Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 1:
19 For it pleased the Father for all the fullness [of deity—the sum total of His essence, all His perfection, powers, and attributes] to dwell [permanently] in Him (the Son),
20 and through [the intervention of] the Son to reconcile all things to Himself, making peace [with believers] through the blood of His cross; through Him, [I say,] whether things on earth or things in heaven. AMPL
And Matthew recorded by THE SPIRIT in Matthew chapter 3:
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Are we satisfied to walk in just the acceptable Will of FATHER or should we expect to walk in the perfect Will of FATHER? When we are to the point of being fully led by THE SPIRIT, we will be walking in HIS perfect Will thus we will be well pleasing unto FATHER. This walk is only for those whose desire to be well pleasing has priority over all other aspects of their life. They seek not the world’s solutions and ways but have discovered FATHER’S Wisdom and plan through HIS Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is truly the road less followed for it does not allow for the carnal man to be fed or exalted in any manner. We are called to die to the flesh and allow the impact of Jesus’ work on the cross to permeate our souls. We are no longer moved by the riches or accolades of the world but seek out the riches in Heaven which are the only enduring riches where there is no rust or corruption.
Agape Love guides us on a daily basis to seek no reward of self interest but instead we look for ways to be well pleasing to FATHER toward mankind, even those who have no current interest in HIS goodness. We look forward to each day to see how The Holy Spirit would guide us and minister FATHER’S Love in the various situations we find ourselves in. How else should we expect HIM to reconcile all men unto HIM unless The Holy Spirit draw them through those who are well pleasing unto HIM?
The ministry of The Holy Spirit is critical to those who are called to walk in the perfect Will of Our Heavenly Father. Being baptized in The Holy Spirit will facilitate us walking in boldness and power as we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Consider what happened when the disciples received the baptism of The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:
40 And with many other words he (Peter) testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
When is the last time you heard of 3,000 souls being added in response to a single message in a meeting? When we walk in FATHER’S perfect Will, we should expect similar results. Let us pursue the fullness of the ministry of The Holy Spirit so that we become well pleasing to FATHER.
