Notes
I aim to eliminate the stigma surrounding prayer
How is your prayer life?
Do you mainly pray when you get in trouble?
Do you only pray when you are with other believers?
Do you pray when you are alone?
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Anyone that receives the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is a new creation in Christ.
New - Original, unused, fresh, never existed before
You underwent a spiritual transformation, but your soul and body remained unchanged.
John 14:23
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Every child of God has the spirit of God in him
The nature of God lives in me
The life of God is in me
He is not distant; He is near
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
The Holy Spirit lives in me
2 Corinthians 6:16
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”
God Himself dwells in me
Colossians 1:27
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Christ lives in me
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Christ lives in me
Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me
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.
Greater is He who is in me, than he that is in the world
The fruit of the spirit resides in me
The gifts of the spirit are in me
Resurrection power is in me
The word of God is in me
He is omnipresent meaning He is always, everywhere, at the same time.
His presence is not equally evident everywhere.
