God Inside You
“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB)
Take a moment now to close your eyes and place a hand on your chest to feel the heart beating.
Be conscious of how this mortal body is the house of the omnipotent, omnipresent Holy Spirit.
Somewhere inside you, the Spirit of God sits enthroned, and His life-giving power flows inside you like mighty rivers.
“Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.” But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.” (John 7:37-39 WEB)
In the past, men and women had to go the well to draw water for drinking.
There is a thirst for natural water, but the spirit also thirsts for God.
We were all created with a longing for eternity in our hearts.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 WEB)
What we actually desire is eternal life, with the quality of life that God Himself lives by: total shalom peace. Just that many people cannot put a description to that deep longing they feel inside.
“Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation; neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”” (Luke 17:20-21 WEB)
While man builds his kingdom with buildings and structures made of stones, metals, wood, and inanimate things, God builds His kingdom in His people.
Each believer is a living stone that makes up the ever-growing temple of God that rises to Heaven.
So much power, wisdom, and life is flowing inside your spirit. Read God’s word to know and believe what belongs to you in Christ. Just reach in and draw some out in Jesus’ name. Let the power that raised Jesus from the dead also affect your body and every part of your life!
