‘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.
