“The Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you.” Ro. 8:11
We Christians are born again moons. We are born again to reflect the Son’s light. As such, our heart’s continual cry should be, “Lord, I want to be a full moon.” We are to live with our eyes riveted to His face: “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light.” (Lk. 11:34) We are clay moons and have nothing in us to make us shine except the treasure of the Spirit of Christ in us. “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (2 Co. 4:6-7)
We are the temple of the Holy Spirit, which literally means we are the “holy of holies,” the place where God’s visible glory comes to rest. (Zodhiates 1990) We are living, breathing, walking, talking arks carrying His Presence. To the extent that God is in heaven on a throne is the extent that He is in our inner being on a throne! Even His very Kingdom is within us. (Lk. 17:20) Jesus promised believers that from our “inner most being [womb] shall flow rivers of living water [the Spirit].” (Jn. 7:38 [Greek]) We are the womb of God upon the Earth releasing actual power from the Holy Spirit as seen in Ephesians 3:20, “according to the power that works within us.” (Sheets Intercessory Prayer 1996)
From the time Christ ascended and the Holy Spirit descended, God ordained that His power, which brings life, healing, and wholeness to the earth, would forevermore only flow out from us, Christ’s Church-Bride.
Jesus is the same today! And 1 John 4:17 says “as He is, so are we in this world.” We really are the body of Christ. If individually and corporately we would resolve to be full moons by orbiting His Presence without eclipses (hindrances!) the body of Christ would look more and more like the Jesus of the Bible. Jesus would be more famous in our time than He was in 33 AD! (Cain & Kendall 1998)
