Scripture is virtually always fitting to pray and certainly wise to pray.

These trying times have many Christians dragging emotionally if not wholesale depressed and fearful.

SCRIPTURE IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO ADJUST OUR CONSTRUCTIONS ON REALITY TOWARD GOD'S CONSTRUCTIONS ON REALITY--HIS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT MATTER. HIS REALITY IS THE ONLY REAL, LASTING, DECISIVE REALITY.

GOD ALONE IS WORTHY.

GOD ALONE IS OUR PROVISION, HIGH TOWER, COMFORT, PEACE, JOY, . . . WE OVERCOME BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY.

The Scripture as prayer and conscious confession as fact is a great testimony to our own spirit, our own mind, our own emotions, to the world and certainly to the enemy . . . as well as to God and our angels who LOVE TO PERFORM GOD'S WORD IN OUR LIVES AS WE AFFIRM IT.

BLESSED BE THE NAME AND WORD OF THE LORD.

Agree 100%! This without a doubt works. However, you have to really believe. A few days here and there is not going to to work.

For those of you that are interested or a bit intimidated by the Bible. I suggest to pick up the book Knowing the Bible 101 by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz. This is an excellent book for beginners. It's will assist you in understanding the Bible.

Excellent

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns — April 6, 2009:
I heard in the realm of the spirit a sound that reminded me of a clock, and I saw a pendulum moving back and forth marking time. And I felt a sense of urgency with the thought that time is marching on and time is short. In a vision I saw a perfect white horse, excited, pawing the air, ready to go. Then, I saw warriors worshiping the night before battle. Then, they arose and were being dressed in pure white battle attire and girded with swords. The warriors came together, resolute, one army of the Lord. I saw them silent, listening, watching, waiting — awesome, righteous, strong, focused, prepared for battle. Then, the vision changed and I saw a pure-bred black Arabian horse, and again saw warriors the night before a battle, but these were celebrating, drunk, being entertained by belly dancers, and I believed that these warriors represented the powers of darkness, Satan’s army.

And, I was reminded of this scripture: 1 Kings 20:11 So the king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.’” Satan is destined for defeat!

um...technically speaking...He is in us.
I say this for the new believer's clarification, that their understanding of such a matter is clarified and not as a mere kill-joy to the verses cited (great post BTW Quix) above.

the three stations of the Holy Spirit...

“para”..beside, alongside, or, sometimes translated as “with”...this is the position of God's Spirit to all men, wooing men to Him, and enabling men to seek and find Him. Seen in John 14:16...”And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;”

“en”...in, inside...this is the position of God's Spirit upon salvation, justification, as the Holy Spirit resides in us. Seen in John 14:17...”[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”

“epi”...upon...where God's Spirit comes upon a justified believer, in power, enabling men to work God's work in the power of His Spirit. Seen in Acts 2:3...”And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.”

but “in Christ”...as a preposition, not so much.

We are the body of Christ in that we are united in His suffering and redemption, but we are not "his body". We are the bride of Christ.

We are believers in Christ, as in we “believe in”, “trust in”, “hope in”, yes, but not “in” as “inside”. Much as I believe in the sun...I see it, can feel it's warmth and such, but I am not inside the sun.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

John 14:20 (The Message)

18-20”I will not leave you orphaned. I’m coming back. In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you’re going to see me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive. At that moment you will know absolutely that I’m in my Father, and you’re in me, and I’m in you.

John 14:20 (Amplified Bible)

20At that time [when that day comes] you will know [for yourselves] that I am in My Father, and you [are] in Me, and I [am] in you.

John 14:20 (Young’s Literal Translation)

20in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you;

---

I’ll choose to accept the wording just as it reads, to me. Christ said it. I believe it. It’s that simple, to me.

Sounds like a mystical truth that is exceedingly true because Christ said it whether I can wrap my carnal understanding around it to your or anyone else’s satisfaction or not.

Thank you, dear Quix.

Many believe “of” Christ. Those that have the relationship with him believe “in” Christ. The branch abides “in” the vine. Only then will the sap of grace flow.
