Where did you get the notion that God is within everyone???

It seems to me that God made everything that exists from His imagination. The only Life in anything that exists in the material world, is God.

“In him we live and move and have our being”.

We were told that the Kingdom of God is within us; and that if we would seek that Kingdom, all else would be added to us.

What could we possibly find within, which would lead to ‘all else’, unless the ‘thing’ within is God?

God is the only thing that is Real; all of creation is God expressing Himself.

It’s the only thing that makes sense.

As Tennyson wrote,

Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet. Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.

Jesus is in everyone who accepts him as Savior, and his forgiveness. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, who comes to all who receive him, after Jesus ascended into Heaven. God’s presence is always with us. Those who live with the Holy Spirit are in constant awareness of his presence. The book of ACTS.

Nothing was done away with, until Jesus comes to take the Church (Rapture). Paul the Apostle (Saul of Tarsus) wrote Corinthians, about Gifts, and he was not even a Christian, until after Jesus had died, resurrected, and ascended...

Surely you know more bible than that...

Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

And surely you know that not every person has the Spirit of God within them...

Joh_3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

One must be born again before he can be indwelt with the Holy Spirit...
