Deuteronomy 30:19

New King James Version (NKJV)

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

I have been doing a study on the occult in holywood and the music industry. It is chilling how many artists are using mediums and conjuring up spirits to help them perform and achieve great fame and fortune. I just was so taken back by my findings. It just had me wondering how many Christians actually believe that we are the indwelling of the Holy spirit. If anyone does not understand what the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is here is a link that fully explains it http://www.truthnet.org/Holy-Spirit/5HolySpirit-Indwelling/Index.htm

God lives in us and we can do all things throught Christ Jesus who strenthens us.

Philippians 4:13

New King James Version (NKJV)

13 I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.
Our lack of faith can hinder the power of God. So even though he lives in us we can still be opporating at less power then we need in order to accomplish our God given goals.

Hebrews 11

New King James Version (NKJV)

By Faith We Understand

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Faith at the Dawn of History

4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; [a] for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Faithful Abraham

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child[b]when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

The Heavenly Hope

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them,[c] embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

The Faith of the Patriarchs

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,”[d] 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped,leaning on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

The Faith of Moses

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.
24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in[e] Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

By Faith They Overcame

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again.
Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. 36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted,[f] were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— 38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.






What happens with the Holy Spirit dwelling in us? 

Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they receive the Holy Spirit, which would result in power.  The Greek word for power is duvnamiß Dunamis, from this word, we have the word dynamite, the word means strength power, ability.  The Holy Spirit not only transforms us into a new creation, we receive power to do the work at hand. 
We may look the same on the outside, but inside we are a new creation, we are born again, with the Holy Spirit and His power.  On Pentecost, the Spirit came upon the disciples, equipping them with power to bring the gospel forth from Jerusalem.    The power of the Spirit was not only for the disciples in Jerusalem, but also for us. 
We can apply the benefits and power of the Spirit in our own lives, understanding what the Spirit does in our life. 
1. The Holy Spirit is our teacher guiding us into truth (See also John 16;13, I Cor. 2:10-11 
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.  John 14:26 
2. The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf  
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans 8:26-27 
3. The Holy Spirit gives us joy and peace 
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 
4. The spirit gives us gifts for ministry (Ephesians 2;8) 
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
I Corinthians 12:4-7 
5. The Spirit gives us boldness to witness (I Tim. 3:13) 
And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4;31 
6. The Spirit gives us power  (Zechariah 4:6)

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  Ephesians 3:16
 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,  Ephesians 1;19-20 
7. The Spirit gives us the power to live godly lives 
"I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Ezekiel 36:27 
8. The Spirit helps us to pray 
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saintsEphesians 6:18 
9. The Spirit gives us wisdom and revelation 
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints 
Ephesians 1:17-18 
10.  God the Father speaks through us by the Spirit 
 "for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.  Matthew 10:20 
            The Holy Spirit, who dwells with us, gives us power which the world does not comprehend.  For many of us the potential, which dwells within us, is never realized because we will not take God at His word.                                                                                     

If people are willing to sell their souls for eternal damnation just to experience fame and fortune in this life which is but a vapor, Then why haven't we seen much more from the lives of the Christian who receive eternal glory and life evermore. The bible says we are here for a moment and gone the next. So we need to have more faith in order to do the work God has called us to do. God is counting on us to witness to the lost and we need his power to succeed in this dark and evil world. He has set before you life and death, choose life and faith, and power in his name. Amen! If you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and savior and asked him to dwell or live in you. You can do so now.

Heavenly Father, I come before you and I confess that I believe in your son Jesus Christ That he died for my sins and rose again on the third day. I believe he sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and lead us in our daily lives. I believe Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead and that those who believe in him will live eternally with him in heaven. I believe that those who do not believe will suffer eternal damnation. Please father send me the Holy spirit to dwell in my heart and fill me with your presence. Forgive me and cleanse me from sin that I may be a new creation in Christ Jesus. Help me to fulfill your purpose in my life and give me faith to believe your words of truth. Amen!
