That the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Philemon 1:6 - NKJV.

Is there an acknowledging in you of "every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus"? Until there is, how can you be living out of that or from that or in that? In Christ Jesus there is in you good things from God! You yourself are a good thing in Christ! You are a new creation created after God in righteousness and true holiness! 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:24.

Your head won't tell you this, the world can't tell you this but God's Word tells you it and by God's Spirit there is a knowing to be had that will live in your heart. As you pray you can look into scripture and the Holy Spirit can reveal to your heart the immensity and the intensity of what you have been given in Christ. You can read in the Bible about these good things God has put within you and God's Spirit can bring them to life, revealing them to your heart.

You have got to come to know it by His Spirit. Studying alone only puts knowledge in your head that cannot truly change things. However, let the Spirit of God minister in you as you read and your heart will have knowledge revealed there that will change your life! Out of this ever deepening, heart-felt knowledge your life will begin to radiate a fuller measure of God's blessings on those around about you, changing your life in the process!
