You Have The Treasure

II Corinthians 4:7
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."

Some people say, 'We're just going to burn ourselves out for God," that's wrong, that's the very thing the devil wants you to do. Don't give him the opportunity to see that happen.

Take time to feed your spirit so you won't burn out. Keep feeding your spirit till you increase in strength and burn brighter and stronger everyday.

Begin to work with Him instead of just for Him. Take your focus off the things of this world and look at Him.

Where must you look to see Jesus? First, in the Word. Second, in your own spirit.

For most it's easy to see Jesus in Bible. Yet most of us haven't developed the ability to see Him living inside us. And that's the key.

You must have that ability to survive the pressure in these last days. You'll have to know--not just with your brain, but every fiber of your being--that God in you is greater than satan and anything he can throw at you.

Never forget this: once you truly see that the very spirit and power of Jesus resides on the inside of you, nothing--no amount of persecution, no disease, no problem of any kind-- will be able to defeat you. When you see Jesus inside you as bigger than the problems around you, you'll conquer any challenge satan brings your way.

The answer to everything is inside you right now. Everything you'll ever need is in your spirit. All the strength, all the health, all the wealth, all the wisdom, all of it is in you because that's where Jesus lives.

Remember, we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not us!
