Some people think Jesus in our hearts is just a figure of speech or that Jesus is in our physical beating heart. Neither of those is true. And yet, Jesus is in our innermost being. The Bible talks about a fourth dimension in Ephesians 3:18-19, which lets us know there’s another dimension beyond the three we know about. Your heart is your innermost being. The kingdom of heaven is within.

As you follow God, Jesus becomes more a part of you. James 1:21 says you should accept God’s Word, which can save you. God’s Word is God leading you. Jesus is God’s Word. You must accept Him. Jesus saves you from sin. He becomes your righteousness. When He works in you, you become more like Jesus (Romans 12:2). Jesus is not just a story; He lives in you.

Jesus lives in you if you accept Him as your Lord. If He’s your Lord, He is your King. He is the one you will obey. You will look for His Spirit to lead you, and you will do what He tells you to do.

You can have wisdom and knowledge from Jesus. He is the truth, and when He is in you, you have the truth. Without Jesus, no one can know anything. Even those who don’t know Jesus Christ write about this problem humans have with knowledge. God showed them they can’t have knowledge without divine revelation from Jesus, but they couldn’t accept what God said. Instead, they say, “No one can know anything.” They leave out that part about God revealing the truth to them. If you’ve ever heard anyone say, “Everything is relative” or “There are no absolutes,” they are claiming that no one can know anything. They are missing one important fact: Jesus is real and all knowledge is hidden in Him. He reveals knowledge to whomever He wills. You can know what the Spirit of Jesus reveals to you, but you can’t know anything else.

Ask God to answer these questions.

1. How can Jesus live inside you?
2. What is your “innermost being”?
3. What does it mean that the kingdom of heaven is within you?
4. What is the “fourth dimension” the Bible talks about?
5. How does Jesus save you from sin?

1. What does it mean for Jesus to be your King?
2. How does Jesus give you wisdom and knowledge?
3. Why do some people say, “No one can know anything”?
4. Why is Jesus called “the truth”?
5. How does Jesus reveal knowledge to you?

1. Pray for the Lord to protect you and keep you in His presence and His presence only.
2. Direct your mind toward the Lord only.
3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.
5. Do not edit or change what God says even if you don’t understand it.
6. Reject the lies and receive the truth.
7. Take notes.
8. Transfer your notes to your journal without editing what God said to you.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.
