So what do you do with?

Col 1:27-29 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: (29) Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Christ in you? We are being formed as His temple and His body, why wouldn't Christ be formed in us?

Eph 2:21-22 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord: (22) In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

God wants to LIVE IN US?!! How in the world is that going to happen!?

This is how:

Rom 8:13-22 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (19) For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (20) For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, (21) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (22) For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

We become joint heirs with Jesus BECAUSE we suffer with Him, as His body! We receive the Spirit of adoption and God envelops us in His will and we behave as Jesus Christ, only doing and saying those things that God the Father is doing and saying. The creation is NOT groaning and travailing for the removal of the church from earth, it's waiting for it's adoption into holiness and sonship.

Having said that, the "Latter Rain" as it appears in it's Lakeland Florida form may be borrowing Covenant Theology phraseology just as it is borrowing "Christian-ese" but that does not falsify Covenant Theology. You also can't start erasing chunks of your Bible because it doesn't line up with your "orthodoxy". Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater Mishel.
