I’m reminded of a question that one of Jesus’ disciples asked Him in John chapter 14:22; “…how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not unto the world?”
Personally, I’m very interested in Jesus being manifested to the world, and like this disciple, it’s not enough for me to have experienced myself, but the world must be made to know as well. The question is how? Well, Jesus gave us His answer in the verse that follows. He spoke of those who love Him and who obey His word; He said that they would become His abode. How will He manifest Himself to the world? Through His people that’s how; when we truly become His abode’s – when we become bodies wholly filled and flooded with God Himself (Ephesians 3:19 Amp).
We’re raising up an army of Holy Ghost filled Abodes, who know who they are, who are bringing a flood of God’s glory to the nation of India & beyond. As we walk in the reality of whom God has called us to be, He will be able to manifest Himself to the world through us, and the cry of our heart will be fulfilled: To become all that we’ve been called to be, that all may know the truth about Him!
Powerful statement !
Just we will keep moving ahead for His Glory.
I personally love the term “Abode” because it is close to the word “AbLode “( with “L” between the letters b and o ; Ablode is a word in the first spoken national language of my country, Togo) which means Liberty or Freedom. I don’t know how to connect it the spiritual field , but just it means something very important to us.
Thanks Mike for sharing this idea,
