No man does these things except God be with him (John 3:2).
God in Christ
..the evidence, He performed the works of God
God in us
…the evidence, We do the works of Christ
Greater things than this shall you in do in my name.
The same spirit that was in Christ is in you and The “manifestation” of the Spirit is given to every man (1 Cor 12:27). The Greek word for “manifestation” is “phanerosis” which means “shining forth” evidence of the one who lives within. Which tells us when the gifts of the Holy Ghost are evidenced in us we reveal Jesus. “Thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest and so falling dow on his face he will worship God and report God is in you of a truth.” (I Corinthians 14:25).
There will be many manifestations in our churches this weekend, but what proof is it that these manifestations are Christ in us or are they the flesh working in us. The test, are they spiritual gifts? according to 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. For these gifts cannot be operated by flesh but by faith. Ask God for the “manifestation” of Jesus in your fellowship this weekend. The gifts of his spirit in operation. The nine gifts, all of the gifts (1 Corinthians 12 and 14). without them we are operating in human energy rather than God given enery. I want whats real dont you? If you have the real God then the real spirit will been seen, ” light” will shine, whats that, the authentic God given gifts of the Holy Ghost!… that make a pagan say “God is in you!”
God in you.. The gifts prove it!
