The Reason Why God is Unable to Build Himself into Some Believers Some people may say that they understand if we do not allow God to break us or to make an opening in us, then God Himself cannot enter into us, but that it is still very troublesome to them and unclear in their practice. For example, you may be a genuinely saved person with the Spirit of God and the life of God in you. However, your views, insight, thoughts, opinions, preferences, choices, ideas, and decisions may be intact and altogether yours. Thus, not one bit of God’s element can be injected into you. Though you are saved and the Spirit of God and the life of God are in you, your thoughts and views do not have the element of God in them. God has no access to your thoughts and views and has no ground in your preferences and choices. In your ideas and decisions you keep God outside the door. Although we have the life of God and the Spirit of God in us, we may handle things as if we do not have God in us. Though we have God’s life and God’s Spirit dwelling within us, God may not have the ground in us when we make choices or decisions. In other words, although all those who are saved have the Spirit of God and the life of God within them, God may not have the ground in their thoughts, preferences, and views, that is, in their soul. This is the main reason why there is no growth in life in many saved ones and why God cannot build Himself into them.
