Such a commitment of the being to God puts one in the place, where just as God supplies
Health to the spirit and health to the soul, he trusts God to supply health to his body.

Divine healing is the removal by the power of God of the disease that has come upon the body, but the divine health is to live day by day and hour by hour in touch with God so that the life of God flows into the body, just as the life of God flows into the mind or flows into the spirit.

A Christian is a subject of continuous, abiding health. And the secret of life in communion with God, the Spirit of God, is received into the being, into the soul, into the spirit.

Jesus gave us an example of how perfectly the Spirit of God radiates not only from the spirit or from the mind, but from the body also. The transfiguration was a demonstration of the Spirit of God from within the man radiating out through his person, until the illumination radiated through his clothes, and his clothes became white and glistening, and his face shone as the light. It was the radiation of God through is flesh.

The Christian who really have the God-life within are the Body of Christ in the world, and through that Body of Christ all the ministry of Jesus is operative.

The nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are the divine equipment of God by which the Church, His Body, is forever to continue to do the works of Jesus.

As God lived in the body and operated through the man Jesus, so the man on the throne, Jesus, operates through His body, the church, in the world. Even as Jesus Himself was the representative of God the Father, so also the church is the representative of Christ.

The Christian with Christ in him, the Holy Spirit, is greater than any other power in the world. All other natural and evil powers are less than the power of God; even Satan himself is a lesser power.

Man with God in him is greater than Satan. That is the reason that God says to the believer, he shall cast out devils. “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” 1 John 4:4.

A true Christian is a ruler; he is in the place of dominion, the place of authority, even as Jesus was.

All power was committed to Jesus by God, in the same manner; Jesus commits the same power to us through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus taught us to close the mind, to close the heart, to close the being against all that is evil; to live with an openness to God only, so that the sunlight of God shines in, the glory radiance of God shine in, but everything that is dark is shut out.

Jesus said “Take heed how you hear” Luke 8:18, not what you hear. One cannot help what he hears, but he can take heed how he hears. When it is something offensive to the Spirit and the knowledge of God, shut the doors of the nature against it, and it will not touch you.

Jesus said “I said ye are gods” John 10:34. The believer lives as God in the world, dominating sin, evil and sickness. It is with the attitude of gods in the world that Jesus wants the believer to live.

By the God within we cast out or expel from the being that which is not God-like. If you find within your heart a thought of sin or selfishness, by the exercise of the Spirit of God within you, you cast that thing out as unworthy of a child of God, and you put it away from you.

When sickness or the suggestion of sickness is present with us, we must cast it out as evil; it is not of God. Exercise your dominion over it, put it away. It is not honoring to Jesus Christ that sickness should possess us.

Evil is real. The devil is real. He was a real angel. Pride changed his nature. God is real. The power of God within the heart changes the nature until we are new men in Christ Jesus, new creatures in Christ Jesus.

The power of God, the Holy Spirit, is the Spirit of dominion. It makes one a god. It makes one not subject to the forces of the world, or the flesh, or the devil. 1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God”

That wicked one toucheth him not” 1 John 5:18. When the Spirit of God radiated from Jesus, I wonder how close it was possible for the devil to come near him. It was impossible for the devil to come near him, and I feel sure Satan talked to Jesus from a safe distance.

The complaint of the devil concerning Job was: “Hast thou not made a hedge about him?” Job 1:10. The devil was not able to get through that hedge to touch the man.
The radiation of the Spirit of God around the Lord Jesus was His hedge of protection.

The Spirit of God radiates from the believer because of the indwelling Holy Spirit and make him untouchable by evil forces. The Spirit of God radiates from him as long as his faith in God is active. Because, we are kept by the power of God through faith.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION

My God and Father, in Jesus Name I come to You. Take me as I am. Make me what I ought to be, in spirit, soul, and in body. Give me power to do right, to think right, to speak right, to act right. Wash me in the blood of Jesus that I may be free from sin, known and unknown. Help me to manifest You in a perfect spirit, a holy mind, and sickles body. Amen.

THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST

His presence with us, His guiding counsel, His transforming grace, His soul absorbing presence, which in the ultimate commands all the intensity of our nature, is for us.

Paul give us a clear vision of the presence and power of Christ with us in the fourth chapter of Ephesians “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” Eph 4:13

This shows the ultimate purpose of Christ as Savior, of Christ as a companion, of Christ as the indweller.

Christ’s presence with us is not just as an outward companion, but an indwelling, divine force, revolutionizing our nature and making us like Him. Indeed, the final and ultimate purpose of the Christ is that the Christian shall be reproduced in His own likeness, within and without.

Paul again expressed the same thing in the first chapter of Colossians, ” That transformation is to be an inner transformation. It is a transformation of our life, of our nature into His nature, into His likeness.

In emphasizing this truth the apostle again put it into a different form, He says “Until Christ be formed in you” Galatians 4:19. Meaning, until our nature is transformed into the nature of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The mission of our Lord Jesus Christ is to take away sin through the transforming grace of God from the soul of man. Gives him strength instead of human weakness. He supplies the grace that makes him like the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the truest things in all my life, in my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, has been to feel that He was capable of knowing my sorrows, and yours. And that in the truest sense He thereby become our closet friend.

In Isaiah 63:9 wonderfully expresses that fact “In their entire affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence save them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.”

There is a union between the Christ and the believer that is so deep, so pure, so sweet, so real, that the very conditions of the human spirit are transmitted to His, and the conditions of the Christ’s Spirit are transmitted to ours.

The Christian life is designed by God to be a life of splendid, holy triumph. That triumph is produced in us through the continuous inflow and abiding presence of the Spirit of the triumphant Christ. He brings into our nature the triumph that He enjoys.

The mature Christian, having entered into that consciousness of overcoming through the Spirit of Christ, is privileged to transmit that same overcoming power and spirit to other lives, in and through the power of the Spirit of God.

That is why the Christian who is joined with the Christ lives, moves and has his being in the same life, in the same Spirit that the Christ is and has, and is therefore the reproduction of the lord Jesus Christ.

MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT

There is a quickening by the Spirit of God so that a man’s body, a man’s soul or mind, and a man’s spirit all alike become blessed, pervaded and filled with the presence of God Himself in us.

The medium by which God undertakes to bless the world is through the transmission of Himself.

When we speak of the Spirit of God being transmitted to man and into man, we are not talking about an influence, either spiritual or mental. We are talking about the transmission of the living substance and being of God into your being and into mine.

Not a mental effect, but a living substance, the living being and actual life transmitted, imparted, coming from God into your being, into my being.

That is the secret of the abundant life of which Jesus spoke. Jesus said “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more ABUNDANTLY. John 10:10

The reason we have the more abundant life is because that by receiving God into our being, all the springs of our being are quickened by His living presence.

Consequently, if we are living today and we receive God, we live life in a fuller measure, we live life with a greater power because we become the recipients of the power of the living God in addition to our normal energy, through the reception of His being, His nature, His life into ours.

The wonderful measure that the human being is capable of receiving God is demonstrated by some of the incidents in the Bible. For instance, the most remarkable in the Scriptures is the Transfiguration of Jesus Himself, where, with Peter, James, and John, the Spirit of God came upon Him so powerfully that is radiated out through His clothes became white and glistening and His face shown as the light.

Now one must be the recipient of the light, glory and power of God before he or she can manifest it.
