And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of Truth: whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:16-17
At that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. John 14:20
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5
If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7
And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine Own Name those Whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as we are. John 17:10-11
I know that we have discussed all of these verses several times before, but what a great stretch of Chapters in the Gospel of John, with all the power and glory of what was said by Jesus! Don't just read these verses, really stop and consider what Jesus has proclaimed! Jesus said that He is glorified in us and that we are the vessels that allow Him to receive His glory. Jesus said that it is God Who now keeps us, and if it is God Who is keeping us, we are kept, sealed and perfected without fear in His perfect love. As we have previously studied, we are preserved in Christ until the day that God destroys evil! God actually dwells within us, we are actually in Jesus right now, and Jesus actually is in us! Through Christ we are one with God! Because of this we will bare much fruit. The peace of these Truths, the joy that they proclaim, and the awesome power associated with them allow us to be as He is in this world. If you want to have some meat go and read John 14-17 and see just what Jesus has provided for us, and see what our Father can and should be doing through us! Greater is He that is within us than anything and everything that is in the world! There is no weapon that is formed against God that can prosper and we are now preserved in the greatness of His power! Today is the day of our freedom and victory in Christ and today is the day that He causes us to rejoice and be glad! Jesus has delivered us, He has called us, He has chosen us, He has glorified us, He has preserved us, He has sanctified us, He has perfected us, and He has given us life abundantly! Our victory is based on His victory and our power is His power that is within us, and His power that is in us is greater than we can ever imagine! The Truth of our unity with God through Jesus, has set us free to ever live to serve the Living God. Our bodies of sin have been destroyed and we have been raised up together and made to sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus! There is no more defeat for us, only victory, because now all things work together for us who love the Lord!
