CHRIST IN YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).

The greatest thing that could ever happen to a person is to receive and know Jesus Christ. His Word and indwelling presence give your life a meaning and establish your victory over sin, sickness and the devil.

Man is a spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body. When you were born again, Christ took up His abode in your spirit. However, His manifestation in your life must go beyond your spirit and impact your soul, mind and body. A person can be born again and still struggle with negative thoughts or be oppressed of the devil.

This is because the soul, which comprises the mind, emotions and will, must also be subjected to the influence of Christ. When Christ is manifested in your soul, your thoughts are renewed to align with God’s Word. Instead of thinking fear, failure, or defeat, you think faith, success, victory, dominion and righteousness. You feel the emotions of God and act according to His will. This is why the Bible admonishes in Romans 12:2 for us to renew our minds.

In John 14:21, the Lord Jesus said, "… he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." This means Jesus can manifest Himself to you, not just in your spirit but also in your mind, filling you with divine thoughts. If you’re sick in your body today for example, what you need is the manifestation of Christ in your body! It’ll keep you in divine health.

His manifestation in your life dispels everything that is not of God. If Christ is manifested in the limbs of one who’s impotent, they’ll be made whole. If He’s manifested in your heart, you’ll never have heart trouble. Hallelujah! Christ manifested in the lives of sinners breaks the power of sin and shatters the chains of bondage for them to serve God in righteousness.

So, let Christ be fully expressed in every part of your being—your spirit, soul and body—so that you may walk in the fullness of His glory. It begins with you being conscious of the Christ-life in you and living every second, every minute and every hour of each day with the understanding that Christ in you is the hope of glory.

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the indwelling presence of Christ in me. His life, power and glory are manifested in my spirit, soul and body. Every sickness, oppression, and limitation is dispelled as Christ is revealed in my life. I walk in divine health, righteousness and victory, expressing your glory, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
