God in Man.

God in Man.
All religious denominations not believ
ing in the regenerating and saving power.
of the Holy Ghost in this life, do not be-
lieve God dwells in man. Others having
obtained the rich experience of sins for
given, being raised from life of guilt
and sin, to life of peace, righteousness
and holiness say: 1t is God in them that
enables them to successfully battle with
sin and Satan, the enemys of their soul,
and to be more than cOnquerOr by Om-
nipOtent aid. In Romans SO We read:
Now if any man have not the spirit of
Christ he is none of his. So God does
not dwell in the sinner, whether in the
church or out of the church; but does
dwell in the christian. In the dispen-
satiOn of Father, God was for man, In
the dispensatiOn of the Son. God was
with man, and in the present dispen-
sation of the Holy Ghost God is in man,
in all his true followers. In Cor. "a
Paul says: But we have THIS TREASURE

Oh 81. In Colosseans 26:27 we find
the following: Even the mystery which
hath been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest
to his saints to whom God would make
known what is the riches of the glory of
this mystery among the Gentiles, which
is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope OF glory.
Notice, Christ or God in man is the
mystery. Those who have not the in
dwelling Christ can not understand this
mystery, but as in VS. 26 but now is made
manifest to his SAINTS. I'm glad there
is power in God to cast out the Devil and
all evil dispositions and implant deep in
the soul the true righteousness and pure
love to God and man.
In LIST Cor. 3 :l6 we find Paul inspired
of God writes: Know We not that YE ARE
the TEMPLE of God, and that the spirit
of God dwelleth in you? If any man
defile the temple of God him shall God
destroy; for the temple of God is holy,
which temple We are.
No wonder God does not dwell in the
hearts or bodies of those professors of
religion who claim to be unholy. If we
would have Gods Spirit dwell in us we
must cease SHINING, quit using impure
language, break off all habits of filth,
stop trying to make improvements on
urpersons by use Ofpowders and paints,
adorn ourselves in modest apperal not
with gold or pearls or costly array as
per Tim. 30 we must have HOLY not
SINFUL BODY, as required of US il Rom.
12:1: To present our bodies a living sac
rifice. HOLY. acceptable unto God, which
is our reasonable service.
Again in Cor. 6:l9:20 we read: What?
know We not that your BODY is the TEN
PIE OF THE HOLY Ghost, which is IN you
which We have OF God and are not your
own? For We are bought with a price
therefore glorify God in your body and
and in your spirit, which are Gods.
proof that God dwells in his children
know he dwells in my heart, once had
Satan in my heart controlling my
thoughts, acts, words and life, but as all
must do, who would be rid of Satanic
power and rule, repented of and con-
fessed my sin, made restitution, forsook
sin and by faith in the shed blood of
Calvary, God in the person of the Holy
Ghost took up his abode in my heart and
dwells there to-day. Praise his dear
name. Is the Devil or God ruling you?
Possessed of Satan man is unhappy and
doomed for He'll, Possessed of God he is
holy and enroute for Heaven. If you
have not a personal, living God in you,
you are sinner and belong to the Devil,
