YOU CAN BE SPIRIT AND LIFE
05/09/24 08:51
God is so much with us in this life that that He is woven into our being. God is not somewhere else. Not restricted to churches and not absent from us until there is a manifestation of the Spirit. Such manifestations are expressions of what already is: The trinity in us. Because of this you have the potential to flourish in the moment and the season.
IN YOU AND WITH YOU
Christ is with you always, as is our Father and Holy Spirit. When we believe in Christ the trinity make their home in us. This is the key to the healing of one’s life and the ability to be a river of living water because we are one with God. Make sure your Gospel is Christ’s Gospel because a bent gospel makes for a crippled you. In the real Jesus and his real gospel your spirit will be alive and free.
Our reconciliation with God is the core of our being and the source an increasingly ‘whole’ life. Advancing into the glory of our real personhood is the effect of the living out of Christ our life.

Myk Habets observes that, “The resurrection [of Christ] has the effect of initiating and achieving the adoption of women and men, a central theme in any doctrine of theosis [participating in God’s life] .. Adoption is more biblically termed sonship through Christ (Rom 8.15, 23; Gal 3.26, 4.5–7; Eph 1.5). Accordingly, our human nature is now set within the Father-Son relationship. Through faith in Christ and union with him we share brotherhood with him and experience in him the Fatherhood of God, and in and through him we share in the Spirit of the living God.”(1) It is essential to live in the Spirit to be a spirited person.
‘When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory’ COL 3.4 NIV.
This is a lived union with God in the Every Day. It’s something you have. Not something you earn or must conjure up. Christ has come in you, which is the meaning of the Lord’s Table and the testimony of the Eucharist. Don’t settle for a non-christ and a sub-christian gospel.
