God Has Made A Deposit In You

8-5-2012

Ephesians 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,  5  even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),  6  and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,  7  that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

God has made a deposit in you!  The mercy and love of God made us alive!  God made a deposit of love while we were dead in trespasses in sin!  The love was so great and the sacrifice superior to such a degree that the holy could purify the unclean.  Under the law if the unclean touched the pure the pure became contaminated.  Under this covenant of grace and truth, when the unclean touches the pure the unclean becomes purified.  The woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus' garment she became clean.  When Jesus touched the leprosy, the man became clean.  God made a deposit where by we can be reconciled and cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus!  How great is the faithfulness and kindness of God redeeming us and giving us a heavenly sitting.  How the church would come alive if we gained an understanding of our rightful place appointed by God Himself!

2 Corinthians 5:19  that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  20  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.  21  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.    

God is not imputing trespassed because of the reconciliation He deposited reconciliation in and with Christ Jesus.  Believer’s lives are transformed when they get a fullness of the revelation of reconciliation.  Now we can plead for others to be reconciled to God. 

Ephesians 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,  4  just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

God’s pursuit of us came before the foundation of the world!  We have been special to God all along; it is time to wake up and walk in the revelation of His divine influence in our life.

John 4:23  "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.  24  "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

God is seeking us and longing for our joining to Him spirit to Spirit!

1 Peter 1:18  knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,  19  but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.  20  He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

God made a deposit with the absolute highest commodity in all of heaven and earth. After living a sinless life Jesus poured out His precious blood for our redemption.  The deposit from heaven to earth is great enough to destroy the works of the devil. 

1 Peter 1:22  Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,  23  having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,

The commodity that brought us redemption was so great.  We have been born again with incorruptible seed!  What a great deposit God has made in us!

Hebrews 9:14  how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

God has deposited into every believer a purged conscience.  Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a conscience.  Only the blood of Jesus can remove the guilt, stain, and shame of sin in a man’s conscience.  Jesus was speaking about a deposit that was so great it could make you a son and set you free from the bondage of sin.  What a great deposit.

Galatians 4:6  And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"  7  Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

God has made a deposit in you!  God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”  Not a slave but a son and heir of God through Christ.

1 John 4:14  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.  15  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

What a strong word of assurance! 

Psalm 84:11  For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

This is a prophetic psalm speaking to the day when the Lord would give grace and glory to His children.  God is not withholding from you.  Indeed it is His desire to give us the kingdom.

John 7:37  On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  38  "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."  39  But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus' desire is for every believer who has a genuine confession of faith to receive the Holy Spirit.  God desires to make this deposit in you!  The KJV says out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water. 

Matthew 3:11  "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

John baptized with water but Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit!  Mark 1:8, Luke 3:7, John 1:33, Acts 1:8, Act 11:16. 

Luke 11:13  "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

If God is your Father ask Him and he will make the deposit; He will give you the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:33  "Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

Acts 2:38  Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  39  "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

Clearly the Holy Spirit is not a might or a may be for some.  The promise of the Holy Spirit is inclusive to you and your child and to all…

Ephesians 1:13  In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,  14  who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

God has made a deposit of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  It is the guarantee, surety, down payment of heaven on earth, sealing us by the Holy Spirit of promise!
