Christ in us the Hope of Glory

[palv]

I am writing to confirm some aspects of the Gospel as I have come to experience them and live them and would like some idea as to how to share this. Jesus Christ, God in Him, the Holy Spirit and others of Heaven are living here, in us, in houses, in cities, at work, in children, and adults and in every aspect of our existence. This is a very real indwelling, no question about it and there is ample evidence to this for those who would see it. I am very glad to share this but there are few in my circle who would hear of it, do you experience this , and when Heaven is so tangibly here how can we make people more receptive to this Good News. It is so important that people grasp the reality of Heaven's witness and sharing in their every move, thought and aspect of existence, and I see that this as the Hope of Glory that God is talking about, because knowing this and getting to know these persons one would think twice about many behaviors that we see in the world today (as there are always many multiple witnesses to our activities) every moment. Not only that they are experts in the realities of the Gospel, not to mention many other things, like cooking and other things. Please share as to how you share this Body of Christ in us so people do not mind to hear it.

hi palv!

Welcome to CF! I think you posted this in the wrong area and thats why nobody is replying. i asked a mod to move it to "for new christians" so that others will respond.

i think your post is very insiteful and very true. I am not quite sure HOW to let others know except to just be yourself and let natural conversations happen and share your love of the Lord with others. Alot of it is about your walk more than your talk..in my opinion. LIVE the Christian life and others will naturally come to you with questions. God bless.

I don't think I understand what you mean. But welcome to the forums :)

It's a great point, even if it's tough to get across. People tend to ignore the familiar facts of their existence. When you can persuade people to focus on these thoughts it tends to open them up. But it takes some perceptiveness to see who is open to what you have to say.

I've recently thought that Jesus' Beatitudes aren't simply a statement of "Who's gonna be blessed", but a statement of who will be receptive to His Gospel.

the poor in spiritthose who mourn
the meek
those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
the merciful
the pure in heart
the peacemakers
those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake
you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on My account

This is a very real indwelling, no question about it and there is ample evidence to this for those who would see it. I am very glad to share this but there are few in my circle who would hear of it, do you experience this , and when Heaven is so tangibly here how can we make people more receptive to this Good News.I think I understand where you are going with this. Yes indeed This is a REAL indwelling and I praise the Lord that he has revealed this reality to many on earth. It is hard to explain the and reality of the spiritual realm and the reality of the spirit within to those who have not experienced it... in fact if you try, it sounds like madness to some.

One thing we have that cannot be taken from us or shaken is our testimonies. The best witness to a perishing world is a a life transformed through the power of the Holy spirit. Also, pray for wisdom and discernment and the spirit will help you as you witness to those around you. The Lord is with you my friend and he will give you the words to say. Just let him lead and you will be surprised how naturally conversation falls into the things of the spirit and truth.

I pray that the Lord will guide you and help you as you witness to the lost and that he will use you mightily to bring a great harvest of people to the Kingdom of God.

"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. "1Cor2:1

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. " 1cor1:18
