Covenant Concepts are the interconnection of Jesus with and in me and me being with and in Jesus. The book of John in scripture is full of this interconnection. So whatever is said about Jesus is also true of me. We don’t look or act differently. This is a true Christian at the deepest level.
During and immediately following the “infilling”, I became strongly aware of Jesus. “Jesus, you are in me!” “Jesus, you are right here!” (Right inside my upper chest by my heart and the Vega nerve.) Up to this point in my life the Holy Spirit has been around and I can find him if I try, but, most of the time I did my thing and called Him and talked with him if I needed Him. Now, Jesus; the Christ (Christ means messiah) is in me! Jesus and I are walking, hearing, touching, tasting, and going to, the same things at the same time! At times I embarrass Him; while driving I cut somebody off and immediately felt His embarrassment, “that didn’t make You feel good did it?” “No, that didn’t offer that driver any joy or call him to maturity.” “Wow, sorry”.
I now have instant access to Jesus for any question, decision, or reason. There is no waiting for Him to show up or me trying to make a decision on my own and having to live with the consequences. I ask Him what His heart is about in this matter and He answers me. This has totally changed what I do, where I go, decisions I make; what a relief and peace (shalom) is in me! (I have many stories of this that I will share in other of my writings). Jesus is even in the very small details and that brings me greater appreciation of His intricate care and love for me. One little story: I had packed my truck and was leaving early to meet a contractor in a neighboring town at an early hour. Suddenly I thought “oh no, my wallet, and I need gas”. I stopped and did a hurried search and found nothing. I felt anxiety increase as I started to turn around to go back and get my wallet. I knew that this would make me late for my appointment. I paused, and tapped my chest and asked Jesus where my wallet was. He answered “under that stack of papers on your seat.” I lifted the stack and sure enough, there it was! That little thing did more for me that day than anything else! He is right here! Now! In me!
Here is a Biggy: since Jesus is in me I am now literally connected to the spirit world and all the angels and all the assignments that are going on with all of them with regards to me. There is no such thing as the western mentality of doing my thing in my corner. I am not alone; What I decide or do shakes the entire network in the spirit world. So, I stay very aware of what Jesus has in mind and what his purpose is in all my situations and dealing and relationships. Since Jesus is in me, all my relationships are now His relationships! And all His relationships are mine! I now kiss my spouse as kissing Jesus. (Feeling weird yet? This has rattled me. I now understand the making love concept presented in Love after Marriage.)
Since Jesus and I are connected, I am now connected to you, the reader of this writing. You are now a part of my network since you are a part of Jesus’ network! Since Jesus is in me, you will be loved and treated the same from me as from Him. (Jesus, help me)! Shalom.
