And now is…
“The hour is coming, and NOW is” John 5:25; John 4:23; John 4:35
Christ in all…
“Christ is all, and in all”
Christ in you…
“Christ in you, the hope of glory”
Is to come AND now is, means it is timeless, beyond time…
“You say it is yet four months, I say it is NOW”
It is beyond space or physical geography…
“Do not believe it when they say, ‘Lo, there’ or ‘Lo, here'”
It is NOT external to you!
The kingdom of God is within…
It is beyond religion, nationality, culture, sexual identity, gender identity, race or physical appearances. It is not Jerusalem, not the Vatican, not Mecca; it is not “on this mountain or on that mountain.” It is beyond geography or space…
It is beyond time and space, it is everywhere present now, here…
“Christ is all, and in all”
It is found within…
“Christ in you”
New Heaven on Earth! 
So beautiful, Yvonne! 🙂

Yes, Yvonne, well said. We who have been born of the Spirit NOW dwell in heavenly places IN Christ and are not of all the divisions of this world, “for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28 RSVA)
Bless you, my sister!

Thank you, Yvonne. That is one of my favorite verses, too, and it goes with Jesus’ final prayer… His last will and testament:
“That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.” (John 17:21-23 KJ2000)
Father, give us the grace and love for one another to truly be ONE in your Son. Amen.

Hello Yvonne! I just wanted to say thank you so very much for your writings! They are beyond encouraging and spirit filled! Your words have helped me persevere through many sleepless nights and difficult days. I was wondering if you would mind elaborating on your infilling of the Holy Spirit which you mentioned in a previous post, that you were at a difficult place in your life, and the Holy Spirit stepped in and filled you. It is most encouraging to hear of others tangible experiences with the Holy Spirit! I have been walking with the Lord now for 15 years, and have been waiting on the baptism in the Holy Spirit for 8 years. Like many who have walked with the Lord, it has not been easy. I have had to hold fast to the Lord and his promises in many areas, especially for divine health and a renewed consciousness and pure awareness. I have read all throughout history of the Spirits movement and infilling of men and it gives me great encouragement to not quit and keep pressing in for his Promise of His Spirit in the temple!! I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful spiritual mother who was dramatically baptised in the Holy Spirit while alone in her room-during the Charasmatic movement in the late 60s-70s. Hearing her story of the Lords deliverance power and her refreshed mind has helped my faith, that the Lord in fact does still FILL His children and is compassionately involved in our lives, even when it seems the opposite is true. I am a young man and was a healthy athlete, however I have had several difficult health issues for a young person(2 strokes) and the problem seemed to have begun when I set my heart to pursue the Lord for the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. I know in the Lord’s timing all will be restored and more importantly I will walk in the fruit of His Spirit. Sorry for the long message. It has been so encouraging to me to hear my spiritual moms recollection of the night the Lord first filled her, and He spoke through her in tongues followed by the interpretation in tongues-which was magnifying the Lord. At that point she did not even know what tongues were or what was happening to her, she only knew that it blessed her and that she was free. Any details about your infilling would be most appreciated and cherished. Totally understand though if it is a private matter and you do not feel inclined to share : ). So many thanks to you Yvonne for your time and devotion to the Lord!! Your posts are AMAZING!!!! Please keep them coming!! Justin
