Indwelling Spirit of God

'The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you' Romans 8:11 NLT

I love that Scripture!God Himself lives in the born again Christian. Man, if that doesn't get your horn honking, you may still be dead in your trespasses. Or, you may have lost focus on what really matters. Folks, this is a passing stage of His plan. Don't get 'hung up' on this world and it's ways. We aren't 'obligated' to do what our flesh tells us to do. Christians can actually have joy in a bad situation. Remember Paul singing praises to God while he was imprisoned? He had his eyes and heart set on what really matters, and it wasn't this world.

Think for a moment about the reality of being indwelt by the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. Allow this Scripture to impact your life! More importantly, if you have not experienced the reality of this Scripture take a moment to pray, seeking God to make this Scripture real to you. Stay focused and run the race with endurance.

  1. It totally is mind altering to me to realize that "THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS LIVING INSIDE OF ME"

    It is just incredible. People who confess to be CRISTIANS need to grasp the impact of Ro 8:9 & 11.and Eph 1:17 - 20
