Walking In Abundance- Part 23
November 7, 2026 – 3:23 amAre we embracing the Promise of THE SPIRIT?
About our receiving the blessing, Paul, in Galatians, chapter 3, verse 14, specifies one particular blessing—that we might receive the promise of The Spirit. I believe there’s a special reason for that. I believe the Holy Spirit is the administrator of all the blessings and when we receive Him, then He opens up for us all the blessings and leads us into them. He brings us into our inheritance.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
13-15 “But when He, the Spirit of Truth, [and notice He’s a he; He’s not an it] When He, the Spirit of Truth, [the Holy Spirit] comes, He will guide you into all the Truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He [the Spirit] takes of Mine, and will disclose it to you.” (NASB)
So, everything in the universe belongs initially to God the Father, that God the Father has bestowed everything on God the Son. Jesus says, “All things that the Father has are Mine.” But the Holy Spirit is the administrator of the inheritance of all the wealth of the Godhead.
It’s the Holy Spirit who takes the things that belong to Jesus and discloses them unto us!
It’s the Holy Spirit Who leads us into all the Truth. It’s the Holy Spirit Who shows us our inheritance and shows us how to enter in and claim it. So we need to see these two facts side by side.
The legal basis for our deliverance from the curse was provided by the substitutionary death of Jesus on the cross. He became a curse that we might receive the blessing. But the practical process of entering into the blessing depends upon our relationship to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the guide; He’s the Interpreter. He’s the Administrator. He’s the Steward of the entire wealth of God’s Kingdom. And so, to pass from theory to experience, from theology to having what God intends us to have, we depend on the Holy Spirit.
That’s why Paul emphasizes, particularly, that in passing from the curse to the blessing, we need to receive the promise of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One Who can show you your inheritance. He can illuminate the Scriptures. He can show you what is a curse and what is a blessing. He can point out to you the conditions that you have to fulfill and then He can give you the grace, the faith, the Wisdom, to meet those conditions and to pass out of that curse and into the blessing. That’s God’s way of deliverance from the curse.
What is the greatest impediment to being led by The Holy Spirit? It is the carnal mind.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
7 In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to HIS direction, because it cannot!
The mind will attempt to analyze anything The Holy Spirit instructs you to do. It will try to delay, reinterpret, etc. When this occurs, I speak the following to myself:
Mind, submit to my spirit… spirit take me to My Heavenly Father!
When I do this, peace comes and my mind shuts down. Try it.
