Working On Your Awareness

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘The Holy Spirit’s influence and power were at work before Pentecost, but He was not here. Once our Lord was glorified in His ascension, the Holy Spirit came into the world, and He has been here ever since. We have to receive the revealed truth that He is here. The attitude of receiving and welcoming the Holy Spirit into our lives is to be the continual attitude of a believer. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive reviving life from our ascended Lord.’ CHAMBERS
 
Awareness … it makes all of the difference.  Once you put you clothes on .. you really don’t “feel” them on your body soon after. Even though you are clothed … you are not aware that you are.  Unless they are too small .. for some of us that is a “growing” problem.  Or you walk by a mirror or reflection.
 
Over time, if we are not careful, like our clothes, we can become unaware of the Holy Spirit’s presence.  And when we are unaware of His presence .. we can easily drift from His influence.  We have been sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13)  at the point we are born again, by the Spirit.  (John 3:5-8) And so our bodies become the place where the Spirit resides. (1 Corinthians 6:19)  The Holy Spirit is our helper and teacher (John 14:26) … our partner in prayer (Romans 8:26) … We must be intentional about staying aware of His presence throughout the day … “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:25) It will make  all the difference in your day and in your days ahead.
