You are the place. Part 3

The World Will Hate Us

• We want life just to love us, but it the Bible says that the world actually hates us. 
• They did not applaud Christ, and they will not applaud you. 
• Everywhere you go, the place of God goes with you. You and God are inseparable! 

John 15:17-22 AMPC

17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world [no longer one with it], but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you.20 Remember that I told you, A servant is not greater than his master [is not superior to him]. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word and obeyed My teachings, they will also keep and obey yours.21 But they will do all this to you [inflict all this suffering on you] because of [your bearing] My name and on My account, for they do not know or understand the One Who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin [would be blameless]; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

John 15:24-27 AMPC

24 If I had not done (accomplished) among them the works which no one else ever did, they would not be guilty of sin. But [the fact is] now they have both seen [these works] and have hated both Me and My Father. 25 But [this is so] that the word written in their Law might be fulfilled, they hated Me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. 27 But you also will testify and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

John 16:1-2 AMPC

1 I have told you all these things, so that you should not be offended (taken unawares and falter or be caused to stumble and fall away). [I told you to keep you from being scandalized and repelled.]2 They will put you out of (expel you from) the synagogues; but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think and claim that he has offered service to God.

• People do things in the name of God, and it is not even God. Yet they think they are doing God’s work. 

John 16:3-8 AMPC 

3 And they will do this because they have not known the Father or Me. 4 But I have told you these things now, so that when they occur you will remember that I told you of them. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to Him Who sent Me, yet none of you asks Me, where are You going? 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts [taken complete possession of them]. 7 However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you].8 And when He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God) and about judgment.

• Jesus had to leave, so the Spirit of God could come. 
• The Bible tells us if anyone has accepted Jesus as their Lord and personal Savior, the Spirit of God has moved on the inside of them. 
• Then we can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit — the switch-on! 
• We are endued with power from on High and have the operation of the Spirit in us and among us. 
• He lives within me.

Are We Letting Him Live Through Us?

• Do you live like God lives on the inside of you? 
• You can’t go to the whorehouse when you have a revelation that God lives in your belly. 
• You can’t watch pornography when you know God lives on the inside of you. 
• You can’t shoot something when you know you have become the temple of the Holy Ghost. Those things change. 
• Sometimes people believe more in the power the enemy has over people than what God has to deliver the person.
• I am not looking at the druggie as an impossible case; they are the potential son and daughter of the Highest God. 
• If I pray, believe, and utter things God wants me to say and offer them love, I can turn them someone that is going to hell to someone going to Heaven. 
• That is the love of God in operation. 
• God was not looking to leave Heaven; He is in Heaven – the Father is there. Jesus went, returned, took the seat and took us to the seat in Ephesians chapters 1 and 2 
• But who is on the earth? The Spirit of God was sent to the earth. Why? To dwell within us, the believers. 
• We are always trying to get people to the church place. But the revelation is that you are the Church. 
• You are a place, and you are the church place. It goes everywhere you go.
• Just like Jesus went about doing good and healing all that were sick and oppressed of the enemy – you can do that. 
• When you stretch your hands out, it’s like Jesus stretching His hands out. 
• When you speak, it’s God’s speaking.
• There is a revelation about to hit that the Word Himself, by the power of the Holy Spirit, lives in the belly of this individual. 

John 14:23 AMPC

Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.
