Earthen vessel I was made,
Christ in me the treasure laid;
His container I must be,
As the content He in me.
2
In His image I was made,
Fit that Christ should all pervade;
Thus the vessel God did form
With the content uniform.
3
In my spirit He remains,
With His power He sustains;
As the Spirit one with me,
He is my reality.
4
Moving in me day by day,
Mingling with me all the way,
All my steps He regulates,
Every part He saturates.
5
Him expressing from within,
Making Him to others seen,
I transparent have to be
That He may be shown thru me.
6
Transformation is my need,
To be broken more indeed,
That the clay may change in form,
To the treasure to conform.

2 Cor 4:6-7. Because the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, is the one who shined in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels...

Lord, shine in our hearts as our inner treasure.

A. The Treasure in

the Earthen Vessels

----------------

All of verse 7 reads like this: “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us. ” The Greek word for excellency “surpassingness, ” “exceeding greatness. ” The fact that we are earthen vessels proves that the excellency of the power is of God and not out of us. Here Paul seems to be saying, “I am nothing more than an earthen vessel, low and worthless. In myself I am sinful, fallen, and low. How can such a person manifest the truth and shine forth the glory of the gospel? I do not have the power to do this. The excellency of the power is not out of me—it is of God. Although I am a worthless earthen vessel, God has shined this precious treasure into me. Now this treasure becomes the source of the power energizing me and enabling me to shine forth God’s glory and to manifest the truth. ”

Do you not have a divine motor within you? The marvelous treasure is now a heavenly motor empowering us from within. This motor may not trouble us while we are sleeping, but during the rest of the day, it bothers us. Preachers often tell others that Christ will give peace. In my experience He often does not give me peace. He gives me joy, but instead of giving me peace, He bothers me. If I do not go along with His inward bothering, I cannot have peace. Sometimes I cooperate with His bothering and have joy, but still there is no peace.

According to your experience, can you sit quietly at home and enjoy peace? Is it not true that the Lord often bothers you inwardly? Christ is a bothering One. This treasure is a living and active treasure operating within us. This treasure even constrains us to do certain things. According to 2 Corinthians 5 , the love of Christ constrains us. Christ not only bothers us; He constrains us, pushes us on. This is the power, the source of strength, for the apostles to behave themselves in such a way as to shine the gospel and manifest the truth.

Praise the Lord!

We all can testify that, when we spend time with the Lord and enjoy His preciousness, we have a sense of how precious and dear He is, and we have His sweet presence.

Hallelujah 😀

Transformation is my need,

To be broken more indeed,

That the clay may change in form,

To the treasure to conform.

We start out as corruptible earthen vessels, But through the Lords mercy we became regenerated and we are filled with the Glory of the Divine Dispensing! Now we can be transparent and beholding and reflecting, shine forth the Glory of the Triune God!

Him expressing from within,

Making Him to others seen,

I transparent have to be

That He may be shown thru me.

I spoke on the all-inclusive Christ during the last seven days of 1962. The next day, January 1 of 1963, I was brought by a brother to Whittier to share with a group of seeking ones there. My burden was to share the truth and experience of transformation. Today I am still speaking on transformation. Stanza 6 of Hymns, #548 says: 'Transformation is my need, / To be broken more indeed, / That the clay may change in form, / To the treasure to conform.' We were made as an earthen vessel, but this vessel should be transformed in its appearance. Transformation is not a kind of outward reformation or correction. Transformation is a metabolic change in the substantial form.
