Guided By The Holy Spirit
There is a such a position of conviction when you walk with the Lord. Coming into the Kingdom of God is really a magnificent experience… An experience that cannot be ousted by man. Growing in the Lord Jesus Christ by being nurtured and discipled by mature Christians that have like faith is also a dynamic part of Kingdom living… (Ephesains 4:1-13) Christ being the center of all that you do and hope for. If we are going to have a spiritual life the new need to walk by the Spirit… But I say, walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16 ESV). Know that the flesh is always trying to be gratified and comforted in some way! When you continue in the Spirit you will be led by the Spirit and the flesh will not have it victory over you (Galatians 5:18). No law of the flesh can never conquer the Spirit led life. Those that are saved from the law of the flesh have been crucified with Christ and sin no longer has it dominion of them… (Romans 6:14). As we live by the Spirit we we will walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:25) and we will pray in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18).
The uniqueness of the Holy Spirit and His presence in our lives is that He has come to us with purpose and will guide us through life with conviction. Being convinced of His presence and obeying His guidance is a life long experience and you grow in this daily. The Word never takes from the Holy Spirit but gives the utmost respect and place to Him. Each one in the Kingdom should know that they are no longer their own because they have been bought with a price and that price is the Blood of Jesus Christ. All should know that they are the Temple of the Holy Spirit…(1 Corinthians 6:19). He has come as the Comforter and the Minster of all truth in the life of the child of God (John 14:15). He has come to guide all that are called by the Name of Christ. He will testify of Christ and speak on the authority of what the the Father says. (John 16:12-14). Having this guidance and support in the life that is led by Christ and maintained through prayer and faith is absolutely awesome and noteworthy. Daily the Holy Spirit bears witness in our hearts that we are the sons and daughters of God… (Romans 8:16). As this continues we are completely reminded that those that are led by the Spirit and that are minds are set on the things of the Spirit… (Romans 8:5). So in base truth and then depth and richness of God’s presence we become the sons of God through the Spirit of Adoption and continue to be glorified with Christ… (Romans 8:14-16). The Spirit helps us in our weakness and prays through us when we do not know how to pray… (Romans 8:26).
So when Christ breathed on His disciples (John20:22) and then when the Father sent His Spirit to the upper room at the birth of the Church (Acts 2:1-4) there are dynamics that goes to every generation… For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. (Acts 2:39 ESV)
