“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
Our focus is too often on our problems and situations and not on God. His Spirit has taken up His residency in us. Believers are the temple, the holy house and permanent dwelling place, of God Himself. Imagine how we would all live if we truly became more “God inside of us” conscious.
The Message Bible says: “You realize, don’t you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you?”
To be God-inside minded means that we know He dwells in us and He moves in us, and we look for His power in us in times of need. So many verses point out this awesome fact. “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4); “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:17); and yesterday’s verse, Ephesians 3:20: “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.”
These are simple statements yet absolute truth. This is the difference between believers and nonbelievers. What a difference it is.
Jesus lives in me. I am developing a God inside of me awareness in word and deed.
