The Gift of a Calming Inner Presence

God has given me the greatest gift. He has come to live in and work in me. I’m standing on the living Word of In-You-Christianity!

Live in the In-You-Christianity of the New Testament:
* Let God shine in your heart (2 Corinthians 4:6), draw you near (John 6:44), and work in you (Philippians 2:13).
* Let Christ be formed in you (Galatians 4:19), live in you (Galatians 2:20), and be your inner hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).
* Let the Holy Spirit witness to your spirit (Romans 8:16), teach you (John 14:26), and lead you (Romans 8:14) from within you.

Receive the testimony of Jesus, not as the word of man, but as it is in truth, the word of God and let it effectively work in you (1 Thessalonians 2:13). Let Christ live in you and make you alive to the glorious reality of His presence (Romans 8:10).

What is happening within you is much more important and powerful than what is happening around you. Outer peace without inner peace is peaceless. The only lasting source of inner peace is In-You-Christianity–“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Open up and fully surrender your life to the risen Jesus so that He can freely work and live in your heart (Ephesians 3:17). Let Him keep you in perfect inner peace (Isaiah 26:3).

Jesus wants to be a spring of water in you welling up to eternal life (John 4:13-14). He wants to release His rivers of living water to flow from within you. (John 7:37-38).

Fan into flame the amazing gift of Christ’s presence in you (2 Timothy 1:6). Refuse to let your heart grow cold.

If Christ is living in you, He’s not there to be your copilot or a silent partner. He’s there to interact with you day and night. He’s in you to actively direct your life and align it to His will. If Christ lives in you, it is so He can release the gifts of the Spirit through you. He’s inside you to produce and manifest the fruit of the Spirit. He’s there to empower you. He’s in you to activate and direct your conscience and steer you ever closer to full surrender and obedience to Him.

Boldly open wide your heart to In-You-Christianity. Hungrily read and devour the Bible and let Christ, the living Word who works within its pages, read you like a book and reveal His presence and reality to you throughout each day. In-You-Christianity is the answer that you’ve been longing for.

God’s not playing dead so that preachers can talk about Him from their head. He’s alive and drawing ordinary people to Himself so they can experience Him in their heart. Christianity isn’t an organization that you belong to or a meeting that you attend. It’s “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
