Remember, that it's Jesus Christ inside of you, but then the revelation of that, can be bewildering. It can be overwhelming at times because you don't always know. Some of you don't even know if you're hearing God's voice correctly or not, but Jesus knows that He loves you. He's inside of you. So meditate on the fact that God said through Solomon, and through his father David, “The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23).
He also says that the spirit of the Lord is leading and guiding us to a brighter path that gets brighter and brighter as the noonday sun (Proverbs 4:18).
Then Solomon said that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10). I'm telling you this is where you start; you fear the Lord. What I mean by that, is Jesus said, don't fear man. He said to fear the one that can throw both your soul and your body into hell (Matthew 10:28). It's what Jesus said. You're not going to hell if you believe in Jesus.
GETTING IN STEP WITH GOD
I still fear God, and that's the beginning of wisdom. When I started to do that, I started to live my life in the fear of the Lord; things started to come to me. I didn't have to search for them anymore. You can gain understanding, but I'm telling you right now, if you would just do something for someone else and let that be your first step, your light is going to light up; your path is going to light up.
In some languages when you translate; “The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord,” it actually means that “each step is numbered in sequence,” and I saw this when I was in Heaven, but it's not taught down here. It sounds kind of spooky that each one of your steps is preordained, but you can get into synchronization with that, and your life is going to change. Thank you, Becca, for saying that because your Grandma has touched my life. She influenced me too. She prayed for me. She would call me and cry and pray for me, and she would tell me, don't give up, Kevin, don't back off. And I said I don’t want to play this anymore. I was just so frustrated with the way the system was set up down here, and she understood that, but she was a history maker. She didn't have her own TV show or anything like that. She never wrote a book, but she was a very powerful woman of God. Thank you for sharing it.
If Christ is unfolding in you and it doesn't have to do with your previous life, then that means there must be some sort of expansion, and you're going to get better every day. You're going to grow and mature, and it's going to get better. It's not going to get worse because Paul is talking about that we're not yielding to our old life, that Christ is unfolding inside of us. Every day we're going to get better. Whatever you did today, and you messed up, you got to understand that God is going to help you and you're going to be better tomorrow.
How have you noticed that Christ is unfolding in you, and is expanding and increasing in size?
Every day when I wake up, I'm an improvement. I have improved and matured in so many ways. I woke up this morning with more revelation than I did yesterday.
It's like something happens at night because the Spirit, doesn't sleep. He's just wanting to reveal things to you. I had dreams last night about my future and then today while I was traveling, I actually remember weeks ago having the dream of the flight that I was on. I actually had already dreamt that weeks ago, yet last night I dreamt things that are for the future, and I know they're going to happen. I'm not even worried about it.
The history maker is inside of you, and He wants you to just get in step with Him.
The first step could be just helping someone else. That will get you on the right track. It could be something very small, but remember, you are influential; you can influence people. It might be just the person beside you in your Warrior Fellowship. If God speaks to you that you're supposed to pray for somebody in your fellowship, then at the proper time you do that.
Kathi:
Well, it's one of my favorite scriptures; I'm sure we all love it, Jesus Christ in us, the hope of glory. Like The Passion Translation says, unfolding inside of us. I just had a visual of the last few years a real emphasis on core training. It's not just about people who work out, like they want to have big biceps, and be really strong, but if that core isn't strong so there's been a lot of teaching on core training, like making sure your core is strong. Then I was just seeing how that relates to us in the Spirit as well if we don't have a revelation that Jesus Christ really is in us, then we might be lifting a lot of weight, but we're not going to have that strength to carry it. So we do change history when we carry that revelation that God invested everything in having Jesus in us. He banked on that. He shed His blood; He gave His only begotten Son so that Jesus Christ could be in us and we could have that hope of glory. You might have all this going on around you, but when you say, no, wait a minute, Jesus is in me, He's my hope of glory. You know that the creator of the universe is in you, and you protect that revelation, you guard it; you're making sure that you're representing the body of Christ, and that you're a steward over that. You're saying my part is going to be on track. I'm not going to just have this fuzzy revelation. I'm going to contend for the glory that was paid for to be a part of my story. I'm going to make sure that when I leave, I'm leaving a clear, clean foundation. Even in the Old Testament, it says that when the foundation was laid, they rejoiced, they celebrated over the foundation. How important is the foundation? It's so cool that God's just bringing that back to us, that it's not insignificant, that we spend time reminding ourselves of who's in us.
Remember that who is in you came as fire one day: on the Day of Pentecost. Remember that one day there was an earthquake when the Holy Spirit came, and there was a rushing wind when the Holy Spirit came? So they saw that, these tongues of fire on their heads, and so he came, and he baptized them. And you have to also remember that they had utterances that they spoke in other languages, they spoke in tongues that day, and they were all in one accord. You have to remember that the Holy Spirit that's in you is much more powerful than what we see. Just like Kathi said, “You have to remind yourself and set those things before you.”
PRAYER:
Holy Spirit, You can baptize all around the earth right now, right now, in every Warrior Fellowship. Come with Your fire. Come, come with fire. Come with the holy fire right now. Come with revelation right now. May the books be open and may all the people see their individual books right now, Lord. That You were just revealed by Your Spirit, their books and their purpose and the plan that You have for them, that they are valuable. Holy Spirit, just be that lawyer, that advocate right now in the name of Jesus and defend, come, and counsel each individual right now by Your Spirit in the name of Jesus. Amen.
1. Discuss how the revelation of Christ in us changes people’s behavior versus us trying to make people behave.
2. Discuss how religion can make it frustrating for you to do anything correctly because there are so many dos and don'ts versus Jesus in you who wants you to have freedom and life.
3. Pray with one another and for anyone with specific needs or prayer requests.
