“To be possessed by God is the ultimate freedom—where love takes over, and nothing else satisfies.”—Anonymous
The New Testament speaks of the Holy Spirit possessing believers, empowering them to live a holy life. And on an even deeper level, Scripture calls us God’s special possession.
This word "possess" has been resting on my heart.
He created all things…
So, does He possess me?
Or do I, in some divine mystery, possess Him?
The day love fell from heaven into my soul, I felt a love unlike anything I had ever known. He was gentle. He was kind. And in that sacred moment, He took up residence in my heart and soul.
Life has never been the same.
Is this a constant spiritual dance? Am I the chaser—or the one being chased?
He has left a yearning in my soul to know Him more. Does this love shift with the tide? At times, His presence is so strong that it feels as if I’m completely overtaken, possessed by Him. It overwhelms my very being.
He leaves me with a thirst I cannot quench.
What is this influence He seems to have over my life? Or have I, perhaps, willingly given over every facet of my existence to a love deeper and more profound than any I have ever known?
There is a constant loving pull on my soul.
With just one whisper…
One touch…
I am undone.
Saying we are possessed by our Creator may sound strange...
Yet we were already His long before we ever knew Him.
Will these souls ever fully intertwine?
One thing I know…
It’s Him.
It’s always Him.
“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine…”—Song of Songs 6:3
Spiritual Meaning of “Possess”
In our earthly understanding, to possess often implies control or ownership. But in the spiritual realm, divine possession is not about domination...it’s about union, intimacy, and belonging.
When the Bible speaks of believers being God’s possession, it’s a declaration of identity and covenant. We are His, not by force, but by love. Through the Holy Spirit, He doesn’t just walk beside us...He dwells within us. This indwelling is not cold ownership; it’s the warm embrace of divine love taking root in our soul.
To be possessed by God is to be fully known, fully loved, and continually pursued. It’s the holy intertwining of two souls...Creator and creation in a sacred dance of surrender.
It is not losing yourself.
It is finding who you were always meant to be…
In Him.
