GREATNESS ON THE INSIDE OF US

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

I have good news! There is greatness living on the inside of you and me! At the new birth, when we asked Jesus to be our Lord and Saviour, the Holy Spirit came to live in us to empower us from the inside out. 

Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.  These scriptures remind us how powerful the Holy Spirit is and not to forget He's living inside us.

The Holy Spirit is greater than absolutely anything and everything that is thrown at us or comes against us. He is more powerful than every disease, every circumstance, every threat and He proved it by raising Jesus from Hell at the resurrection. He is the Greater One, and I know I need to get my head around the fact that He is inside me right now. Maybe you do too?

When scripture says we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us it means we have His Spirit to draw on to overcome whatever troubles us on any level. Jesus said He would not abandon us or leave us alone and He meant it. We're not meant to do life on our own, in our own strength. We're meant to do it with the Holy Spirit who is there to counsel us, help us, strengthen us and empower us. 

So can I encourage us all, including me, to remember who we are and hold our heads up as we go out into our day because we are children of the Most High God, His Holy Spirit actually lives inside us and is available for us to call on to overcome whatever is bothering us, whether it's fatigue, health issues, finances or anything else. 

Yesterday I had to make a difficult phone call to a business so I reminded myself I was a child of the Most High God and that I could do this with His help. That phone call went really well and I felt so good after it. The Holy Spirit gave me His 'I can do'. 😊

We have His greatness on the inside of us, His great joy, His great patience, His great peace, His great 'can do' power, so let's rest in Jesus and draw on Him today. Amen.

Ephesians 6:10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

All through your day keep declaring: I am strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Thank You Lord!
