Today's "Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin is a great reminder of just who WE are - IN HIM!
Where He Is
"Jesus answered and said unto him, 'If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him'" (John 14:23).
As Jesus goes on teaching in John chapter 14, He begins to talk about the Holy Spirit coming to us: Jesus and the Father, in the Person of the Holy Spirit, come to abide in us.
At present, Jesus literally - with His resurrected body - is seated at the right hand of the Father. Yet the Bible talks about "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
You see, the reason why Christ is in us is because the Holy Spirit is in us. The Holy Spirit said through Paul, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16).
And in Second Corinthians 6:16, we read, "…for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
We've never plumbed the depths of what this is really saying: God is dwelling in us!
Therefore, if God is dwelling in us, then that is where God is going to speak to us - where He is - in our hearts, or our spirits. God communicates with us through our spirits. Our spirit picks things up from the Holy Spirit and then passes them on to our mind by an inward intuition, or inward witness.
Confession: (Make your confession from John 14:23, First Corinthians 3:16, and Second Corinthians 6:16.)
When the Word of God promises us that HE will NEVER leave us or forsake us, THIS is what He means! Hebrew 13:5:As Jesus goes on teaching in John chapter 14, He begins to talk about the Holy Spirit coming to us: Jesus and the Father, in the Person of the Holy Spirit, come to abide in us.

Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”
Holy Spirit lives IN every born again believer! He is also within and upon, in power, those who have received the INFILLING, as in Acts 2 and throughout the Book of Acts! Spend this week meditating on who the Bible says YOU are - IN HIM! Then begin to act like it! There are people just waiting on YOUR ministry! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Shadow Step":
Shalom in Him!
