P. 21

wasn’t in Jericho.  If He was in Jericho, He wasn’t in Samaria.
             But now He has a new body.  He’s in the United States.  He’s
             in Africa.  He’s in China.  He’s in France.  He now lives and He
             can do greater things because He has a new body!
                    I once heard a story of a missionary girl and God had
             revealed to her this life that He wants to live in her.  She got all
             excited and wanted to give a testimony but she was nervous.
             So, she had trouble getting the words out correctly.  Here’s what
             she  wanted  to  say,  “Let  Christ  have  His  way  in  your  life.”
             Here’s what she did say, “Let Christ have His Life in your way.”
             What she said was much better than what she intended to say!

                    It’s possible that there is somebody in this room, you
             might be thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years old, and you have never
             lived as God intended you to live.  You haven’t understood what
             Jesus modeled in His example for living.  He said, “I make no
             decisions on My own.  I have no private will.  I don’t seek my
             own honor.  I don’t do anything unless He does it in me.  I don’t
             say anything unless it’s through Him.”  Have you even begun
             to taste the Exchanged Life?  He wants to live again as your
             substitute.  As He once died in your place, He now wants to live
             in your place.  He’s still on the journey.  He has not yet saved
             the world and He wants to do it in us and through us.  May God
             help us to live as God intended man to live!
                    Our Heavenly Father, we thank You so much for Your
             word, not what we think it might mean but all that You have
             inspired it to mean.  Work that in our hearts we pray and thank
             You for being willing to live in us.  We pray in Jesus’ name.
             Amen.
