Part 4
So,, I come to believe that Jesus was the sinless Son of God who became human in order to be the sacrifice needed to take away the sins of the world for all time. The next question I have is: "Why did my sin need to be taken away, and especially by the death of Jesus?"
So, I read in Romans 6:6-10 says
"..knowing this, that our old man (sinful self) was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him, For the death that He died, He died to sin once and for all, but the life that He lives, He lives to God."
and further in this chapter, Paul writes. " For you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. but now having been set free from sin, you have, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." ( Romans 6:20-23)
This tells me that the difference between being a believer in Jesus or a disbeliever is that sin brings death to all, but those who believe in Jesus receive eternal life.
Well, my next question is: Why is it so good to have eternal life with God in Jesus Christ?
And for me, I guess the answer to this question is, first, the alternative is eternal death without God in hell. Revelations (20:11-15)
But the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ which is the result of His sacrificial death on the cross to take away my sin and reconcile me to God, who is absolutely pure and sinless. Is this something I desire?

With that being said and out of the way, what does the Bible and believers mean when they refer to God, Jesus, and H.S. as being in us? If literally taken, it sounds like "in our bodies". I think most would reply, "In our heart", though I don't think it is meant our physical heart. Is it? Or is it our whole body? I'm asking myself (please excuse me), who or what would want to dwell there; it is somewhat disgusting and somewhat foul smelling in there. I'm almost sure there's a simple answer to this that I can accept as truth. Any help would be appreciated. Peace to all.
Sometimes I unload on the devil too. He tried to take my life at age 36. I had a vision and in it, I saw Jesus! He was sitting on a pure white horse, looking straight into my eyes. I was saved and delivered of evil spirits. Next morning I woke up and the Holy Spirit was inside of me, speaking. He taught me how to stay free. What to say and do. My walk with Jesus has been close, since. I'm alive because of His Will, not mine. I pray every day for people to wake up from the spirit of slumber. It clouds our minds so we forget to pray for those fast tracking to hell. I saw hell too. No one wants to go there.
It's deep darkness with roots, slimes of filth no one can perceive. You can't see but you can hear screams. People are twisted in the roots, unable to move. It's NOT a rock n roll party with every rock star that died without Christ.
It's just not glamorous at all.
We are still here to pray for people we know, and people we don't know yet. I pray for God to send the angels to those who are not free, cannot see, cannot hear. On drugs or drink.
We're on a rescue mission; stealing souls from the Thief.
America doesn't know yet, that our Nation is in a deadly drought; not enough water enough for all. Why are we not fasting and praying? No rain, no fertilizer, no crops, empty grocery stores. It's happening and most don't SEE it is. We're going to see national mass deaths in other countries, on tv maybe. Media doesn't want us to know how bad it is. That's why populations are migrating to USA. We think we're so privileged. We can't see the drought. Hoover Dam is almost dry!
Open your eyes. Forget 60,000$ cars!! Water is almost gone. Google HAARP, Cloud Seeding. Pray for rain every day. If you're a doubter look up DISASTERS IN THE WORLD TODAY on YouTube.
