"But
the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him." (1
Corinthians 6:17, The Amplified Bible)
I
once heard about a great man of God who looked in the mirror every day when he
put on his suit and said, "Suit, everywhere you go today, God goes in
you." And you know, he's right. If you have united yourself to God by
receiving Jesus as Lord, everywhere you go today...God goes too!
As
believers, we need to start becoming more conscious of that. We need to train
ourselves to be constantly aware of God inside of us, talking to us, teaching
us, counselling us, empowering us, and enduing us with Himself. We need to
continually remind ourselves that we are
one
spirit with Him. That means that every time we face a problem, every time we
face an evil spirit that tries to influence and hinder our lives, God is facing
it too. When we meet those things, God meets them. And He's already overcome
them!
Let
me encourage you when you get dressed today to look in the mirror and say,
"I am united to the Lord and I have become one spirit with Him.
Body, everywhere you go today...God goes. God is in you. The power of God is in
you. The wisdom of God is in you. The victory of God is in you."
Say
that to yourself every day-- many times a day. Keep doing it until you begin to
develop the habit of thinking that way. Cultivate a
constant
awareness of the reality of God living in you!
