We Should Desire For Jesus To Be Within Us

"To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:" Galatians 1:16

When we read John 17:1, we see that Jesus prayed that our Father would glorify Him, so that He could in turn glorify God. “These Words spake Jesus and lifted up His eyes towards Heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify You.” Jesus wanted to be glorified by God, so that He could glorify God, and Paul wanted Jesus to be revealed within him, so that he might be able to preach the fullness of God. We cannot preach God without our Father enabling us to do so. We can’t serve Him, worship Him, we can’t do anything with Him, unless He first enables us with Himself to do so! This is the awesome Truth about our salvation; God has the desire and the ability to reveal Himself fully to us, so that we can be used fully by Him and the world will believe! “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23

Today is the Day of our Salvation, so today is the day that Jesus should be revealed within each of us, and through the power of Jesus within us the world will believe and be saved. Today Jesus is greater within us than anything that is within this world. Today we are new creatures in Christ and today we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us. Today there is no weapon that has been formed against us that can prosper and today we have been set free from all of the wages of sin that would hinder us from being fully used by our Father! Jesus is within us today. We are one with Him today, and since we are the full power and love of our Father can freely flow from us to a world that so desperately needs it!
