Christ in You!

Kenneth Copeland

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossians 1:27

Some years back, I was praying and walking the floor of our little house in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was walking up and down confessing 1 John 4:4, “Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.” Greater is He…. Greater is He…. Suddenly, revelation knowledge welled up in me and I knew, Oh! God is in me!

It hit me like someone walked up and slapped me with a wet rag. It just shook me awake. I started to stomp grandly around that old house. All of a sudden, I wasn’t just a poor preacher living in a shack anymore! I was the dwelling place of the Most High God! That changed my thinking about so many things. I looked at my hands and it hit me. His fingers are in my fingers! I looked at my legs. His legs are in my legs. His feet are in my feet! If I walk into danger, He walks into danger.

Now, when I hear people say, “Brother Copeland, my prayers aren’t getting any higher than the ceiling,” I want to say, “Higher than the ceiling? They don’t need to get any higher than your nose! He’s inside you! The Author of your prayers, the Author of your faith, Jesus of Nazareth has taken residency inside you. Hallelujah!”

Some people think you don’t get filled with the Spirit until you receive the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. But that’s not so. The Holy Spirit came into you when you made Jesus Lord of your life. He came into you when you were born again. Getting baptized in the Holy Spirit is another thing. It’s when the power of the Holy Ghost comes upon you to empower you for service (Acts 1:8).

That means even if you’ve just been born again two seconds, Jesus is in you! He’s living there, and He will be from now on. Can you fathom that? If you’ll spend some time thinking about it and meditating on it, you can receive revelation of it just like I did. It will start growing in your spirit and eventually change your whole life.

“As God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people” (2 Corinthians 6:16). Jesus is in you. That’s the most glorious truth in the Word of God. Let that truth come alive in you today.
