Jesus Is Glorified In Us

"And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them." John 17:10

Jesus is actually glorified in you and I! If that doesn’t get an A-men from the choir, than nothing will! Stop and really allow the Holy Spirit to minister the glory of this Truth to you. The Holy Spirit fully understands and fully comprehends the power of this Truth and He knows how to reveal it to us in all of its fullness! We are taught in church from the very beginning of our salvation to think of God's magnificence, His glory, His omnipotence, His miraculous power, His Throne, Heaven and how marvelous it is! We sing songs about Heaven; we dream about Heaven in all of its glory. We sing, “I’ll fly away O glory, I’ll fly away.” Yet as glorious as Heaven is, it is not where the King of Kings receives His glory. Jesus receives His glory in you and I. Really grab hold of the fact that Jesus is glorified “in us!” To our Father we are the grandest place of all and in us He chooses to receive His praise and His glory. Even though this is what God has said, there are not many songs reflecting the magnificent Truth that Jesus receives His glory within us! We are that special to our Father. We are the vessels that glorify Him! Our Father is very mindful of man! We are a chosen generation and a royal priesthood, and we have been raised up together and have been made to sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior! We are joint-heirs with Jesus, the King of Kings, and in us is where He is glorified!

We are not praising our Father enough in church and in our fellowship regarding this Truth! We are not thankfully worshipping our Father for it and it is not being discussed enough. We need to begin to sing songs about it, teach our children about it, and boldly proclaim it from the rooftops: that through the power and Anointing of the Holy Spirit in our lives JESUS IS GLORFIED IN US!

When we understand that it is God within us doing the works, this is actually a very humbling thing. There is no arrogance in professing this, there is only victory, there is healing, there is hope, faith, power, love, and maturity. Our Father has given us such a special gift and purpose, and we have His Anointing empowering us to be fully used by Him! The least to the greatest in the Kingdom of God has this same purpose, to be a vessel that glorifies Jesus to the world! We are now one with God and He is eternally within all of us doing His works of righteousness and as the people of the world see God working through us, with power and demonstration of His Spirit, Jesus is glorified and the world knows that God has sent Him, so that we all might be saved! Democracy, the United Nations, united coalitions, sanctions, bombs, and war will not change the world, but Jesus being glorified through the perfect church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish will, A-men and A-men!
