God, Breathe on Us — Part II: The Apostolic Shift from Proximity to Union
“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth… for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” — John 14:16–17 (KJV)
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery… which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27 (KJV)
This is the mystery that generations longed to see, that is the collapse of distance between God and man. The apostolic witness is clear: God has transitioned from visitation to habitation. This has nothing to do with a denomination; this is about relationship. The presence of God is no longer confined to temples made with hands or bodies limited by geography. The Holy Spirit is not an addition to your life; He is the manifestation of Christ within your life. This is union, not association. This is indwelling, not happenstance. This new life in Christ is what others want to know about. Is it real, or will he save me, and the answer is YES!!!!! He will make you new!!
Hear this prophetically: you have graduated from chasing after God to carrying God. You need to own it! Scriptures says: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, KJV). This is the end of sacred geography and the emergence of a mobile dwelling. Wherever you stand becomes a place of encounter because Christ the hope of glory is within you. Where you are right now GOD is there! I really need you to understand the power of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This is greater than walking with Jesus, that is pre-resurrection, this is Christ living through you that is post-resurrection. Christ touch was momentary, but this indwelling is eternal. Proximity could be interrupted, but union is uninterrupted. You are not waiting for His presence; you are called to be stewarding it. Let the deposit of heaven within be expressed outwardly, because you are the witness that HE came. Let help our sisters and brothers and tell them we are the proof of his power and his breath!!
