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, you are not going to be able live in that condition, from that condition or out of that condition. That condition is the existence of "every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus"! Paul, in the scripture I've given above, is praying you will acknowledge that very specific thing in order that the sharing of your faith may be effective. In Christ Jesus there is in you good things from God. This is so because God's Word declares of you. In Christ it declares you are a new creation created after God in righteousness and true holiness. 2Cor.5:17, Eph.4:24.
This type of thing is not something your head will usually tell you. The world won't tell you this either. Nevetheless, it is what God's Word tells you. Furthermore, God's Spirit can reveal a knowledge of it that will live in your heart. How does this occur? Pray, look into scripture and the Holy Spirit can reveal to your heart the immensity and the intensity of what you have received in Christ Jesus! As you read in the Bible about the good things God has put within you, God's Spirit can bring them to life for you revealing them to your heart.
This knowledge has to be know by the Spirit of God. Mentally studying will put knowledge in your head but you need to let the Spirit of God minister these things to your heart. As you read in this way knowledge of God can be revealed to your heart that will be life changing. In this revealed, heart knowledge your life will come to radiate upon those around you a fuller measure of the blessings of God. Your life will be changed.
