Communion with Christ

Constant, Conscious

Christians are to live in constant, conscious communion with Christ. Yes, Jesus Christ literally lives within you if you have put your faith in Him as your personal Savior.

The heart of Christian living is found in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul wrote, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

Christ lives in you (Col. 1:27). That is a fact that is true of every believer.

Jesus prayed for you and me when He prayed, “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory that You gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and You in Me” (John 17:20-23).

“I in them and You in Me.” Because Jesus Christ lives in you, His strength works in and through you to bring glory to Him. Learn to trust Him moment by moment living in you.

Jesus living in us is like the glove on your hand. I may say to my glove, “Pick up that Bible.” That glove cannot do a thing. But when I slip that glove on my hand it is a perfect fit. Then when I say, “Pick up the Bible” it has perfect control. Jesus Christ living in you is a perfect fit. “Christ in you” is the astonishing reality that He clothes Himself with us and uses you and me for His eternal purposes. As we make ourselves available to the indwelling Christ, He molds us and uses us as He so pleases for His glory.

Jesus said, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me” (John 15:4).

It is essential that we have this confidence in Jesus Christ who will in His divine power, make us partakers of His work, His life, His indwelling. What you and I cannot do, He does in and through us.

Christ our Redeemer is the Almighty One, who is everlasting and unchangeable, and it is He who has chosen to indwell you and me with His holy presence. He effected real cleansing and a putting away of sin, so that He can enter into our inmost being and dwell there.

He alone is the One who can reach your heart and fill it with the power of His eternal Word. Moreover, He can maintain without any shadow of turning in never ceasing fashion His life with you.

“Christ in you,” Christ living in you by faith, has the power to make your circumstances, no matter how difficult, a heavenly discipline, to serve His eternal purposes for His glory and your good.

Christ in us, abiding in us, gives us new life, and fills us with Himself. As we make ourselves available to Him, He makes our inner life the proof of His almighty power. The apostle Paul said, “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.” Yes, you can have a constant, conscious communion with Christ in a living experiential heart knowledge that comes from faith and fellowship with Him.

Christ living within us works in us every day to lift us up and enables us to live as those who are seated with Him in the heavenlies.Selah!

Is the Best Way To

Prayer in the morning is the best way to start your day. Prayer before bed is the best way to end your day. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

And Putting it Into Practice.

Wisdom is having knowledge and putting it into practice. The best way to get knowledge is to have The Holy Spirit tutor you as you read the Bible Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

If I Am

The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never. I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever. Henry W. Baker

Appreciates and Loves Me More Than

I am grateful Jehovah answered my prayers and Snowball is okay. Yesterday was a rough one for him

I am grateful there were banana’s on mark down at the store. I made a lot of cookies with them today

I am grateful The Holy Spirit taught me that the difference between Snowball and mom is that Snowball appreciates and loves me more than the relative I am taking care of. Isn’t that disgusting that an animal is more appreciative and loving than a mother who claims to be a Christian?

So We can Have Fresh

I am grateful that a store employee informed me I could call in my order and then come and pick it up.

I am grateful that the chicken and potato pancakes turned out so good

I am grateful that The Holy Spirit encouraged me to bring in the herbs so we can have fresh herbs all winter long

It was Easy to Complete

I am grateful the scooters power lasted for two loads of dirt. The dirt being wet was very heavy.

I am grateful it was easy to complete building two raised gardens. Usually it takes hours with the fitting.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit suggested I take the computer upstairs to work on my writing. After our morning loving session, Snowball fell asleep on the couch so I could quietly work beside him. He likes to sleep in my sight.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit guided me to a site on a social media site with relaxing flute music to download.

I am grateful The Holy Spirit educated me there was nothing wrong with my idiotic drama queen mother. She was crying because there was blood in her poo. The problem was she drank a cup full of juice that was supposed to be diluted before she drank it. Because she drank a full cup of pure cherry juice she had the diarrhea which she kept on insisting was blood.

Not Only from The

“When the light of divine providence has once shone upon a godly man, he is then relieved and set free not only from the extreme anxiety and fear that were pressing him before but from every care … Ignorance of providence is the ultimate misery; the highest blessedness lies in knowing it … It gives incredible freedom from worry about the future.” John Calvin
