Are you possessed?

I can't get this post by songwriter/singer Shaun Groves out of my head.

He makes a statement that is so simple, yet I have not ever thought of it that way.  We invite Jesus to come live inside of us...we are the tabernacle where He dwells...and yet have we ever thought of being inhabited by Him?  Do we think of ourselves as being possessed by Jesus?

It makes so much since...we know any good works that we do, it is really Him doing...and therefore we have no room for boasting.  We think of people being possessed by the enemy and demons, but why not possessed by Christ?

I guess it sounds kind of alienish...but when Jesus moves in, he doesn't take over like some green slimy two headed thing.  He still allows us to be us...we still have our fleshly desires.  But, alongside those old desires, he has installed new desires...ones that will glorify His name and bring about His purposes.  "Jesus is in you believing, thinking, feeling, doing."

Will we yield to the invasion?  Or fight it?
