\u00a0<\/p>\n

For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
<\/em>Isaiah 9:6-7 (Amplified)<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I reflected on our Father\u2019s greatest gift to us, Jesus Christ, I remembered the song,\u00a0\u201cOh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel.\u201d<\/em> The entire world rejoiced when God dressed Himself in human flesh and came to live with us<\/em><\/strong>! That is hard to conceive! How could the God who created heaven and earth, breathed His life into filthy dirt, then zipped Himself up in that dirt and became a human being<\/em>?\u00a0Unfathomable! My brain can\u2019t compute! You think that is amazing, He did something even more unimaginable than that.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only is God Emmanuel<\/strong> (God with us<\/strong>), but He is also \u201cChristos en Hymin.\u201d<\/em> Woooooooo!\u00a0\u201cChristos en Hymin.\u201d<\/em> For all of us who gave our hearts and lives to Jesus the Christos<\/strong>, God lives IN YOU!\u00a0<\/strong>The world can rejoice in Emmanuel, but only those who have been born-again into the family of God can sing \u201cChristos en Emoi\u00a0<\/em>(CHRIST IN ME) <\/strong>and Christos en Hymin\u00a0<\/em>(CHRIST LIVES IN YOU)<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Our Father\u2019s greatest gift to us and who lives inside us\u00a0forever<\/em>\u00a0is\u00a0Jesus the Christ<\/strong>. Let me share with you who lives inside you this very second.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>WITHIN US DWELLS THE WONDERFUL COUNSELOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to\u00a0sympathize and understand<\/strong>\u00a0our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been\u00a0tempted<\/strong>\u00a0[knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Hebrews 4:15 (Amplified)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus knows each one of us intimately. He knows every thought we think and feels every emotion we feel. We can turn inwardly to Him in our moment of distress. He loves us and cares deeply for everything that concerns us.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WITHIN US DWELLS THE MIGHTY GOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who is the King of Glory? The Lord Strong and Mighty, the Lord Mighty in battle.
<\/em>Psalm 24:8 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In our day-to-day experiences, some of us keep Jesus, the\u00a0Mighty God<\/strong>, at a distance, up in the heavens somewhere. The truth be told, there is no place He is not, but His joy and pleasure are to reveal to us who He is within<\/em> us\u2026 Our Mighty God!<\/strong>\u00a0What does the title mean to be\u00a0Mighty<\/strong>? The word, Mighty<\/strong> describes Jesus Christ within us<\/em>\u00a0as\u00a0strong, powerful, courageous, brave, never flinching from difficulties, valiant, warrior, and champion of every battle<\/em>. Because He lives\u00a0within us<\/em>, He has made us more than conquerors as we experience His Life. By faith, we will share one victory after victory.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WITHIN US DWELLS THE EVERLASTING FATHER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Philip said unto Jesus, \u201cLord, show us the Father, and then we will be satisfied.\u201d Jesus said to him, “Have<\/em>\u00a0I been with you for so long a time, and you do not know Me, yet. <\/em>Do you not believe that?
<\/em>I am in the Father, and the Father is IN Me?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>John 14:8-10 (Amplified)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ came to us as a Son but drew His essence and Life from His Eternal Father, living\u00a0within<\/em> Him. He demonstrated how to live life from another source rather than our own. He also showed us how tender, loving, kind, patient and merciful our Heavenly Father is. All we ever known of our Father was from the Old Testament, one to be feared and kept at a distance, however, never again will we see our Father that way when we see Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WITHIN US DWELLS THE PRINCE OF PEACE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The men wondered in amazement, saying, \u201cWhat kind of man is this,
<\/em>that even the winds and the sea obey Him?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Matthew 8:27 (Amplified)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus lives within<\/em> us as\u00a0Prince<\/strong>,\u00a0commander, general, ruler, leader, elder, captain, chief, overseer, and governor<\/em>\u00a0over everything and everyone. We can limit His power within us by\u00a0doubting\u00a0<\/em>Him and His capabilities in our lives but that never changes the fact of who He is.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is the Prince of Peace\u00a0<\/strong>over fear, depression, chaos, darkness, turmoil, confusion, worry, and anxiety; He Is Our<\/strong>\u00a0Peace!\u00a0<\/strong>What does the\u00a0Prince of Peace<\/strong>\u00a0do? When we turn to Him\u00a0within us<\/em>:<\/p>\n
