We are meant to walk in righteousness, peace, and joy!
Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:
16 But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see.
17 Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever He is Lord, there is freedom.
When we walk in this freedom, we are able to become all that we were designed to become! The most liberating thing for you and me is to become all that GOD intended us to become. When you become who you are designed to be, you never want to be anyone else. You cease exalting anyone because of their talents and/or resources. You are satisfied with who you are.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:
17 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in the realm of the Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy.
18 Serving the Anointed One by walking in these Kingdom realities pleases God and earns the respect of others.
Two-thirds of the Kingdom are felt realities detected by our five physical senses: peace and joy. Do not disregard the importance of your emotional experience. We don’t follow our emotions, but they are designed to be able to perceive and recognize GOD.
The Holy Spirit will manifest His anointing at times where you physically will perceive His Presence. Occasionally, my wife smells roses at times when The Holy Spirit manifests.
There is a special emphasis on righteousness. We are to walk and conduct ourselves in righteousness. Grace empowers and enables us to live like Jesus. Grace does not give us permission to violate what GOD requires of us.
The Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy. The Kingdom of GOD IS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT! This is why saying what THE FATHER is saying is so critical because our words become Spirit, and that Spirit contains the reality of The Kingdom of GOD.
When Jesus spoke, He released the reality of The Kingdom in the midst of the people. His Words contained the power and authority to bring forth results. The Kingdom was now in their reach and available to them. When we speak what The Holy Spirit has instructed, the same results are available to those who hear. Heaven opens up on behalf of those in need.
When we speak The Words given to us by The Holy Spirit, it is not necessary to understand but simply be obedient to Him. Some Truths were never meant to be comprehended, they are only meant to be admired and be in awe.
When we walk in righteousness, His nature infuses our nature and we become like Him.
Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:
6 Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life,
7 then God’s wonderful peace that transcends (goes beyond) human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.
8 Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and Holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always.
Don’t expect to fully understand what The Holy Spirit is saying, but rather place your trust fully in Him and be obedient to His Word without delay or challenge. Obedience is not conditional else you are attempting to exalt yourself above the Mind of Christ.
Once again, the Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy.
Righteousness is GOD’S answer to the sin problem, peace is GOD’S answer to the torment problem, and joy is HIS answer to the sickness problem.
Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 17:
22 A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.
