The Daily Word of Righteousness
Led by the Spirit
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
At one time Jesus Christ lived on the earth as a Man. He taught us concerning the Kingdom of God. Now He has returned to the Father. The Lord Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to enable us to become His Body, His Bride, and to enter the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is with us and in us and performs all the will of God in the Church.
The Holy Spirit is God. Often we associate the Holy Spirit with a good feeling, with gifts, with revelations, with wisdom, with speaking in tongues and so forth. The Holy Spirit gives all these things but He Himself is above them. He is God.
We are baptized in water into the Holy Spirit because He is a Member of the Godhead.
On numerous occasions Christians confuse the Holy Spirit with other spirits and voices that are active in the assemblies of Christians.
The gift of the prophet and all other gifts are subject to the prophet or to whoever possesses the gift. The Holy Spirit, being God, is never subject to the prophet.
The Holy Spirit acts sovereignly in the Church.
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. (Acts 13:2)
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. (I Corinthians 12:11)
"I have called them." "He will."
The Holy Spirit gives the gifts. The Holy Spirit directs the ministry.
The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father to obtain a pure, holy Bride for the Lamb. The Holy Spirit never draws attention to Himself, only to the Lamb, Christ.
We are never to pray to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit assists us as we pray to the Father in Jesus' name or to the Lord Jesus Himself.
Whoever receives the Lord Jesus receives the right to be a child of God. But as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
It is God's will that all saved people on the earth learn to live by and in God's Spirit.
There are only two ways in which a person can think, speak, and act. He or she can think, speak, and act according to the fleshly mind and desires of the flesh and soul, or he or she can think, speak, and act according to the Spirit of God.
To live according to the flesh is to bring corruption and death.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:13)
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:8)
To live according to the Spirit of God is to gain eternal life and peace.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:6)
To be continued.
