Blessings to you all brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord. In this year of reconciliation I want you to grasp this and master it. In this world and in this life understand that we will be troubled on every side, we will be perplexed, persecuted, cast down, and yet in all these circumstances we are never distressed – despaired – forsaken – destroyed!
The major reason for this is that we have divine wealth in us, a divine deposit from God our Father through the Holy Spirit.
Christ in you who is the hope of glory is the divine light we carry!
The Holy Spirit in you is that deposit you and I carry.

So I want you to imagine the power, unlimited possibilities and what you can do!
Understand that it is a deposit not an surplus or overflow, meaning you and I have a mandate/duty to ensure that this treasure is cherished and grown. We must not grieve the Holy Spirit in us and also we must not dwindle or render Him useless but rather through faith and as we are being transformed from one level of glory to the other as we worship, pray and study the word, we must allow Him to flourish and feel at home.

Grasp this we have resurrection power in the inside of us, therefore any dead situation will arise!
The Apostle Paul says in,
2 Corinthians 4:7-9
[7]However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.
[8]We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;
[9]We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;

So yes, we will go through pain and struggle but because of the divine light of the Gospel in us which is Christ Jesus we are more than conquerors!
