ALIVE IN YOU AND ME

We know we cannot ever squeeze a quart in a pint pot. The stupid thing will overflow; like it, or like it not. We understand these limits and know that they are true.

But in the unseen spirit world, such thought will never do. A closed container can contain whatever you require. The pressure may be different, far more than you desire. Likewise in the Spirit. For God to fill you more, He just increases pressure inside your spirit’s store. He knows that we will do it, before our vessel breaks, So keeps on doing what He does. He does it for our sakes! Perhaps this helps us see just how, in Jesus was compressed, All the Godhead’s nature; though no one would have guessed! Infinity was dwelling in the frame of Jesus Christ! It’s quite incomprehensible; but somehow He sufficed. Don’t ask me how He did it. I thought of asking you. But let me share a secret, it is absolutely true! Colossians chapter one and we will see in verse nineteen, God’s whole nature was in Christ, although it wasn’t seen. God was pleased to bring all things to Him in Christ our King. Not just little bits of it; not parts, but everything! Everything in heaven and all things on the earth, Would be reconciled to Him and peace would have its birth. The blood of Jesus did it. Our sins were scarlet red. And Jesus’ cleansing blood would make our sinful nature dead. Only He could do it. There is no other way. God and man were reconciled by what He did that day. Creation and the spirit with Jesus were infused. All of Satan’s comments couldn’t touch those he accused. Miracle of miracle. God’s nature was appeased. We could be forgiven; not sin-sick and diseased. If we will submit to Him, He’ll grant to us His peace. Turn His face toward us and grant us the release, From all of Satan’s purposes and diabolic plan, To come between the Godhead and His created man. Lord, Your plan was perfect. Salvation could apply, To any human being, who knew he couldn’t try, To live the way You wanted. But You could live within, Any man or woman who repented of their sin.
