Indwelling Ecstasy - The Jesus Trip

About this sermon

Katastasis & Ekstasis This week John Crowder covers two terms related to divine intoxication. Ekstasis means "standing outside oneself" and is usually referrred to as a trance, ecstasy or rapture - the intoxicating, tangible experience of God's presence (often deemed the "infilling" or "baptism" of the Spirit, or "holy drunkenness"). While we have long discussed the concept of ecstasy, this week John grounds it in another Greek term, katastasis, which refers to the indwelling of God "down in oneself." Our efforts are not necessary to drum up experience, nor should we feel that we are missing out if we do not spiritually manifest a particular way. Ecstatic "outward" experiences are all an effortless realization and byproduct of the "inward" indwelling fullness of God we already have thanks to Christ.
