Podcasts about christ in you

Today we begin a powerful new series titled “Until Christ Is Formed In You,” based on Galatians 4:19–20, where the Apostle Paul expresses his deep desire for believers to fully reflect the life of Christ. In the opening message, Christ In You, Pastor Jack Morris walks us through the spiritual formation process—much like how a child is formed in the womb. It's a journey of growth, transformation, and surrender as Christ takes shape in our hearts and lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1528/29

Christ In You, Colossians 1:27-29

Welcome to the Grace Coach Podcast! Mike and Kevin share their insights from the Book of Colossians as they dive into Chapter 1:15-29. 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[a] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. 24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord's people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

Today's Promise: 1 John 4:4 Satan may be working in the world around you, but the Holy Spirit in you is greater than the powers of darkness around you. As a follower of Christ, you can stand strong against Satan's deception and lies by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. You can live in victory over Satan's deceptions and temptations because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

This truth transforms us and assures us of sharing in His glory (Romans 8:17).Living in the Glory TodayThe presence of Christ within us changes how we live daily. It empowers us to overcome disappointment, rely on His strength, and reflect His glory in our choices and relationships (Galatians 2:20).The Hope of Future GloryOur ultimate hope lies in Christ's return and the glorious future He promises. This hope sustains us through trials, reminding us that our current sufferings are incomparable to the glory to come (Romans 8:18).Through personal reflection, Scripture, and practical challenges, the sermon encourages us to live in the hope of Christ's presence and share it with others. As we step into a new year, may this eternal hope shape how we think, act, and trust in God's promises.Takeaway: “Christ in you” is the greatest hope we have for 2025.

The world is rife with fear, turmoil, confusion and instability. Much is being shaken under its own weight: things sourced in temporal things with confused or frankly wicked agendas. But God, Love Himself, is relentless in His redemptive process. His shaking is designed to shake off what is in us and the world that is not eternal and not sourced in Him. He is unstoppable in this. This makes us unstoppable as we operate from our oneness with Him, laying down what is not of Love/Him, identifying with who we truly are in Him.

Colossians began with God the Father, focused on Jesus the King and now introduces ministry in the church. While Paul uses himself as the example, all who name Christ as King belong to the priesthood of believers, and what is true of Paul is also true of us.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given… ~ Isaiah 9:6 In a letter from1888, George MacDonald says of Christmas: “If the story were not true nothing else would be worth being true. Because it is true, everything is lovely-precious.”* The Christmas story, for MacDonald, is the guarantor of truth and beauty; without it both disintegrate into meaninglessness. The Christmas Story: 1. His birth - Luke 2:1-7 2. Announcement - Luke 2:8-14 3. Shepherds - Luke 2:15-20 4. Magi & Herod - Matthew 2:1-6 5. Worship & Warning - Matthew 2:7-12 6. The Conflict Begins - Matthew 2:13-16 7. The Light of Men - John 1:1-8 8. We See Eternity - John 1:9-14 9. God’s Preview - Isaiah 9:6-7 “The winter is the childhood of the year. Into this childhood of the year came the child Jesus; and into this childhood of the year must we all descend. It is as if God spoke to each of us according to our need: ‘My son, my daughter, you are growing old and cunning; you must grow a child again.’” ~ George MacDonald Follow along at our social outlets: https://joylandlife.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joylandlife/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5-vPe7h_wjctIQxnaUQSnQ?view_as=subscriber Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/joyland-life/id1494637858 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6gCbEDE8pgrNhHlG0WM0fo?si=6fSKeO87SoGrx2BOUveHfQ&nd=1 Zoom: https://www.zoom.us/j/3377733377 Joyland App: https://tithely.app.link/joyland (You must follow this through your phone.)

The Faith Path In Action  (audio) David Eells – 12/20/23  Christ Manifest In Us  David Eells    Examine the related verses and you will see how Jesus is coming in this body. Christ will manifest His life and ministry in us.  (2 Th. 1:10-12) when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. (We are still coming out of the dark ages but God will reveal the greater works in our day.) (11) To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power; (12) that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.  (2 Cor. 3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.  (Col. 3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.  (Gal. 4:19) My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you.  (Col. 1:27,28) to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (28) whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;  (2 Cor. 4:10,11) always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. (11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.  (Eph. 3:14-19) For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, (15) from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, (16) that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; (17) that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, (19) and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.  (Eph. 4:11-15) And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (14) that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; (15) but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ;  Maturity is having Christ manifest in you. 1 Jn 2:28 says "And now my little children, abide in him; that if he shall be manifested (the three most ancient manuscripts of the New Testament, the Nestles text, the A.S.V., the R.V., and the Numeric New Testament agree to this translation)   if he shall be manifested we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming." This means that "If he shall be manifested" in us, we won't be ashamed when we see him.  1 Jn 3:2 says "Beloved now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, (Again this means manifested in us 2 Cor 4:10,11) (the three most ancient manuscripts of the New Testament, the Nestles text, the Received Text, the A.S.V., the R.V., and the Numeric New Testament agree on this translation) we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is". Notice that we must see the real Jesus to be like Him. The apostates Jesus is nothing like Him and so they do not walk as He walked. 2Co 3:18 ASV  But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. This shows us that if we “see him as he is” in the mirror (by faith) then we will manifest his glory. According to quantum physics or mechanics we must see what we want and believe we have received it to have it. Christ exchanged his life for ours at the cross. (Col. 1:22,23) yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven;) That's why we must see him in the mirror by faith in order to manifest him. (Gal. 2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. This kind of faith is accounted as righteousness until righteousness is manifested in bearing fruit. He who sees his “natural face in the mirror” will be a hearer but not a doer because they will not have power to obey (James 1:23).  (Col. 3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested (in us-same as above), then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. Now notice the life of Christ is his glory and it is manifested in our “mortal flesh” (2 Cor 4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Notice: mortal flesh on the earth, not glorified bodies.  The false prophet has told us that we have to settle for being forgiven sinners in this life instead of overcoming sons of God. For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. (This means in the true believer's flesh.) (2 Jn 7). Note: "is come" or "has come in the flesh" has no foundation in the ancient manuscripts, the Received Text or the Nestles Text or Numerics. Paul prayed in Epe 3:18,19 that they "may be strong to apprehend (not comprehend- The ancient manuscripts, Received Text and Nestles Text and Numerics agree) ...the breadth and length and height and depth ...of Christ ...and be filled unto all the fullness of God".  According to Paul in Eph. 4:11-15 the five-fold ministry is "for the perfecting of the saints...unto a full-grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ". Through faith in the promises we "cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Cor 7:1).  (2 Th. 1:10-12) when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. (11) To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power; (12) that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Be diligent in this faith beloved, till He comes and you will bear the fruit of His works and have great reward.  Most of you know but I want to briefly explain that Manifest in these texts means to appear in the physical realm. When we come to Christ we accept all of His benefit by faith (faith is the substance of the thing hoped for while the evidence is unseen) until the sacrifice is manifest in our lives as fruit. According to the parable of the sower, the seed is sown in the heart but only one out of the four is good ground and brings forth fruit 30, 60, 100 fold. The fruit here is Christ, not other souls. The fruit of the Spirit. He is the “seed” (sperma = Greek) of the word and each seed brings forth after its own kind; not another Jesus.  (Rom. 8:24,25) For in hope (Greek = a firm expectation) were we saved. But hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? (25) But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. In other words we wait for the full manifesting of our salvation. When we come to Christ, we receive a new spirit but our soul, our mind, will, and emotions, needs transforming. (Rom. 12:2) And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  By faith we say with Paul (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. As we make this confession of our faith, it will be continually manifested in us for we are justified by faith. The Holy Spirit gives power to those who believe.  If we don't repent and believe the word, we cannot have what it says. As long as we are walking by faith in the word, we are acceptable to God for "faith is accounted as righteousness". Jesus told his disciples in (Luk 6:40) The disciple is not above his teacher but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher. Christ wants to live and be seen or manifested in us. As we repent, when we see the word we permit this to happen. We give good ground to the seed and bear His fruit.  (Lk 9:23,24) And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (24) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  (2 Pet.1:19) And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts. This is the manifested glory.  (2 Pet 1:9-11) For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. (10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things ye shall never stumble: (11) For thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  (Jas.1:23) For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror. If we don't see Jesus in the mirror, then that is not faith and we will not be a doer of the word. A doer of the word is manifesting Christ.  I received this objection to my letter "Christ In You" from a brother. I am using the word perfection as the Greek word implies, to be mature, or fullgrown.  Here is an apostates objection: Dave, Are you suggesting that the Word teaches perfection can be attained in this life? your quote: "perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Cor 7:1). would seem to indicate strongly that it is an ongoing process (known in Scripture as Sanctification) not accomplished in this life. Paul said, "...not as if I had already attained "... - Paul continues that he is still pursuing that higher life which is found in Christ who is "in us". I John says that if we say we sin not we lie. We must be careful to differentiate between the goal we strive for (as close to the life of Jesus as possible) and claiming sinless perfection. Try as you may and believe as much as you wish does not erase the "old man" we must constantly fight against. That fight is by faith, of course, in Christ.  Here is my answer:  I hope you will read this carefully because as you can see it is the Word of God. We can't reject any scripture and still say we have the truth. We cannot pick the verses we like in order to justify our religion. "The sum of thy words is truth".  The whole verse says this: Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Cor. 7:1) All we have to do is believe what it says without invoking the curse for adding to the word. We are commanded here to use the word of God to separate from worldly thinking and actions.  Look at what the following scriptures say: (1 Th 4:3-8) For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; (4) that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, (5) not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; (6) that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. (7) For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. (8) Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.  How can sanctification not be attainable in this life when scriptures says, (Heb. 12:14,15) Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: (15) looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God. Holiness and sanctification are the same Greek word. A person who does not believe it is attainable cannot receive it because we receive it by faith.  (2 Cor. 4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.  (Eph.3:18-20) ....may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, (in other words all of Christ ) (19) and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God. (20) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,  (Eph. 4:12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (14) that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; (15) but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ;  (Col. 1:22,23) yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard,  (1 Cor. 15:1,2) Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, (2) by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.  We are justified by faith in the sanctification given us at the cross and that faith continually brings us into manifest sanctification. Faith is accounted as righteousness until righteousness is manifested in us. In this way a person can continue under the grace of God as he bears fruit.  Faith is the "victory that overcomes the world" (1 Jn 5:4). Faith is "calling the things that are not as though they were" (Rom. 4:17), until they come to pass. We must be "seeing that His divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness... whereby He hath granted unto us His precious and exceeding great promises that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust" (2 Pet 1:34).  Christ made you "free from sin" (Rom. 6:18,22) so why should you "live any longer therein?" (verse 22) for you were "delivered out of the power of darkness" (Colossians 1:13) so "reckon yourselves to be dead unto sin but alive unto God" and "let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that you should obey the lusts thereof "(Rom. 6:11,12). "If you live after the flesh, you must die: but if by the Spirit (God's power) you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:13,14). Believe God's promises and escape the lusts of the flesh. "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2Cor. 7:1).  (1 Jo.2:1-6) My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: (2) and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. (3) And hereby we know that we know him. If we keep his commandments. (4) He that saith. I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar. and the truth is not in him: (5) but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: (6) he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.  The religions of this day have turned the grace of God into lasciviousness, which is a license to do what you want to do. As we can see from the above verses grace delivers from sin, not just covers it up. The blood covers our ignorance until we see the light.  (Jas 4:17) To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. (Heb. 10:26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.   Some sins are done in ignorance and are therefore not willful. These are covered by the Blood. For the other sins we will obviously get chastening until we hopefully repent. (Rom.5:13)... for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. You may have sinned a sin of ignorance (not knowing the law) but under Grace, God does not reckon it as sin. That is why we cannot say, "we have no sin",(1 Jo 1:8) We are ignorant of many things that are against His perfect will. When we get light, then we are responsible.  When does the Blood not just cover, but wash away the very nature of sin? (1 Jo 1:5-7) And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie. and do not the truth: (7) but if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  This is why the Gospel is the good news. Now we don't have to be content with forgiveness because Jesus is "the Lamb of God that taketh away, not just covers up the sins of the world". Many of God's people are still living with Old Testament benefits because they don't believe the Gospel.  I hope this answer will benefit you in your walk with Christ.    One With Jesus  Anonymous 06/22/23 (David's notes in red)  (Last night I tried going to sleep but God wouldn't let me until I wrote this down, and I asked God if He really wants me to write it down to have some dogs bark, which I don't hear often, and as soon as I thought this in my mind, multiple dogs started barking. After I wrote it down on my phone, I instantly fell asleep PRAISE GOD!  When I had this experience, everything I wrote I felt and saw as if it had fully manifested, and it was so real and alive and true and I DESIRE, that I could have stayed in this experience. It was maybe like 10-30 seconds of seeing and feeling all of this, and it was so real and I am so excited for us all to have this connection with God every moment, no matter what is going on, and to have His Holy connection with each other and being one together, without spot or blemish.)  I was praying in tongues, and I saw that very soon we are all going to be so connected to God (we already are by faith but it will physically manifest), that we hear His voice extremely clear every moment, and we know it is Him without doubt and unbelief. That we will constantly be speaking to Him back and forth, more than we speak to any human, when awake and asleep our soul will be communing with Him just as the Holy Spirit does. That the flesh will be so suppressed and submissive to the Holy Spirit, and we will be so in tune with God, we know and obey what He wants with extreme joy in every moment, without complaint and without the flesh trying to stop us.   We will have such boldness to have Him speak through us, with no fear of man, or fear of rejection (these things that try to hinder us from being and living as Jesus won't even try to hinder us anymore.) That we will know 100% that He is in us, and all around us and we ARE one with Him. (Him literally here in this physical flesh and the flesh in agreement without hindrance.)    That we would know and be, living and breathing His Word, not from our own works but in His strength. It will be from His Spirit and Grace in our soul in our flesh. Every second we will know it is His Grace and we will rest beyond understanding, because we are in Him and Him in us no matter what is going on around us. Our soul will be fully content with this and nothing can stop it and the flesh will submit. That we will know Jesus' authority in us over the enemy, and the enemy will flee with one word or thought, because it's just Jesus in us. No more struggling with the flesh, but just being in Him.  That we can constantly freely praise and worship Him every moment with NO temptation to complain, murmur or doubt. That our soul is completely free to praise as the Holy Spirit does and free to worship God with our body, physically being submitted to doing ALL God wants.  All of this while on earth, and in this physical body. Alive in Christ. I saw that the brethren will be in complete unity, because of Jesus in them, and the enemy won't be able to get in the way of this oneness in Christ.    No jealousy, no pride, no rejection, no battles of the flesh; but pure Holy Love one to another, loving each other as we love our self, and serving each other as Christ serves. We will be one with no separation, no superiority, equal together in Christ. All different members, but all one body working together in unity, like the human body. So connected, it's as if we are reading each other's mind, and in agreement in our minds and souls and spirit, and the flesh is submitted. That everything flows perfectly because we all are constantly connected and in tune with God (and in tune with each other.)   That our Faith is complete with God, that we have not even a tiny doubt, and we know that what we ask, we immediately receive because it's Christ in us. That what we command and speak into the physical, is immediately manifested, because Jesus in us is communing with Father every second. The enemy doesn't even try his normal tactics of unclean thoughts and feelings, because he knows we won't even accept or look at it.  I knew that we will see and experience things we can't even imagine right now, but it is all for God's glory and it will be only Jesus in us. We can't do anything to make this happen, but have faith in His grace to do it through us for His Glory. EVERYTHING IS for Him! Now and forever!  (My husband prayed about this and heard:  “You are now in a new level of training. This is an exercise of the tests and application of My Word. Speak and hold to the miracles I have promised! Many are showing others who are younger in their walk to do this when in doubt or with little experience. See how one who prays and praises in faith, can move a miracle. Then others will try in their belief; suddenly the power will multiply and through many more people. It will spread and go beyond even the first person who prayed, leading by example. The effects go to areas and new heights where no one had even thought. It will go beyond the imagination or thoughts of impossibility. You (all) are My vessel. I will flow through you all as a Holy Army!”  (I landed on: ‘testifying' in 1Th 2:11) Praise the Lord - Forever! 

“How well will we handle relationships, emotions, pain and pleasure throughout out life-time? Joy creates an identity that is stable and consistent over time. Joy gives us the freedom to share our hearts with God and others. Expressing our joyful identity creates space for others to belong. Joy gives us the freedom to live without masks because, in spite of our weaknesses, we know we are loved. We are not afraid of our vulnerabilities or exposure. Joy gives us the freedom from fear to live from the heart Jesus gave us. We discover increasing delight in becoming the people God knew we could be.” ~ Dr. Jim Wilder Numbers 6:22-26 22 then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 "speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: 24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord lift up His countenance on you and give you peace.’ Psalm 16:11 NASU You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence* is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Christmas reminds all of us that we can respond to the message of Redeeming love.  But it is very important for us as believers to have the COURAGE—and the FAITH to take on the assignment! CHRIST IN YOU! This is what Mary did!  This is what Joseph did! As we look at the Christmas story we too can be encouraged to carry CHRIST IN US to our world too! Join us as we worship!

“Christ In You” is the fourth message in our exegetical study of the book of Colossians. This sermon was preached by Pastor Jason Garwood and recorded on Sunday, December 4th, 2022, at the weekly worship gathering of Cross & Crown Church. If you have been blessed by this sermon, please visit our website to learn more about us or to hear more messages: www.crosscrownchurch.com. If you would like to support the work and ministry of Cross & Crown Church you may make a one-time donation or set up recurring giving on our website at www.crosscrownchurch.com/give.

You have Christ in you, the hope of glory, and that makes you both beautiful and special.

Colossians is an Invitation– to Live In Christ. It is a warning to those who would want to add to, or move on from Christ, or be tempted to lose hope in the Gospel– which is the mystery of Christ In You. To Live In Christ is to give him preeminence in all things– to be defined by Christ who Becomes Our Life. Find your Tribe.

Butterflies are a stunning picture of the new life you have in Jesus. The old has gone, and the new has come! That is reason for celebration.

We are like Moses' burning bush, vessels through which the Lord speaks. There was nothing special about that bush, yet God chose to use it for his glorious purposes! How much more so will he use us?
