But now He had a new race of people. They’d been born again. They’d been made new creatures in Christ Jesus. So, able at last to safely embrace them, God rushed into the room where they were waiting on Him and SAT DOWN on them. He engulfed them with the fire of His presence, and instead of getting burned up they were filled up to overflowing with Him, the Almighty Spirit of Power.
If you’ve received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, the same happened to you. You may not have heard a rushing wind or seen tongues of fire, but nevertheless the Holy Spirit came on you, and filled you to overflowing. You were baptized in the same Spirit of Power that was outpoured in Acts 2 and the gateway to the supernatural was thrown open to you.
Inside-Out People
“But Brother Copeland, I’m so unworthy.”
No, you’re not! God didn’t make any new unworthy creatures. He said, when you became a new creation in Christ, “old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18, "NKJV"). He said you’ve been “born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23).
Where is God living and abiding forever? In you! So, clearly, He’s made you worthy. You just need to renew your mind to it. You just need to become God-inside minded and realize that everything He is and has is on the inside of you, ready for you to tap into by faith and draw out.
