Does Jesus live richly in you or is He just a nondescript Bible figure?

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

I lived into my mid thirties thinking Jesus would be helpful when I died but I needed someone to help me fight my battles today. I was deeply mistaken about Jesus until I personally witnessed His greatness and glory. I have never missed a day living with Him since my first meeting. I am an insignificant and lost man without Jesus.

The words of Jesus come to a believer through the Bible and His voice speaking to His people.

The words of Jesus are alive and powerful. They transform a man into the character of the Living Christ. 

The Word is like a sharp two edged sword piercing your heart and personality and discerning your every thought and action.

The Word brings purity to your thoughts and actions and convicts of impure motives and compulsive behaviors. 

The Christ follower is built in the workmanship of Jesus for good works. 

He is a powerful light for Jesus in His words and his demeanor reflects the unconditional love and joy of Jesus. People see the songs of joy and admiration enveloped through His words.

He is humble and meek and does not boast or speak flattering words.

The disciple of Jesus prays seeking the will of God, reads the Bible, and listens for the voice of Jesus. He becomes a powerful light for Jesus. The people in His life see the Living Christ without him speaking a single word about Jesus or the Bible.

The secret is giving the Holy Spirit authority over your life. He lives inside you and brings the reality and presence of Jesus into every moment of life. He takes the words of Jesus and transforms a man into a fountain of Living Water touching all those who cross his path.

Please reach out to me if you have questions or need prayers. I will respond promptly. The Words of Jesus are a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway. They are the most valuable and priceless asset in your life!
