He Is In Your System, Rom. 8:11ESV

 Devo 3/27/26…

Day by day and night by night

I feel you in my mind

It happens all the time

You know my daydreams stop

My heart beats on

I can't take it anymore

It's you I live for

You are in my system

You are in my system

I just want you to know that

You are in my system

You are in my system, system

(The System, You Are In My System)

Romans 8:11, And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

John 6:53-56, So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. 54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

Jesus, is in your system, system.  I said, Jesus, is in your system, system.  Some of you reading this may remember that song and then again a great number of you may not.  Anyway, it was a great song.  And no matter when you accepted Jesus into your life know now that He will forever be in your system.  He is in you and you are in Him.  He is this vine and we are the branches.  Everything we need comes from Him.  The fruit we produce comes from Him because He is the vine and we are the branches.  The branches show and carry the fruit that the vine produces. (John 15:1-8) His Spirit and His blood is in us.  His Spirit, the same that raised Him from the dead lives inside each and every one of us.  Trust and believe that you can do great things through His strength and power that resides inside of you. 

Hebrews 10:16, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,”

1 Cor. 6:19-20, Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

2 Cor. 6:16, What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them

    and walk among them,

and I will be their God,

    and they will be my people.”[c]

His covenant, His law is written on our hearts and minds.  We are walking, talking, breathing, living temples of the Holy Spirit.  Christ lives inside of us.  We take Him everywhere we go when we leave the house.  Christ died just so He could be that close to us.  He died so that He could be with us wherever we go.  So that He could live inside of us.  When you walk into places that you shouldn’t be, Christ goes with you.  When you are doing things you shouldn’t do, Christ is there with you.  When you say things you know you shouldn’t say, Christ is there with you.  He paid your ransom with His life, so He could be with you always.  “Therefore honor God with your bodies”.  Systems run better when they’re not deliberately put under stress.  Systems run better when they’re running the correct software.  The best way to not catch a virus is to stay away from "unknown" sites.  But even when you don’t He’s still there to catch you when you fall.  Even when you don't, He still forgives.  He still plunges you in His grace and mercy.  He still offers compassion.  Even when you are not faithful, He always remains faithful. Systems without Jesus will fail.  Systems with Jesus will run on in eternity.  Get Jesus in your system, system.
