His
Permanent Home
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"May
He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened
and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit
[Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. May Christ
through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His
permanent home) in your hearts..." (Eph. 3:16-17 AMP).
How does Christ actually dwell, settle down, and make His permanent home
in your heart? Through your faith.
That's what God wants to do: Make His permanent home in your heart! But
that's what Christians haven't allowed Him to do! (Remember: This
scripture was written to born-again, Spirit-filled Christians.)
Christians sing, "Come by here, Lord, come by here," implying that the
Lord's not here - but if we could just get Him to come by, He might do
something for us. And we sing, "Reach out and touch Jesus as He passes
by."
All of these sentiments are based on physical sense knowledge. I don't
have to reach out and touch the Lord, because He lives in me! And we
sing, "Just to have a touch, O Lord, from You." What do I want with
touches when I've got the Holy Spirit living inside me?
Trust God who already dwells within you! Learn to become
"God-inside-minded!"
Confession:
I am strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in my
inner man by the Holy Spirit indwelling my innermost being. Christ
actually dwells, settles down, abides, and makes His permanent home in
my heart!
