THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE GODHEAD

Jesus had an indwelling Lord: Jesus drew His whole life and “out-living” from His indwelling Father, as these paraphrased snippets of The Gospel of John capture so well: My Father abides in Me and I in Him. I perceive things that are from above. I hear my Father speak. I saw heaven’s realm open. My Father is with Me, I am never alone. My Father constantly bears witness to Me. My Father sent Me here, from out of the other realm. My Father is in Me and He is doing the work. I know, through intimate relationship, my Father. I am one with my Father. I see God. I live by my Father; I have life in Me because of Him. Without my Father, I can do nothing. I speak what I hear my Father speak, and do what I see my Father do. That which is of my Father radiates out to become my experience. I and my Father are so much one that when you meet Me, you meet my Father.

If we take the things Jesus spoke concerning His relationship with the Father and put them all together, then we begin to see our Lord revealing to us the fellowship going on in the Godhead - the fellowship Jesus experienced bodily and visibly from inside Himself every day, and modeled for us.  As these paraphrased snippets of scriptures were true of Jesus they should be true of all believers. The “I” and “my” and “me” also refer to the saints...“us”, for Jesus also said: “I am in My Father, and you (us) in Me, and I in you ... If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We (Jesus and the Father) will come to him and make Our home with him ... We (Jesus, the Father and us) are one: I in them (us), and You (the Father) in Me (Jesus); that they (us) 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.” Capitalized pronouns always refer to the Godhead. We have an indwelling Lord... an indwelling Godhead... Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for the Kingdom of God during this age is within, as is God’s temple. Our life on planet earth should be an out-living of what we see and hear the Father doing from within. The only prerequisites to experiencing this fellowship of the Godhead are Love and Obedience. Father, let all who seek this walk in the Spirit examine themselves with a willingness to lay aside every hindrance to the full experience of this truth as a 24/7 way of life. In Jesus Name, Amen
