Christ in You

Faith Food Devotional Christ in You February 1, 2017 "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27).   By the power of the Holy Spirit, Christ is dwelling in you. Is He any less Christ in you than He was when He was on the earth?   No! He's the same Christ. He has all of His power! He has all of His ability! He has all of His glory! He has all of His miracle-working power! He has all of His enablements!   And Christ is in you! You just have to know how to turn Him loose. Someone once said to Smith Wigglesworth, "You must be someone big; someone great."   "No," Wigglesworth replied, "I just remember that the Scripture says, "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. I just know the Greater One is in me, and the Greater One does the work."   How do you turn Christ loose in you? How do you put the Greater One to work?   You do it by faith.   Confession:   Christ in me is the hope of glory. Christ

They could have just gone on a certain day when they knew the angel would show up. But they were there all the time because the angel might come at any time.   When an angel came down from Heaven and troubled the waters of this pool, the first person in got healed. No one else got healed until next time around. Why did God do it that way? The Scripture doesn't say why, but if God wanted to do it that way, He certainly coul

YOUR FATHER’S HEART

Matthew 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Let me tell you a true story I heard. There was a pastor whose young child was diagnosed with cancer. The day his boy was scheduled for an operation, this father cried out to God, “God, I’m almost 30 years old, but my boy is only about three months old. Why don’t you just take some years off my life and give them to my boy?” Then, from deep within him, he heard the voice of God say, “I am not like that.” When the man heard that, he realized immediately that his son’s sickness was not from God. He also realized that if he, who has faults, could want his child well, how much more his heavenly Father. So he changed his prayer and said, “Father God, I come against this sickness and I ask you for healing for my child.” That day, on the operating table, the surgeons could find no trace of cancer
