THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Tuesday 26 April 2022.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The Holy Spirit within us works on our lifestyle, ways, and mannerism from glory to the next level of glory (Proverbs 4:18)
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now The Lord Is The Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
It is until the Holy Spirit (CEO, Boss) becomes Lord that you will begin to witness transformation in your life.
Many of you know Jesus as a Saviour but He is not yet Lord in your life. When He becomes the Lord He commands, directs, and gives instructions and you obey what He says by practicing it.
Exodus 31:18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
The finger of God here is the Holy Spirit. He is the one if He sits in your heart He begins to write the laws and instructions of God with His finger on the tablet of your heart (1Corithians 3:3)
This only happens when you permit Him to be Lord in your heart.
Your perpetual walk of victory is hinged on total submission to the Person and ministry of the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own [authority,] but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
You can never be led and guided by the Holy Spirit until your will is submitted to Him.
Jesus cried in Gethsemane "not my will but Your will be done" and the Holy Spirit came and strengthened Him (Mark 13:14)
The biggest challenge we have in the body of Christ is the disobedience, lack of reverence, and submission to the Holy Spirit and His ways which begin with the simplicity of scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16)
1 Samuel 28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me [him] up, whom I shall name unto thee.
Saul who was filled with the Holy Spirit died inquiring and consulting the sorcerers, diviners, and wizards.
What happened is that Saul did not value the work of the person of the Holy Spirit in his life. He became self-sufficient lived His own life and disobeyed God's instructions.
That is why the Bible warns us not to grieve, quench and resist Him because He can withdraw at any time.
1 Samuel 28:6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.
In such a critical time Saul was not answered by God because he had not developed a deep fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
If the Holy Spirit means really what He is in your life then begin to create time for Him and develop a vital personal relationship with Him like King David did.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
You need to progress. Sonship is only manifest by men and women who are led by the Spirit and being led comes by submission to the working, leading, and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
