So true, it speaks to the inner man.

He definately is the Lord of all.
When we let go of our carnel ways of thinking and acting,
it in turn produces the fruits of the Spirit. “Less of us and more of him”.
Refueling our souls with the word of God can only bring happiness.
“Increasing in love. Also allowing our lights to shine brightly!
Loved all the answers here as well.
Thanks Chip

As I was reading this post I was thinking and Galatians 2:20 Colossians 3:3. I have in previous weeks been sharing with brothers about this and will continued to do so. Although I have a desired to live having the fullness of Christ it is work in progress. It’s not easy but it can be done. God bless.

Gal 1:15 But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased 16 to reveal (G601 ἀποκαλύπτω , apokaluptō ,to take off the cover, that is, disclose: – revel)). His Son in me so that I might preach Him .

Oh, Aba Father, Please reveal your Son in Us !

Malachi 3:2 “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.
He comes, He becomes our Salvation and as He conforms us to His image nothing can stand or remain as He appears. Come Lord Jesus Come, Burn with the passion of your love. Sit in this temple and refine as only you can.

Ref. the my “mansion” statement. In John 14 – 17 it seemed to me that He, The Fathers House was going to the cross and preparing in Himself a mansion. A dwelling place for us in Him for union and communion with Him and the Father that never was possible or existed before. As a result of that dwelling place in Him we are one.

John 17:22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

God sees our hearts if we are really trying our best to decrease ourselves and Him increase. That’s it. Glory to God!

Doesn’t matter, how hard I try to Decrease myself, I cannot. Yes but there is one way to Decrease, I let Him Increase. When I am weak then I am strong. Seek I first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto me. But when I am seeking the things first, then I am increasing, not Him. God promised. You will seek me and find me when you will seek me with all your heart. Call to me and I will answer you and will tell you the great and hidden things which you have not known. Jer.29:13,33:3. That I may know Him and the power of His is resurrection. Phil.3:10 I pommel my body and subdue it. 1Cor.9:27, I present my body as a living sacrifice,Rom.12:1, As many as are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God. Rom.8:14.

It doesn’t take a long time to ingest them because it speaks to the heart. Thank you .
