There are many ways of presenting the Christ-connection. These are the portraits of the Christ-connection. They are means of unveiling or revealing the Christ-connection from many angles, in order to impact our imaginations or thoughts with the reality of the Christ-connection. If our minds can be sufficiently bombarded by portraits of the Christ-connection, we will experience fruitfulness and multiplication.Let me begin from the beginning. Let's use some verses from the Gospel of John. It starts by referring to the Christ-connection as the Word. It says that in the beginning was the Word. That Word was with God and it was God. Nothing was made without Him.Thus, in the beginning was the Christ-connection. It was not created but it's the creator. Yes, that's right. The creator wasn't created. He was there in the beginning. He is the one who made all things. If the Christ-connection had not been there in the beginning there would've been no beginning. There would've been no creation. There would have been no purpose for the creation. We give thanks and praise to Him by whom and for whom all things were made. If Jesus had not been in existence, by whom and for whom would've all things been made?If He had been non-existent there would have been no existence. Everything would have been void. In fact, even emptiness would have been non-existent. The Christ-connection caused all things to come into existence for Christ. It's the solution we need to see the occurrence of things belonging to Christ in all faculties of our beings. We just have to be thankful that God exists because if He didn't, we wouldn't exist: nothing would exist.If there was no manufacturer of cars, cars would not be in existence. Perhaps they would just haunt our imaginations. For a car to exist there has to be a manufacturer of cars. They can't come from nowhere. They can't step out of the air and be there.We also have an origin. We have a manufacturer. We have God. We have the Word that created everything. We have Jesus Christ who made the world and everything in it.This should help us to see that if He who made all things and sustains the whole universe, or holds it together, lives within us, we must not fear. If the Word which was there in the beginning and created the universe and everything in it lives in us, why should we be bothered by people and things? He who demonstrated His love for us, by coming in the flesh and dying for the ungodly, is in us. He rose from the dead, ascended to the Father and came to inhabit us by His Spirit. He made a way for the Christ-connection to live with us and within us. He made it possible for His Word to live within us.

This book is an extended version of my previous book entitled Living from Inside: Shifting from the Normal to the Extraordinary. It has more sections of scriptures, royal confessions and prayers. The thrust is to reveal more of what God has put in us by virtue of our union of nature with the nature of Christ. These are not brand-new things but what the Holy Spirit reveals to us through the scriptures and the prophetic. That's why there are lots of scripture quotations in this book. After all, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Thus, in this way, the book is a powerful faith builder. It's a powerful vehicle for conceiving and birthing the atmosphere for miracles. The scripture-based royal confessions in the book are means of vocalising how God defines us or sees us. Together with the scriptures, they are a form of meditation. Meditation is a pre-requisite for observing to do what the Word says and, as a result, experience good success. The prayers take the reader deeper into the realms of glory for further supernatural experiences. That's what you and I need to practice Living From Inside in order to shift from the normal to the etraordinary.

The book is meant to inject our thinking with dosages of the Gospel, which is the ultimate reality for setting the captives free. In Luke 4:18, Jesus spoke of the effects of preaching the Gospel, the power of God to save. We can use this Gospel-centred book to transform our thoughts. It has a message about the ultimate antidote to poisonous thoughts, the Word of Christ. If we meditate on the Word of Christ and speak it, we release the power from within us and we experience effortless change and success.We can frequently use declarations when we are on our own in our closets as well as when we are with others elsewhere. As we meditate on the portions of reference verses in this book we can also form our own declarations. We've to allow declarations to become part of our life-styles. Declarations are an opportunity to use our mouths to change our situations. That's when we use our words to change our situations. The miracle is in our mouths. We could use declarations in prayer or meditation. They are means of fixing our thoughts on the Gospel of Christ. This is important because the thing we fix our thoughts on and declare will definitely influence us and it will eventually manifest.This is the higher way of God based on His higher thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). I call theses declarations Royal Confessions; they are confessions of faith affirming that Jesus's death and resurrection ushered us into a position of honour where Christ is. In Christ, we are royalty (1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6). Such confessions are means of renewing our minds (Romans 12:2) from the Gospel as it reflects the status of our born-again spirits in Christ Jesus.If these truths can be rooted in us and we get rooted in them their ultimate realities will begin to manifest in our lives (Ephesians 3:17; Colossians 2:7; Psalms 1:3). Fixing our thoughts on Christ releases an anointing of ease in all areas of our lives (Psalms 25:13; Matthew 11:28). The blessing of God makes us rich without sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). It brings us under an open Heaven (Isaiah 63:19; Genesis 28:12; John 1:51) where the stolen years are abundantly restored (Deuteronomy 30:3; Joel 2:25-26). It catapults us to years ahead (Amos 9:13; Psalms 23:6). Focusing on Christ is the way for our lost years to be recovered by more than a hundredfold. It will no longer take too long for us to become the people we were created to be! It's never too late! In Christ, there is an oversupply of Grace to accelerate the late comer. Let this message empower us to perfectly connect into the body of Christ and the unity of faith, till we attain the full measure of the stature of Christ Jesus (Ephesians 4:13).Let the seeds of greatness in the message of the cross be sown in us and cause us to be fruitful and multiply. May we become the head and not the tail, and be above and not beneath. May the person of Grace cause us to see every benefit of the cross in our lives because of the nature of our union with Him.
