God lives in me.



When you realize that your “new life” invited Christ to live inside of you, you are accessing the impossible.

“On that day you will realize that I am in the father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” John 14:20 (NIV)

“Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can’t believe that, believe what you see—these works. The person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I’ve been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I’ll do it. That’s how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I’ll do.” John 14:11-14 (MESSAGE)

“I mean it.”

To realize that Christ really does mean “Whatever you ask, I’ll do,” is to assert the confidence of The Holy spirit inside of you. Even the disciples, who had been walking with Christ for some time, had to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them after Jesus went to be with the father. They had to realize that though they couldn’t see him any longer, He now lived inside of them.

And He lives inside of me. So my desires become His desires, and His desires are my desire. So when I ask for things in His name, it is done.

What is takes is both the realization and the reminder that He is living inside of me. The Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit are at work inside of me. I can be about The Father’s business just like Jesus because through the Holy Spirit it has become plainly known to me. And in the Father’s business nothing is impossible. In the Father’s business there is still greater things to be done than the world has seen, because greater is The Father than anything in the world.

So ask today.

“Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’  And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’  I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.” Luke 11:5-8

Access HE who lives inside of you today. Have “shameless audacity” to believe that He can do anything. And because He is inside of you, you can do anything, you can believe for anything, in the name of Jesus, you can be anything. You can go anywhere.

 “I have been crucified with Christ and “I” no longer live but Christ lives in me.”

And the life I live in Him is extraordinary. And in Him and through Him all things that seem impossible become possible.
