KEY SCRIPTURE:2Co 13:5 KJV “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”

A knowledge of who you are as a result of who you are related to has a way of boosting your confidence and a sense of importance very high. Our heavenly father’s presence in us is an antidote to worry, fear or discouragement. He lives in us through the Holy Spirit 1Co 3:16 KJV” Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”Dear one, please note that the Holy Spirit answers to the name of our Lord Jesus 2Co 3:17 KJV “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”.Our Lord Jesus, who is the king of kings and the creator of the Universe, lives in us; what a comforting knowledge! ( Revelation 19:16). Why would you ever worry if you know and are certain that that, this same Jesus who conquered Satan and death, actually lives in you?

Just consider what He said, Joh 16:33 KJV “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” He tells us that in this life we would surely face challenges or difficulties, yet we must be of good comfort. Why? Because He has overcome the world.The one who overcame lives in our hearts. He is in us as our very life and Lord. We can’t be less comfortable. Please take time to meditate on this fact.

Whenever we are tempted to worry or to be afraid, we must stop immediately and reflect on the essence and meaning of his presence in us. Think about the magnitude of power and glory in us. Please note that the Lord may speak audibly to you in times of difficulty, although He can do that, yet that is not His normal way of dealing with us. He would certainly speak to you through the scriptures we have kept in our hearts. Anytime a scripture comes to mind concerning a promise from God’s word, then know that it is our Lord Jesus speaking to you directly about His assurance of His presence and works in us. It is our corresponding acknowledgement of such scriptural truths that releases His power in us to do whatever His word talks about. God’s power is released first by believing what His word says and secondly by affirming it audibly ( 2 Corinthians 4:13)

THOUGHT: WE ARE A MILLION TIMES MIGHTIER WITHIN THAN WHATEVER GOES ON OUTSIDE
