people confess and believe that Jesus is in them right now and that they have actually become one with Him. This is why our Father is using me to share so many scriptures with you. Unless our Father shows us this truth, we will never be able to accept it and live in the glory of it. Some will have this truth stolen right away when it is first heard, some will accept it for a moment, but as soon as the church says they are wrong and a little persecution arises because of it, they will abandon it. Some will loose this Truth because of the cares of this world. But some will accept it, and produce a return of 100, 60, or 30 fold! Jesus is coming back for a glorious and powerful Church, so the Truth of Jesus being in us will be accepted and walked in by the Church and the world will believe. Our Father is not a man that He should lie and God will not be mocked!

1 John 4:1-2 are a great test to use when confronted with religion; people are always arguing their religion. Don’t argue religion, it’s a total waste of time! Especially when people get off on their denomination, Christ is not divided. Don’t argue, just allow the Holy Ghost to use you to share our Father's Truth’s in love. Let God’s Word stand on its own. And here is what you can do if you find yourself in a discussion with someone who does want to argue religion, ask the person to describe their relationship with Jesus. If they never bring up that He is in them, and that they are in Him, or that they are united or one with Him, than you know what is going on. The Holy Ghost clearly tells us what to do; out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths will speak. If they don’t answer according to 1 John 4:1-2, start sharing these scriptures, share about how you were indwelled with the Holy Spirit and how you are one with Jesus. The sower sows the Word and God’s Word will not fall void to the earth, it will accomplish what He intended for it to do!

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that I sin the world." 1 John 4:4

"In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him." 1 John 4:9

Jesus is now in us and we are now in Him. The Holy Ghost is now in us, and we are all now in God. This is our peace, it is our joy, and this unity is our protection. No weapon formed against The Trinity shall prosper, and thus, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We are sealed until the day of our redemption, and we have been given the Anointing of God, so that we may operate in the full power of His Word. And the Word is what is in abundance in our hearts! We have the Spirit of Christ Who is for us and through Him nothing can be against us! Be blessed in God’s love and try the spirits with the power of God’s love. Serve all those whom God leads into your life and through the love and the power of Christ that is within you, you will never be ashamed!
