Reliance on yourself, your natural talents, other people, government, religion, a particular set of circumstances or material things is to live less a life than you were created to live. Total reliance on God for everything: spirit and soul and body is allowing the greater power of the Almighty to fuel your life to be who God created you to be: his image and likeness.
Oswald Chambers puts it so succinctly, “It is quite true to say–‘I cannot live a holy life,’ but you can decide to LET Jesus Christ make you holy. “Ye cannot serve the Lord God” but you can PUT YOURSELF in the place where God’s almighty power will COME THROUGH YOU. Are you sufficiently RIGHT WITH GOD to expect Him to MANIFEST HIS WONDERFUL LIFE in you?“
The Bride MAKES HERSELF ready (Revelation 19:7) by surrendering all reliance to the Bridegroom and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform, transfigure, reform, potter, and form Christ in you to be equally yoked to Christ to BE the Bride, wife of the Lamb of God who TOOK sin and death away and gives your mortal body immortality in the glory, imperishable among the perishable, the banquet table in the presence of your enemies, the anointing to live, move and have your being in God IN the world; the righteousness of God with Christ, OF the new heaven and new earth, a shining city on a hill, the glory within and the fire around you shining like a star in the midst of darkness (Daniel 12:3) having RECEIVED the riches of the glory of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of God (NOT knowledge of good and evil). The ONLY thing worth knowing is God your Father THROUGH the testimony of Christ Jesus THROUGH the Holy Spirit sent to you to teach you ALL THINGS pertaining to LIFE and LIFE more abundant and full in Christ (1 John 2:26-27).
It takes belief, faith, hope, love, and TOTAL TRUST that God is who Jesus said he is and Holy Spirit will confirm it IN YOU for faith by faith (for evidence of the unseen BY the evidence of the unseen). The adversary brings unbelief, doubt, double-mindedness and fear to steal, kill and destroy belief, faith, hope, love and trust. So we must CONQUER those spirits by WAKING UP and RECEIVING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST, the pure awareness of God by receiving the pure presence, the glory, the pure light to KNOW beyond knowledge the Love of Christ, the same Love as the Father (God IS Love) through the Holy Spirit sent to you. We must RECEIVE the Holy Spirit fire power to be able to OVERCOME all the faulty mindsets of the world and world religions (the kingdoms of this world, ruled by the god of this world, fallen mindsets). Those who CONQUER enter the kingdom of the beloved Son (the pure, higher mind and ways of God through Christ Mind and Spirit come in you). “Thy kingdom come (in you) Thy will be done (in you) on earth as it is in heaven”
BEING IN CHRIST IS NOT A RELIGION OR INSTITUTION OR ANY MAN-MADE MIXTURE OF GOD AND THE WORLD. Being OF CHRIST is Christ in you and I, the hope of glory on earth!
Christ in you brings the church to you: Christ’s body (substance) filled with the Holy Spirit of God! Then you meet together with others to worship in one accord, one mind, one Spirit of God, NOT the gods of the astral or second heaven, NOT the elemental spirits of the universe of the first heaven, but IN CHRIST, the exact, visible image of the invisible Father THROUGH the Holy Spirit and fire that ascended Christ Jesus sends you from the Father of glory. The King of glory comes in to live, move and have his being in you through the Holy Spirit; to MANIFEST his glory, his wonderful light, his powerful presence, his marvelous Life in you to ALLOW his ALMIGHTY POWER to come THROUGH YOU.
THIS is the eternal Day of Christ in you made possible only through the FINISHED work of the cross and the resurrected, ascended, glorified Spirit sent to live, move and have its Being in you and THROUGH YOU. This is the holy and perfect of God come to you: Christ in you makes you a complete, whole/holy being of the new creation in the new heaven and new earth**. If you continue to just PATCH the old human nature instead of dying to Adam and his spirits so God can put risen Lord Christ Jesus in you as a new nature, a garment of light, the Christ nature: the image and likeness of God you will NEVER be complete, fulfilled, and totally satisfied. If you continue to drink the old MIXED wine into your old mortal body, the new Life cannot remain and you are not changed permanently.
“We RECEIVE the light of Christ, the LIFE of Christ, the HOLY Spirit and fire, so the LIFE of Jesus may also be MANIFESTED in our bodies…so that the LIFE of Jesus may be MANIFESTED in our mortal flesh” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
“We are to bear the image of the man from heaven!” 1 Corinthians 15:49
“We are reconciled in ONE BODY (Christ in you) to God through the cross…we BOTH have access in ONE SPIRIT to the Father…members of the household of God…Christ in your heart is the CORNERSTONE in which you are joined with heaven and God on earth, growing into a HOLY TEMPLE in the Lord…a DWELLING PLACE OF GOD IN THE SPIRIT” Ephesians 2:14-22
“Christ in you changes your lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the POWER which enables him to subject ALL THINGS to himself” Philippians 3:21
The SAME POWER that resurrected Jesus, resurrects you and I when the Holy Spirit and fire baptism baptizes us INTO CHRIST and we work out what God works in until we KNOW Christ in ourselves. KNOW the Spirit. KNOW the Light with NO PART DARK. KNOW the Love that casts out all fear, doubt and unbelief. To know God is to LOVE him who FIRST LOVED US and sent Jesus to save the world and then sends the Spirit and fire to save, heal, deliver, transform, transfigure, and reform you to set you FREE in spirit and soul and body! Free to choose God, ALL Good!
Thank you Abba! Father! from my WHOLE HEART! I TRUST and RELY on you ALONE! You are BEYOND all knowledge, understanding, wisdom, intelligence, talent, virtue, counsel, power, and love OF THIS WORLD but we can KNOW YOU through Christ in us through the HOLY Spirit!!!!!!!
New Heaven on Earth! 
**This is a process because EVERYTHING of this world tries to keep you broken, doubting, wavering, dual-natured, double-minded, torn, split, fragmented, fractured, sinful, of the “death” culture… EVEN world religions try to keep you controlled in their “system” to keep the status quo, keep their traditions of men, keep their power over you, keep you under their “spell” under “religious spirits” instead of the Holy Spirit and fire of God IN YOU and THROUGH YOU that only Christ Jesus can provide through the finished work of the cross that ENDED satan and Adam’s tree of the knowledge of good and evil powers over you and gave you ACCESS and RIGHT to the tree of life, Christ Life, when you CONQUER and OVERCOME the faulty mindsets you are fed every single day.
EVERYTHING of the world tries to keep you down in the world; ONLY THE POWER THAT RAISED CHRIST JESUS from the dead can raise you ABOVE the faulty mindsets: kingdoms of this world that satan promises will give you power but destroy you in the end; to the kingdom of the beloved SON, far greater glory and power than the created sun! Even a taste of Christ’s glory knocks you out at first and as you receive a titration you grow and build tolerance so you can receive more and more (the opposite of the world’s tolerance: it takes more and more deviant sex to get you off, more and more harmful substances to make you feel good, etc.) Heavenly tolerance is more and more Goodness overcomes the lies of the world; more and more Joy of the Lord makes physical sex seem archaic; more and more experiences and encounters with our Father’s Love makes the things the world offers pale in comparison. Tolerance in the world means you accept more and more things that God never created you to be a part of, that lead to destruction, death and NEVER being satisfied for long. You not only hurt yourself, others and add to the darkness and destruction of the world, but you FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY; something you don’t know until you know from encountering and experiencing (beyond knowledge). Satisfaction, fulfillment, marital bliss, joy, peace and pure Love are found only in Christ, the image and likeness of God whom we are created to be like. Being who the world says you are leads to destruction.
“It is finished” The Word made flesh invited into your innermost being, your inner spirit man, is finished with Christ; then we work the Spirit of Christ into every part of our soul which is made complete with Christ in our entire soul; then eventually the Light gets out to the more dense physical body and you can say, “It is done unto me according to your Word!” It is done unto you as you believe! As he is so are we in the world! As we think in our heart so are we! The kingdom mindset of Christ accepted and worked out in us becomes us!
Ah, words fail me! In a million different ways I try to describe what Holy Spirit shows, does, teaches me but words only point, limit what is unlimited! I pray that all begin to SEE the evidence of the unseen, SEE belief in Christ, in you; no longer having to see to believe! but believe to SEE!

The hole left in a human heart by the absence of God cannot be filled with sex, drugs, alcohol, material things, worldly love, religion, or anything other than God who anoints us with Himself, takes us to Himself, makes us one with Himself. Wed to His Spirit our soul is finally complete and can rest in our body as we begin to know we abide in Christ, and he in us. We can move from rest to rest with Holy Spirit as we are led to the springs of living water, drink and let Christ Spirit become a river flowing through us.
