The Secret Geography of the Christian Life | Christ Living Within You

Before the Beginning Eternal Purpose Fellowship New Testament Organic Church The Gospels

In this profound teaching, Gene Edwards explores the deeper Christian life through the lens of the human spirit, the fall of man, and the indwelling life of Christ. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and spiritual insight, Gene presents a sweeping vision of God’s eternal purpose for humanity—not merely forgiveness of sins, but participation in the very life of God Himself.

This message examines the original creation of Adam, the fall of man, the condition of the soul, and the spiritual consequences of separation from God. He explains how humanity became spiritually dead through sin and how Jesus Christ came not only to redeem mankind, but to restore the human spirit and impart divine life to believers.

At the center of this teaching is the revelation that Christianity is not primarily about rules, religious performance, or outward behavior. Instead, it is about an inward relationship with the indwelling Christ. Gene emphasizes that Jesus Himself lived by the life of the Father within Him, and believers are invited into that same fellowship through the Spirit of God.

This teaching will resonate deeply with Christians seeking:

  • A deeper walk with Christ
  • Understanding of the indwelling life
  • Spiritual growth beyond religious activity
  • Insight into the “Christ in you” reality
  • A richer understanding of the eternal purpose of God

Throughout the message, Gene challenges purely intellectual Christianity and calls believers into a living, experiential relationship with Jesus Christ. He explores themes such as walking in the spirit, the restoration of the human spirit, the new creation, and the believer’s participation in heavenly realities through Christ.

This video is especially meaningful for those hungry for the deeper Christian life and for believers seeking a more intimate, inward fellowship with God.

Watch and discover what it means to live by a life not your own—the very Life of God within you.

I want you to just pull your covers up tonight and think about it. I’m alive inside. The Lord Jesus Christ lives in me right now; in the same way the Father lived in Him when he walked through Galilee and Judea. I can now establish an internal relationship with Him that is like unto His fellowship with the Father in all eternity and 33 years upon this earth, and I can establish that fellowship now. Hallelujah. I have a right to join in that fellowship. I have a right to join in that fellowship. I have a right to join in with a fellowship that takes place in the Godhead. I have a right to go there and enjoy and become part of that glorious fellowship. He intended it.

I can walk into another realm. It is called my spirit. I can walk in the spirit; I can walk in another realm. I can live in another realm; I can live in my spirit. It is geographically locatable. It’s not some woo, woo, woo spirit. It’s a place, and I can go there. I have a right to go there, and I can go there, and I will go there. I can live there. I can walk in my spirit, and I can live by a life of my own. I can live by the Life of God because it’s been given to me by the death and resurrection of my Lord, and He indwells me, and I can draw from Him as my source and my life.

Now just give me a handle. Just give me a handle. Just give me a little handle, and I’ll run with it. I hope you’ll never read the New Testament again, and read where it says, to live in spirit and be in spirit and walk in spirit and think that’s a place outside you; that’s a place inside you: it’s internal. That’s where your Lord lived. He lived inside Himself. No, He didn’t. He lived inside where His Father was.

Where did you come from? You came from inside God…no, you came from inside Christ, the Son, the eternal Son. That’s where you came from. You came from inside Him. There’s something in you that came from Him. Now, where is He? He’s inside you. So, Christ is in you, and you’ve been in Christ. You are in Christ. Christ is in you. I don’t know what more you want. You got forgiveness of your sins. Well, what more do you want? You want a handle? That’s what you want, a handle. Well, I hope you get it before the week is over.

And to you saints who have been watching us, this is just for us. This doesn’t pertain to you.  (smiles) Brother and sister, wake up and realize there’s a universe inside of you, and not only is there a universe there, but there’s another form of Life there, not your own, and you can live by it. There’s a place you can go, and you have a right to that place. And now I’m going to tell you one more thing.

Blessed be the God and Father of your Lord Jesus Christ, who has given you all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. Everything that is in the heavenly places is yours. Now. You’ve got a right to heavenly places, right now. I bet you don’t believe that. And you know what else I bet you believe? I bet you believe I can’t deliver on that. I’ll call your bet. I believe it is possible, outside of positional truth, for you to claim the reality of that, that you have a right to spiritual blessings in heavenly places.
