Feeling The Spirit

My Utmost For His Highest

 

‘The term Holy Spirit is actually another name for the experience of eternal life working in human beings here and now. The Holy Spirit is the deity of God who continues to apply the power of the atonement by the Cross of Christ to our lives. Thank God for the glorious and majestic truth that His Spirit can work the very nature of Jesus into us, if we will only obey Him.’ CHAMBERS

 

Ephesians 1:13-14  In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,  who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

 

1 Corinthians 6:18-20  Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.  Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?   For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

 

Are you aware of the Spirit’s presence in your life?  Unfortunately, for most of us, the reality of His presence because to us like the shoes we wear.  You know you have your shoes on your feet, but you don’t feel them … unless they don’t fit well, that is.  Everywhere we go, we take our shoes with us. And in a similar way, everywhere we go, we take the Spirit of God with us.  There is never a time when the Spirit is not in us.  How can we behave as if God is not watching .. aware .. present?

 

Our challenge is to be constantly aware of the Spirit’s presence in our lives .. the way we do that is by feeding the Spirit, if you will.  The more we seek God, the less we follow the ways of the world.  The less of the world that is in us and more of the Word, the brighter the light that radiates from our lives.

 

A brief word about sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6) Jesus said of you think the sin, then you have committed the sin in your heart.  Be careful about what you consider acceptable entertainment.  You cannot watch sexual immorality on TV or in the movies and not sin. WHAT! Does that sound extreme?  Our hearts become hardened toward those things that the Word says are sin … in fact we consider them entertainment … I encourage you to pray through this .. search the scriptures before you discount what I say.
