The Faith of Jesus Christ in believer

 And when you discover what it was, when you understand why it worked, you'll see why the early church experienced power we, modern church rarely see in our daily living. 

The Most Misunderstood Type of Faith in the Bible

The teachings reveal that one of the most powerful forms of faith in Scripture has been hiding in plain sight. 

This message uncovers the difference between striving to produce faith and discovering The Faith that already operates through your union with Christ. 

When this truth becomes clear, the pressure to believe harder fades, and your walk with God shifts from effort to resting in The Faith that cannot fail.

Peace of Christ be upon you, dear reader.

     There's a type of faith in the Bible that most Christians have never been taught. 

And it's the most powerful Faith that exists. 

It's not your faith in God. It's God's Faith in you. 

And when you discover what this faith is, when you understand how it operates, when you learn to access it, you'll stop trying to manufacture faith and start operating from The Faith that cannot fail. 

This changes everything. 

In Galatians 2:20, apostle Paul wrote something that most believers read but never understand. He said,"l am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." 

Did you catch that? 

Apostle Paul didn't say he lived by his faith in the Son of God.  He said he lived by the faith of the Son of God. 

That's not a typo error. That's not a translation error. 

That's the revelation of the most powerful faith in existence.

The faith that belongs to Jesus Christ. 

The faith Jesus Christ has. 

And that faith is in you right now. 

Today you're going to discover what this faith is, how it's different from your faith in God, and how to access it. 

This is the missing piece that makes everything else work. 

 Let's start by exposing why this type of faith is so misunderstood.

 Most believers have been taught that faith is something you produce, you work it up, you develop it, you exercise it. 

It's your faith, your believing, your confidence, your trust. And the stronger your faith, the better your results. 

But that entire model puts the pressure on you. 

It makes faith dependent on your ability to believe, your capacity to trust, your strength to hold on. 

And when results don't come, the assumption is always the same. Your faith wasn't strong enough. You didn't believe hard enough. You let doubt in. The problem is you. 

But Galatians 2:20 {I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.} 

 Galatians 2:20 reveals something radically different. 

Apostle Paul didn't live by his own faith. He lived by the faith of the Son of God. 

That's possessive. 

The Faith that belongs to Jesus Christ. 

The Faith Jesus Christ has. 

And here's the revolutionary part. 

That faith is not something you produce. 

It is something you access. 

It is not your faith working. 

It's Christ's faith operating in you. 

And Christ's faith never fails, never waivers, never doubts. 

Because it is not dependent on your ability to believe. 

It is dependent on Jesus Christ's nature. 

And His nature is perfect, complete, unchanging. 

Most believers have never heard this taught. 

They've been told about faith in God. 

They've been instructed to develop their faith. 

They've been shown how to exercise faith, but they've never been shown that there's another faith available. 

The Faith that doesn't depend on them. 

The Faith that belongs to Christ. 

The Faith that's already in them because Christ is in them. 

And when you discover this faith, when you learn to operate from it instead of trying to produce your own, everything shifts. 

You stop striving to believe and start resting in the One who already believes. 

You stop trying to manufacture faith and start accessing the faith that's already yours in Christ. 

You must understand this with clarity. 

Note: "The faith of the Son of God is not your faith in Him. It is His Faith inside you. It's the faith He has. It's the faith that raised Him from the dead, that healed the sick, that cast out demons, that spoke to mountains, and they moved. "

And that faith lives in you because He lives in you.

You're not trying to believe enough. 

You're learning to let His faith operate through you. 

The faith of the Son of God is not your faith in Him.

It is His Faith inside you. That sentence should revolutionize your entire approach to faith. 

Because if Christ's faith is in you, if it's his faith operating, not yours working, then the pressure is off. 

The burden is lifted. 

You're not trying to produce what you don't have. 

You're accessing what you already possess in Him. 

So, what is the faith of the Son of God? 

And how is it different from your faith in God? 

Let's define both precisely because the difference is everything. 

Your faith in God is your confidence in HIM. 

Your trust in His promises, your belief that He will do what He said. 

And that's good. That's necessary. 

The Bible commands it. 

But here's the limitation. 

Your faith in God is dependent on your understanding, your awareness, your consciousness. 

If you do not know a promise, you can't have faith for it. 

If you're not aware of your position, you can't believe from it. 

Your faith rises and falls based on what you know and how you see. 

It's subjective, variable, human. 

But the faith of the Son of God is something entirely different. 

It is not your confidence in God. It is God's  confidence in His Word. 

It is Christ's absolute unwavering perfect trust in   everything the Father said.

And here's the key. 

That faith does not depend on your understanding. 

This type of faith does not rise or fall based on your awareness. 

It is objective, constant, divine. 

It's the faith Jesus Christ operated with when He walked the earth. 

The faith that said to the storm, "Peace, be still." In Mark 4:39, "And the storm obeyed." 

The faith that said to the fig tree, "No man eat fruit  of thee hereafter forever in Mark 11:14, and it withered." 

The faith that said to Lazarus, "Come forth in John 11:43, and a dead man walked out of the tomb." 

That is the faith of the Son of God. 

Perfect faith, unwavering faith, faith that cannot fail because it's rooted in the nature of God Himself. 

And Galatians 2:20 reveals that this faith is in you,  not just available to you, in you, because Christ is in you. 

Colossians 1:27 says, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." 

He is not just with you. He is in you. 

And when He is in you, everything He is, is in you. 

His righteousness is in you. 

His life is in you. 

His love is in you. 

And His Faith is in you. 

You don't have to work it up. 

You don't have to develop it. 

It is already there.

The question is, are you accessing it? 

Now, let's see how this works practically. 

Romans 3:22 says, "Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe." 

The righteousness of God comes by the faith of Jesus Christ, not by your faith in Jesus Christ, it is  by His faith, the faith He has, the faith He exercised. 

And that faith produces righteousness in you. Not your faith working to make you righteous. 

It is His faith declaring you righteous because of what He did. 

Or look at Philippians 3:9. 

Apostle Paul says, "And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith." 

The righteousness that is of God comes through the faith of Christ. 

Again, not your faith in Christ, it is His faith, the faith that belongs to HIM. 

And that faith produces the righteousness of God in you. 

You're not trying to become righteous through your believing. You are righteous through His faith, His perfect, unwavering, absolute trust in the FATHER'S Word. 

This is revolutionary when you let it sink in because it means your righteousness, your acceptance, your standing before God is not dependent on the strength of your faith. 

It's dependent on the perfection of Christ's faith. 

And His faith is perfect, always, completely, unchangingly. 

Which means your righteousness is secure. 

Not because you believed well enough, because Jesus Christ believed perfectly and His faith is what established your position. 

Let me give you a vivid example of how this works.

 Imagine you're in a courtroom. You've been   accused. The evidence looks bad and you're told that your fate depends on how convincingly you can argue or prove your own case. So, you try. You present your arguments. You marshall your evidence. You work as hard as you can to prove your innocence. But you're not a lawyer. You don't know legal procedure. You're struggling. And your fate hangs on your ability to argue well enough. That's   your faith trying to save you. Your effort, your work, your ability. 

But now imagine a different scenario. The greatest lawyer in history steps in. He says, "I'm taking your case, not as your assistant, as your substitute. Your fate no longer depends on your arguments. It   depends on mine. And my arguments are perfect, flawless, irrefutable." 

That is the faith of the Son of God. His perfect advocacy, His flawless case, His irrefutable righteoysness. 

And when He represents you, when His faith is what establishes your standing, you're not hoping your faith is good enough. 

You're resting in the fact that His faith is perfect. That is Galatians 2:20. 

You're not defending yourself with your faith. 

Christ is living through you with His faith, and His faith has already won the case. 

Your righteousness is not on trial. 

It's established not by your believing, but by His perfect trust in the Father's declaration that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, according to 2 Corinthians 5:21. 

Now, how do you access this faith? 

How do you operate from the faith of the Son of God instead of trying to produce your own faith? 

The answer is in understanding your union with Christ. 

Galatians 2:20 says, "I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." 

Not l, but Christ. P

Apostle Paul is saying, "It's not me living anymore. It's Christ living through me." 

And if Christ is living through you, then everything He is, operates through you, including His faith. 

This is what Jesus Christ meant in John 15:5 when He said, "l am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth   much fruit. For without me, ye can do nothing." 

Apart from Him, you can do nothing. but abiding in Him, connected to Him, His life flows through you. 

His power operates through you. 

His faith works through you. 

You're not the source. You're the vessel. 

The branch doesn't produce the fruit. The vine does. 

The branch just stays connected and lets the life of the vine flow through it. 

Think about a branch on a vine. The branch does not try to produce grapes. 

It doesn't strive to make fruit happen. 

It doesn't work itself up into grape bearing mode. 

It simply stays connected to the vine. 

And as it abides, as it remains attached, the life of the vine flows through it and fruit appears. 

Not because the branch worked hard, because the vine is alive and the branch stayed connected. 

That's exactly how the faith of the Son of God operates in you. 

You don't produce it. You abide in Him. 

You stay connected. 

And His faith flows through you. 

Not your faith working, it is his faith operating. 

And His faith produces results because His faith is perfect. 

Powerfully explaination. 

When you understand that Christ's faith is in you, you stop trying to manufacture your own faith and start resting in His. 

You stop striving to believe and start abiding in the One who already believes perfectly. 

Your job is not to work up faith. 

Your job is to stay connected to Christ and let His faith operate through you. 

When you understand that Christ's faith is in you,   that is the shift. 

That is the rest. 

You're not producing faith. You're accessing faith. 

The faith of the Son of God. The faith that is already in you because He's in you. 

Here's where everything converges into one life altering truth. 

Every time you've struggled to believe, every time you've tried to work up faith, every time you felt like your faith wasn't strong enough, you were operating from the wrong faith. 

You were trying to produce your own faith in God instead of accessing Christ's faith in you. 

And your faith being human, being subjective, being dependent on your understanding and awareness rises and falls. It struggles. It waivers. It doubts. 

But Christ's faith never does. 

 His faith is perfect, constant, unwavering, and it's in you right now. 

This is what apostle Paul was revealing in Ephesians 2:8 when he wrote, "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." 

The faith that saved you is not of yourselves.

 It's not your faith.

 It's the gift of God.

 It's the faith of the Son of God. 

You didn't produce the faith that saved you. God gave it. 

Christ's faith accomplished it. And your salvation is secure not because you believed well enough, but because His faith is perfect. 

And if His faith saved you, if His faith established your righteousness, if His faith secured your position, then His faith can handle everything else. 

Healing, provision, peace, victory, everything you need. 

His faith is sufficient for, not your faith working to obtain it. 

His faith that already obtained it. 

You're not trying to believe for healing. 

You're resting in the faith of the Son of God who already secured healing, by His stripes according to first Peter 2:24. 

You're not trying to work up faith for provision. 

You're abiding in the faith of Christ who already promised that your God shall supply all your need according to Philippians 4:19. 

Do you see the difference? 

One approach puts all the pressure on you. The other rests everything on HIM. 

One depends on your ability to believe. The other depends on his perfect faith. One rises and falls 

 with your understanding. The other remains constant because he never changes. And which one do you think produces better results? The faith you manufacture or the faith he provides. 

 Let me show you how this works in daily life. You wake up and symptoms are screaming. Your old approach was to try 

 to work up faith for healing. You'd try to convince yourself you're healed. 

 You'd try to feel it. You'd try to believe it despite the evidence. And it was exhausting because you were trying to produce faith strong enough to

Nigerian Creole Language

Nigerian Creole: A Unique Blend of Languages in West Africa

Nigerian Creole, also called Nigerian Pidgin or Naijá, is a unique language that brings Nigerians together.

Nigerian Creole strips down English grammar to a more straightforward form, making it easier for people of various linguistic backgrounds to understand each other.

A blend of English with indigenous languages such as Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa, it serves as a lingua franca, bridging the communication gap among diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Nigerian Creole is so popular that it’s become the go-to language for many Nigerians in everyday life.

You might hear Nigerian Creole on the streets, markets, or TV and radio. It’s not just a simple mix of words – it’s a full language with its grammar and special phrases.

Nigerian Creole borrows words from English, Yoruba, Hausa, and many other languages spoken in Nigeria.

Learning some Nigerian Creole can help you if you visit Nigeria. It’s a fun way to connect with locals and better understand the culture.

Even simple phrases like “How you dey?” (How are you?) can make a big difference in your interactions.

Key Takeaways

• Nigerian Creole is a widely spoken language that helps unite Nigeria’s diverse population.

• It blends English with local languages, creating a unique and expressive communication tool.

• Learning Nigerian Creole can enhance your experience when visiting or doing business in Nigeria.

Historical Context

A bustling Nigerian port with ships unloading goods, traders bartering, and locals speaking a mix of Nigerian languages and Portuguese

Nigerian Creole emerged from complex interactions between European traders and West African peoples. The language developed over centuries, blending English with local tongues.

Its roots trace back to early colonial times and continue to evolve today.

Origins and Development

Nigerian Creole began in the 17th century when English traders arrived on the West African coast. Its start can be traced to pidgin languages used for trade.

These simple communication systems grew more complex over time. As generations passed, pidgin became a native language for many, evolving into a creole.

The language spread along trade routes and in urban areas, gaining speakers as people moved for work and commerce.

By the 20th century, Nigerian Creole had become widely used nationwide. Today, millions speak it as a first or second language.

Influence of Indigenous Languages

Local languages shaped Nigerian Creole in important ways. In its vocabulary and grammar, you’ll hear influences from Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa.

These languages gave Nigerian Creole unique features that set it apart from other English-based creoles.

Words from indigenous languages filled gaps where English terms didn’t exist. The creole’s sentence structure also shows local language impacts.

Tones and intonation patterns from Nigerian languages carried over. This mix created a distinct creole that reflects Nigeria’s linguistic diversity.

Linguistic Features

Nigerian Creole has unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation that set it apart from standard English. Its simplified structure and blend of languages make it accessible to many speakers.

Grammar and Syntax

Nigerian Creole uses a streamlined grammar system. Verb tenses are often simplified, with context indicating time.

For example, “I dey go” can mean “I am going” or “I will go” depending on the situation.

Pronouns are often gender-neutral. “Im” can refer to he, she, or it. Plural forms may be shown by adding “dem” after nouns.

Word order is usually subject-verb-object, like English. But questions don’t always invert subject and verb. “You dey go?” means “Are you going?”

Adjectives usually come before nouns. There’s no verb “to be” in many sentences. “Di food sweet” means “The food is delicious.”

Vocabulary and Expressions

Nigerian Creole vocabulary mixes English with local languages. Many common words come from Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa.

Some key expressions:

“Abeg” – Please

“How far?” – How are you?

“I dey kampe” – I’m fine

“Wahala” – Trouble

“K-leg” – Problem or flaw

“Abi?” – Right? (seeking agreement)

Food terms often use local names. “I wan chop” means “I want to eat.” “Garri” and “fufu” are staple foods.

Travel words reflect local conditions. “Go slow” means traffic jam. “Okada” is a motorcycle taxi.

Phonology

Nigerian Creole pronunciation blends English sounds with those of Nigerian languages. Some key features:

Th-stopping: “Th” often becomes “t” or “d.” “This” may sound like “dis.”

Final consonant deletion: Last consonants may drop. “Hand” becomes “han.”

Vowel changes: Some vowels shift. “Work” might sound like “wok.”

Tone plays a role, though less than in some Nigerian languages. Stress patterns can differ from standard English.

Rhythm tends to be syllable-timed rather than stress-timed. This gives Nigerian Creole a distinct musical quality.

Social and Cultural Impact

Nigerian Creole has deeply shaped communication and identity in Nigeria. It brings people together across ethnic lines and adds vibrancy to daily interactions.

Identity and Expression

Nigerian Creole lets you express yourself in unique ways. It blends local languages with English, creating a distinct identity. You can use it to show your “Nigerianness” and connect with others.

Many Nigerians see Creole as part of who they are. It’s not just words – it’s culture. You might use it with friends or family to feel closer. In music and movies, Creole adds local flavor.

Politicians sometimes use Creole to seem more relatable. It breaks down barriers between leaders and regular people. When you hear Creole in a speech, it can make the message feel more real.

Language in Daily Life

Creole pops up everywhere in Nigeria. You’ll hear it in markets as people bargain. Vendors might yell “Baff up!” to get your attention.

At restaurants, Creole makes ordering easier. You can ask for “mineral water” instead of a specific brand. It smooths out communication when exact words don’t matter.

Creole also helps in informal chats. You don’t need perfect English to get your point across, which makes talking to new people less scary.

But be careful—some places still consider Creole too casual. You might need to switch to standard English for formal stuff.

Pidgin and the Internet

Nigerian Creole is booming online. You’ll see it all over social media. People tweet and post in Creole to feel more authentic.

Memes and jokes often use Creole. This makes humor more relatable to Nigerians. However, you might not get the joke if you don’t know some Creole.

Websites are starting to use Creole, too, which helps more people access information. News in Creole can reach those who struggle with standard English.

But there’s a catch. Creole online isn’t always the same as spoken Creole. You might see new words or spellings pop up. The internet is changing how Creole grows and spreads.

Pidgin in the Nigerian Context

Nigerian Pidgin English plays a key role in communication across Nigeria. It bridges language barriers and serves as a common tongue for many.

Let’s explore how it functions as a lingua franca and compares to other languages used in the country.

Role as a Lingua Franca

Nigerian Pidgin English helps people from different ethnic groups talk to each other. You’ll hear it spoken in markets, schools, and streets.

It’s not the official language, but many Nigerians use it daily.

This pidgin blends English words with local languages, making it easy for people to pick up and use. It’s very common in big cities.

Even in rural areas, many folks understand basic Pidgin.

TV shows and music often use Pidgin. This spreads its use even more. For many, it’s a go-to language when they meet someone new.

Comparison with Indigenous and Official Languages

Nigerian Pidgin differs from both local languages and official English. It’s simpler than standard English but more widespread than many indigenous tongues.

Unlike official English, Pidgin doesn’t follow strict grammar rules. This makes it more flexible and accessible. You don’t need formal education to speak it well.

Compared to local languages, Pidgin reaches across ethnic lines. While Yoruba or Igbo might be limited to certain regions, Pidgin is used nationwide.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Feature¹ ; Nigerian Pidgin² ; Official English ³; Indigenous Languages⁴ .

• Reach¹ ; Nationwide² ; Nationwide ³; Regional⁴.

• Formality¹ ; Informal²; Formal³; Varies⁴.

• Grammar¹ ; Simplified²; Complex³; Varies⁴.

• Official Status¹ ; None²; Official³; Some recognized⁴.

Challenges and Preservation

Nigerian Creole faces issues with standardization and recognition in education. Efforts to maintain this language involve both formal and informal approaches.

Policy decisions play a key role in its future.

Standardization Efforts

Nigerian Creole lacks a standard written form, making it difficult to use in official settings. Some groups are working to create spelling rules and want to create a dictionary, too.

You can see different ways to write the same words, which can cause confusion. A standard form would help people learn and use the language better.

Linguists are studying Nigerian Creole grammar. They hope to describe its rules clearly, which could lead to textbooks and learning materials.

Educational and Policy Considerations

Nigerian Creole is not taught in Schools; instead, most classes use English. This disadvantages Creole speakers.

Some people think adding Creole to schools would help students learn and make education more accessible. Others worry it might hold students back in a global world.

The government has yet to officially recognize Nigerian Creole, which limits its use in media and public life. Changing this policy could give the language more support.

Community efforts keep the language alive. Radio shows and music use Creole. This helps preserve it even without official backing.

What are the linguistic features that distinguish Nigerian Creole from other pidgin languages?

Nigerian Creole has special features. It uses sounds from English and Nigerian languages, and its grammar is simpler than standard English.

Word order can differ; new words are often created by mixing languages. These traits make Nigerian Pidgin unique among pidgin languages.

A pidgin is a simple language made from other languages, used by people without a common tongue. Pidgins have no native speakers but can become full languages, known as creoles, over time. 

There are over 100 pidgin languages today, often in places with histories of colonialism, like West Africa.

English pidgins include Nigerian Pidgin English, Chinese Pidgin English, Hawaiian Pidgin English, Queensland Kanaka English, and Bislama (one of the official languages of the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu).

"A pidgin, is nobody's mother tongue, and it is not a real language at all: it has no elaborate grammar, it is very limited in what it can convey, and different people speak it differently. Still, for simple purposes, it does work, and often everybody in the area learns to handle it" 

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you?

      There is a difference between knowing someone lives in your house and actually spending time with them. You could share an address with someone for 20 years and  never once sit down and have a real conversation. 

Never once stop long enough to hear what they are thinking. 

 Never once give them the space to show you what they know, what they see, what they carry. 

They would be present technically but for all practical purposes absent from your daily experience and you would wonder quietly why the house feels so empty. 

That is the condition of most believers in relation to the Holy Spirit. 

They know He is there. They have the theology. 

 They can quote 1 Corinthians 3:16. 

 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you? 

They know it. They believe it. 

 They could defend it in a doctrinal discussion, but in the actual daily lived experience of their lives, the Holy Spirit is a theological fact they have accepted and a practical reality they have never entered. 

 He is present. 

They are not communing. 

 And the gap between those two things is the gap between a Christianity that looks right on paper and one that actually works in life. 

We identified this gap with surgical precision. 

 That the church as a whole is unfamiliar with the recreated spirit. 

 And what that unfamiliarity costs. It costs the believer the one thing that changes everything. 

Not more information about God, not more activity for God, but actual real daily communion with the One who lives inside them, the indwelling One, the Holy Spirit, who is not waiting in heaven for you to pray hard enough to get HIS attention, who is not absent from your daily life, waiting to be invited in, who is already there, already active, already speaking, already carrying everything you need for every situation you will ever face. 

He is waiting not to be invited but to be acknowledged, to be communed with, to be given the space to do in your daily experience what He has already done in your recreated spirit. 

Friend, today we are going to show you exactly how to do that. 

Not theory, not a list of spiritual disciplines to perform. 

The actual practical daily practice of communing with the indwelling One that we discovered across both the hidden man of the heart and in His PRESENCE.

 And by the time this teaching is finished, you will understand not just that the Holy Spirit lives in you, but how to actually be with HIM every single day. 

Because the house is not empty. It has never been empty. 

The One who took up residence in your recreated spirit at the new birth has never moved, has never  grown distant, has never gone quiet. 

The question has never been whether He is there. 

The question is whether you have been present with HIM. 

And starting today, that changes. 

But before we get into the practice, I want to sit with the image of the house for one more moment because it captures something that most believers recognize immediately when they hear it. 

 Imagine moving into a new home and the owner of the home, someone of extraordinary wisdom, extraordinary knowledge, extraordinary love for you, moves in with you, not as a guest, but as a permanent resident. 

They are there when you wake up. 

They are there when you go to sleep. 

They see every situation you face. 

They know exactly what to do in every circumstance. 

They carry the answer to every question you have ever asked. 

And you spend your entire time in that house watching television, scrolling through your phone, talking to everyone except them, not because you do not believe they are there. 

You know they are there. 

You signed the agreement. 

You accepted the arrangement. 

You are grateful for it. 

But you have never learned how to actually be with them. 

That is the condition of most of the body of Christ in relation to the Holy Spirit and it is the condition you spent your life trying to address because the indwelling One is not a background presence. 

He is not a theological footnote. 

He is the most extraordinary companion any human being has ever been given. 

And He is waiting right now inside you for the communion that was always the point. 

Before we get to the practice, we need to settle something that most believers have never settled. 

And until it is settled, no practice of communion will ever go deep enough to produce real change. 

The question is this, who exactly is the indwelling One? 

And what is He doing inside you right now? 

Because if you think of HIM primarily as a power  source, something you tap into when you need spiritual energy for a difficult situation, your communion with HIM will always feel transactional. 

You will come to HIM when you need something. 

You will leave when you have what you came for. 

 And the relationship will never develop beyond a spiritual vending machine you visit in moments of crisis. 

But today ,here is a completely different picture in the hidden man of the heart. 

 Know that he Holv Spirit was given to guide us into all truth or reality. 

He finds it a very difficult thing to lead our reasoning faculties. But it is the normal and natural thing for HIM to lead our spirits. 

Love is a product of the SPIRIT. 

Faith is a product of the SPIRIT. 

The Holy Spirit's primary ministry is not to your mind. It is not to your emotions. It is to your recreated spirit. 

He leads your spirit.  

He feeds your spirit. 

He develops your spirit. 

He communicates truth to your spirit in a language that bypasses the reasoning faculties entirely and drops directly into the inner man as a knowing, a certainty, a settled conviction that does not require the mind to understand it before it is real. 

This is why most believers miss HIS leading. 

They are looking for HIM to speak to their mind to give them a thought they can analyze and evaluate  and compare with their existing framework of understanding. 

But that is not primarily how He operates. 

He speaks to your spirit and your spirit communicates what it has received to your mind. 

Not the other way around. 

The spirit is the receiver. 

The mind is the processor. 

And if you have never learned to access your spirit, if you have never been taught to listen from the inside out rather than the outside in, you will spend your entire Christian life with the Holy Spirit speaking constantly to your inner man and your mind never picking up the signal. 

Now, in His PRESENCE that reframes the entire relationship. 

And I want you to hear this carefully. 

"The call to prayer is the FATHER'S invitation to visit with HIM. 

This is more than the consciousness of a great need that often drives us to intercession. 

It is the call of love to come and fellowship. 

It is really visiting with the FATHER. 

Few of us have realized the fact that the FATHER'S heart is hungry for the companionship of His children. 

The FATHER'S heart is hungry, not waiting patiently, not neutally available, hungry, longing, desiring the  fellowship that was designed from the beginning. 

The Face to face, Spirit-to-spirit daily intimate communion between God and the man and woman He created to be HIS companions. 

And the indwelling One, the Holy Spirit, Who has  taken up residence inside your recreated spirit, is the expression of that hunger. 

He is not there because you earned it. 

He is not there because of your spiritual performance. 

He is there because the FATHER wants to be with you every moment, in every situation, in every season. 

Which means every time you sit down to commune with the indwelling One, you are not interrupting your day to perform a spiritual obligation. 

You are giving God what He has been longing for. 

You are answering the hunger of the FATHER'S heart. 

And the indwelling One who has been patient and present through every season of your neglect meets you there with a fullness and a warmth and a communication that will make you wonder how you ever went a day without this. 

 That is the foundation. 

That is who He is. 

That is what He wants. 

Now let us talk about how to actually give it to HIM. 

But I want to add one more thing before we go there because I think it is the most practically liberating truth in this entire teaching. 

You do not have to earn access to the indwelling One. 

You do not have to perform well enough to deserve HIS communication. 

You do not have to wait until you are more consistent, more disciplined, more spiritually mature before you can begin communing with HIM. 

He is already inside you. 

He has already been given to you. 

The access is already open. 

The only thing standing between you and daily communion with the Holy Spirit is the same thing that has always stood between you and everything God has already provided. 

The knowledge of it and the decision to act on that knowedge. 

You now have the knowledge. 

The decision is yours. 

And everything from this point forward is about the practice. 

Four practices, four specific daily practical habits that together create the conditions in which real communion with the Holy Spirit becomes a daily lived reality rather than an occasional spiritual experience. 

Practice number one, deliberate stillness. 

The hidden man of the heart. 

Shut yourself in alone with your own spirit where the clamor of the world is shut out. 

That is not poetic language. 

That is a practical instruction. 

Communion with the indwelling One requires conditions. 

The primary condition is silence. 

Not the absence of noise necessarily, though that helps. 

But the deliberate quieting of the inner noise, the racing thoughts, the emotional reactions, the constant mental commentary on your circumstances, the planning and worrying and replaying that your mind does by default every  waking moment. 

Because the Holy Spirit speaks to your spirit in what scripture calls a still small voice, not because he is weak, but because that is the frequency of spirit communication. 

And you cannot tune into that frequency while the outer world is broadcasting at full volume into your mind. 

You have to create the conditions daily intentionally. 

You close the door. 

You silence the phone. 

You sit. 

You turn your attention deliberately inward away from your circumstances. 

Away from your to-do list. 

Away from everything the outer world is demanding and toward the inner man where the indwelling One lives and speaks and waits for you to be still enough to receive.

The term "closet" in the Bible, particularly in Matthew 6:6, refers to a private space where one can pray in secret to God. Jesus instructs His followers to enter their closet, shut the door, and pray to their Father who is unseen, emphasizing the importance of private communion with God.

God lives and speaks and waits for you to be still enough to receive. 

In His PRESENCE that one cannot spend an hour in conscious communion with the FATHER, the son, the spirit and the word without carrying away a fragrance that fills the atmosphere. 

That peace, that settledness, that quiet authority, that joy that does not depend on circumstances. 

It does not come from activity. 

It comes from PRESENCE. 

Practice number two, acknowledgement. 

This is simpler than most believers expect and more powerful than most believers realize. 

Every morning before anything else, you acknowledge the reality of the indwelling One out loud. 

Not as a ritual, but as a genuine deliberate recognition of Who is inside you. 

You say it plainly. Holy Spirit, you are inside me right now. You are not distant. You are not waiting to be invited. You are already here, already active, already speaking to my spirit and I acknowledge you. I welcome Your leadership today. I am listening. 

That is it. 30 seconds, maybe a minute. 

But what those 30 seconds do is remarkable. 

They set the orientation of your entire day. 

They position your inner man correctly before the outer world gets a chance to pull your attention outward. 

This acknowledgement remind your spirit and your mind that you are not facing this day alone. 

That the most extraordinary Companion any human being has ever been given is already present, already active, already ready to lead. 

In His PRESENCE.

 That the ability of the indwelling One in us is available to us at all times. 

Not sometimes, not in moments of special spiritual intensity at all times. 

But that availability has to be accessed and acknowledgment is the access point. 

The moment you turn your attention deliberately toward the One who is already inside you and say, I know You are here and I am paying attention, something shifts in your inner man.

 The signal gets clearer. 

The voice gets more distinct. 

The connection that was always there becomes the connection you are actually using. 

In John 14:17. Jesus said, "He dwelleth with you and shall be in you." 

After since the Pentecost, this Word is being fulfilled in the believers' lives daily, till today. 

Dwelleth, not visiting, dwelling permanently,  available at all times, waiting to be acknowledged. 

And the believer who begins every day with that acknowledgement begins to notice something remarkable. 

A nudge in an unexpected direction. 

A peace settling over anxiety. 

A knowing that arrives in the spirit as settled certainty. 

That is the indwelling One. 

Responding to the believer who has made themselves available to be led by the Spirit. 

Deliberate stillness, acknowledgment. 

Two practices simple daily. 

And together they begin to do something in your inner man that years of religious activity without them never could. 

They open the channel and once the channel is open, what flows through it will change everything. 

Neither practice requires a long block of time or a special atmosphere. 

They require one thing, the decision to show up. 

Stillness. 

Turn inward before the day begins. 

Give the inner man first access before the outer world takes it all. 

Acknowledgement. 

Speak out loud to the One already there. 

I know you are here. I am paying attention. 

 Two decisions made daily and the cumulative effect morning after morning is a relationship with the indwelling One that most believers have never experienced, not because it was unavailable, because no one told them it was this simple. 

Practice number three, listening prayer. 

Very specific about this in His PRESENCE. 

Know that prayer is a visit with our FATHER. 

We should think of it as a rare opportunity, a visit. 

And when you visit someone, the conversation goes both ways. 

You talk and you listen. 

You share and you receive. 

You bring your heart and you hear their hearts. 

Most believers have mastered the talking part of prayer. 

They come to God with their long list, their needs, their requests, their problems, and they present everything faithfully and then they leave. 

But without ever stopping to listen, without ever giving the indwelling One space to respond, without ever creating the silence in which HIS voice to their spirit can be recognized. 

 Listening prayer is the practice of coming to the secret place and after you have spoken, stopping,   waiting, paying attention to your inner man, not manufacturing a response, not projecting what you think God would say, simply waiting and noticing. 

Is there a peace settling over your spirit about something you have been anxious about? 

Is there an unease in your inner man about a decision you have been considering?

Is there a knowing, a quiet certainty dropping into your spirit about a situation you have been seeking direction on? 

That is the indwelling One communicating with your recreated spirit. 

And listening prayer is the practice of being quiet enough and attentive enough to receive it. 

Most believers have never tried this, not because they do not believe the Holy Spirit speaks, but because they have never been given permission to simply wait and listen in prayer. 

They feel the pressure to keep talking, to keep presenting, to keep filling the silence with words. 

But the most powerful moments in prayer are often the silent ones. The moments after the words stop. 

 The moments when the inner man, quieted by the stillness, positioned by the acknowledgment, becomes receptive to what the indwelling One has been trying to communicate. 

Psalm 4 6:10. Be still and know that l am God. 

Be still and know, the knowing comes through the stillness. 

Not through more talking, not through more activity, but through the deliberate, patient practice of becoming quiet enough to receive what has already been spoken into your spirit. 

Practice number four, word-based communion. 

This is where in the hidden man of the heart that the Word is the food of the spirit. 

And in His PRESENCE  that the Word is one of the four realities present in the secret place of communion. 

The FATHER, the son, the holy spirit and the Word all four together in conscious communion 

And the Word is not sebarate from the indwelling One in this context.

 It is HIS voice. 

The primary way He communicates objective truth to the spirit. 

And when you come to the secret place with the Word, when you read it slowly, meditate on it, let it drop into your inner man, you are not just studying scripture. 

You are communing with the One who inspired it, who lives inside you, who is speaking it to your spirit in real time as you receive it. 

Here is what this looks like practically. 

You take one verse, just one verse, not a chapter, not a reading plan, one verse that speaks to something you are believing God for, something you are   standing on, something you need to become more real in your spirit than it currently is. 

And you read it slowly out loud. 

You close your eyes and you let it drop into your inner man. 

You say it again. 

You sit with it. 

You ask the indwelling One, "Show me what this means. Show me what this looks like in my situation. Let this word become alive  in my spirit." 

And then you wait in the stillness listening. 

Because the indwelling One, the One who inspired every Word of scripture is inside you. 

1And when you bring the Word into the secret place and ask HIM to illuminate it, He does. 

Not always immediately, not always in ways the mind can fully articulate. 

But in the spirit, in the deep inner man, something lights up. 

Something becomes clear. 

Something that was information in the mind becomes conviction in the spirit. 

And that conviction is what carries you through the day, through the circumstance, through the opposition, through the moments when everything the outer world is reporting contradicts what the Word declares. 

Because you were not just in the Word this morning. 

You were with the One the Word is about and something of HIM stayed with you when you left the secret place. 

That is Word-based communion .

That is the fourth practice.

And together deliberate stillness, acknowledgement, listening prayer, and Word-based communion. 

These four practices create something no single spiritual discipline can produce alone. 

A relationship daily lived growing with the indwelling One who has always been there waiting for exactly this. 

Now I want to show you what changes when these four practices become your daily reality because the change is not dramatic in the moment.

 It is cumulative over time. 

Every day of genuine communion adds to what was built the day before and at some point the accumulation reaches a threshold that produces something qualitatively different from anything you have experienced before. 

We describes it in the hidden man of the heart as spirit consciousness.

 An awareness of your spirit and what the indwelling One is saying to it that operates not just in the quiet of the secret place but throughout the entire day. 

In the middle of a conversation, while you are making a decision at work,  while you are navigating a difficult relationship, while you are facing a situation that would normally produce anxiety or confusion or fear, the inner man developed through daily communion,  is now loud enough, sensitive enough, and strong enough to be heard over all of that. 

And the indwelling One who has been given consistent access through daily acknowledgement and listening is now communicating with a clarity that the believer who has never developed this practice cannot imagine. 

This is what we called walking in the spirit. 

Not a mystical experience, not a heightened emotional state. 

A practical daily reality in which the recreated spirit in fellowship with the indwelling One is leading the soul and the body. 

 Where decisions are made from the inside out.

 Where peace is not dependent on circumstances. 

Where wisdom flows from the inner man into every situation before the reasoning faculties have had time to panic. 

Galatians 5:16. Walk in  the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

Walk, not occasionally visit, not periodically access. 

Walk a continuous daily moment-by-moment movement through life from the position of the spirit rather than the position of the five senses. 

 And that walk is built through the four practices, not through one dramatic encounter that changes everything. 

 Through the daily consistent, unglamorous choice to show up in the secret place and commune with the One who is always already there. 

In His PRESENCE.  About a mother who told her children that she had forgotten to visit the Master that morning, and so she lacked His quietness and His strength. 

She knew the difference. When she had communed, she carried something nothing else could produce. When she had not, the absence was felt as a practical deficit. Anxious where she would have been peaceful. Weak where she would have been strong. Reactive where she would have been settled. That is the daily difference communion makes. 

Not dramatic, not spectacular, practical, quiet, consistent. 

 The difference between a believer who is governed by their circumstances and one who carries something that their circumstances cannot touch. 

The difference between a Christianity that is real in doctrine and one that is real in daily experience. 

 And here is what I want you to understand about that difference. 

It is not reserved for the spiritually elite. 

 It is the natural result of a simple daily decision made consistently over time to commune with the One who has been waiting for exactly that. 

Romans chapter 8 verse 14. For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 

 As many, not a select few, as many as are led by the spirit of God. 

And being led by the spirit of God begins with   learning to commune with the spirit of God, begins with the stillness. 

The acknowledgment, the listening, the Word  begins with showing up in the secret place and giving the indwelling One what He has always desired. 

Your presence, your attention, your time, and what He gives you in return is everything you have been looking for in every other place. 

Now I want to speak to the believer who has tried this before and fallen off. 

Who made the commitment and could not keep it. 

Who carries quiet shame about the gap between who they want to be spiritually and the consistency they have actually managed. 

Hear this clearly. 

The indwelling One has not been marking your inconsistency. 

He has not been withdrawing further with each missed day. 

He has been there the entire time. 

Patience, present, unchanging. 

And the moment you return, the moment you sit down again and acknowledge HIM again and open the Word again, the communion resumes exactly where it left off without penalty, without a waiting period. 

The secret place is not somewhere you earn access to. 

It is where you were placed at the new birth. 

And the indwelling One who lives there with you is never the One who moves away. 

You simply return and He is there. 

So let me close with the most important thing in this entire teaching. 

Everything we have covered. The stillness, the acknowledgement, the listening prayer, the Word-based communion, all of it is built on a foundation that most believers have never truly understood. 

 And without that foundation, the practices become religious exercises rather than genuine communion. 

The foundation is this. 

The indwelling One wants this communion more than you do. 

 In His PRESENCE that the FATHER'S heart is hungry for the companionship of His children. 

His heart hunger is the reason for man and the reason for redemption. 

The entire plan of salvation, the cross, the   resurrection, the new birth, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 

All of it was designed not just to rescue you from hell, but to restore the fellowship that was lost in the garden. 

The Face-to-face, Spirit-to-spirit daily intimate communion between God and the man He created to be His companion and associate. 

That is what the FATHER has always wanted. 

That is what He still wants. 

That is why the indwelling One took up residence inside your recreated spirit at the new birth. 

Not as a power source, not as a theological fact, as a companion, seeking the fellowship that God has always desired with the being He created in His own image and likeness. 

Which means every time you sit down to commune with the indwelling One, you are not performing a spiritual duty. 

You are not checking a box. 

You are not doing something for God. 

You are giving God what He has been longing for, and He meets you there with a fullness, a warmth, and a communication that will make you wonder how you ever went a day without this. 

Here is your starting point. 

Not a full overhaul, not a 20-step program, one decision. 

Tomorrow morning, before anything else gets your attention, you give the indwelling One 15 minutes.

 You sit, you acknowledge HIM, you listen, you bring one verse, and let HIM speak to your spirit through it. 

You do not perform. 

You do not produce. 

You simply show up and you do it again the next day and the day after that. 

And you watch what begins to happen in your inner man as the communion that was always available becomes the communion you are actually walking in. 

Because the house is not empty. 

It has never been empty. 

And the One who has been living there, patiently, present, waiting, is not waiting for you to become more worthy or more consistent or more spiritual before He shows up. 

He is already there. 

He has always been there. 

And the moment you sit down and  turn inward and say, "I know you are here and I am paying attention, everything changes." 

Write these words on a piece of paper, I commune   with the Holy Spirit daily right now. 

Not as a description of where you are. 

But as a declaration of where you are going, as the commitment of a believer who has understood finally that the most extraordinary relationship   available to any human being is not found in a church service or a conference or a dramatic spiritual encounter. 

It is found in the secret place every morning with the One who has been waiting there all along. 

The house is not empty. Go home. 

And when you get there, when you sit down in the stillness and turn your attention toward the One who is already present, you will discover something that no sermon, no teaching, no theological position can fully prepare you for. 

You will discover that the relationship you have been longing for with God, with your FATHER, with the One who created you and redeemed you and placed HIS SPIRIT inside you has been available every single morning of your Christian life. 

You simply had to come home to find it. 

Now you know the way.
