God in Me... Me in God

 Scripture:

'All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. ' 1 John 4:15

Observation:

This simple verse tells us that those who declare that Jesus is the Son of God, which is us, have God living in them and they live in God. It is the answer to Jesus request of His Father in John 17 that His people be one with the Father as He was one with the Father. 

Application:

What does it look like to live in God and to have God living in us? How would I live differently if I truly believed I lived in God and God lived in me? I must believe that God lives in me and I must demonstrate that to the world. I believe the world must know God and if God lives in us, we must introduce Him to the world through our lives. We need to be a visual representation of the Father to the world around us just like Jesus was.

Prayer:

Father, I long to walk as one with You. I want to know You deeper and more. I want to know what You are thinking. I want to know what You are feeling. I want You to live in me and through me. I want to be one with You as Jesus was. Help me to understand this better and to walk with You at new and higher levels. Let my life bring You glory. Flow through me today here in Turkey. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in this nation. Come Holy Spirit and breathe on this nation.

Yours,

Jeff
