Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.
10 Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God. 11 Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!
And in Hebrews chapter 11, The Holy Spirit recorded:
6 And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him.
There are two types of people who study Scripture: those who are passionate and those who study out of duty. Those who are passionate have tapped into walking in The Holy Spirit and are overjoyed with FATHER’S Word whereas those who study out of duty know it is needful but have lost their zeal because they are not experiencing the Joy of THE LORD.
When we are led by The Holy Spirit and no longer question or challenge the path we are to walk on, we have a sense of peace that surpasses our understanding. We do not give in to lust or pride and are not moved by the adversary’s attempts to knock us off the straight and narrow path. We want to renew our mind because it can be transformed and become aligned with our spirit. However, the body cannot. We must not allow our flesh to have its way at any time.
There is a harvest out there and we need to be prepared to do our part. FATHER has ordained for us to participate as we walk in Agape Love toward others. It is not HIS will that any should perish and we need to be lights unto this dying world. As our passion is seen as a “fire” in our eyes, people will respond. Some will be offended but they will not discourage us in any way. “Social acceptance” will not cause our mouths to be shut as we speak forth as The Holy Spirit guides us.
FATHER will reward us as we faithfully walk out our purpose and look forward to what each day brings. We will look forward to being a blessing to others without any strings attached. We will have no ulterior motive to “take” from those to whom we minister. We will experience each day where The Holy Spirit will have us walk in a “just in time” reality. What we once thought were delays will be revealed as HIS timing. What we thought were coincidences were simply HIS plan being accomplished in the correct sequence. HIS timing is everything!
Let us look forward to beginning each day by praying in The Holy Spirit and renewing our minds with FATHER’S applicable Word for that day. A strong spirit and a renewed mind will bring the flesh into full submission. If you ask FATHER to wake you up early, HE will oblige. I can attest to HIS response and it pleases HIM to see HIS Sons and Daughters place HIS Divine Intent above all other priorities.
