The Key to Your Power as A Believer (Part 2)

He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.  John 14:17

 

The key to your power as a believer is the Spirit of God in your body!
 
As Charles Stanley wrote,
1.       The Holy Spirit is in you.
2.       The Holy Spirit is God.
3.       Therefore, God is in you.

If you believe in Jesus, GOD IS IN YOU.
Do you believe it?
· If you do, how does it affect how you act?
·  If it has no effect, then you don’t believe it.

How WOULD you act if you did believe it?
God.  In.  You.  Now.
Would you use your mind, or mouth, or hands, the way you do, if you know and believe that God is in you?

God.
Your Maker Master.

The One whom you will give an account on judgment day. 
The One you owe your life to today, right now.
The real God owns everything, as it is written,

“The earth is the LORD’S and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.”
“You are worthy oh Lord to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things and by Your will they exist and were created.”

Now, believing the word of God, and knowing the Spirit is in those who believe in Jesus, the most holy people on earth should be disciples of Jesus.  Set apart.  Devoted.  Fearless because of who’s in them.
Start now to acknowledge God in you, really respecting His presence. 

It’s impossible to do this and live a careless unholy life. 

1.       Act like God is God, and like His will is the only will that matters in your life.
2.       Act like He’s in the room, in your body.
3.       Act like your body is now His body.


What does He want you to do with your body?  He wants you to honor Him.
  • Imagine you honoring God with your body. 
  • Whatever you consider this honor, do it now. 
  • Do it all day. 
  • Do it everyday.
