The Mighty Holy Spirit |
BACK |
The Holy Spirit always acts on or is activated by
works of obedience that require faith.
He
takes the impossible and makes it possible. He makes
the improbable probable. He opens doors no man can
close. He defends the faithful with blessings. He
gives power to get wealth. He heals the sick. He
gives wisdom to invent. He gives counsel to the
hopeless. He gives understanding of deep mysteries.
He is our consoler. He is our teacher. He is our
guide. He fills us with joy and peace. He convinces
us of sin, righteousness and the victory we have
over Satan. He created the universe and all in it.
He seals God's chosen for eternity.
He dwells in the hearts of God's children. He
empowers God's children with what they need when
doing God's will. His love casts out all fear and
it's slavery.
The WHOLE Holy Spirit in all it's incredible power
is within us as stated in Galatians 4:
6 -7
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art
no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then
an heir of God through Christ.
To the
degree that we allow the Holy Spirit to work within
us and transform us is the measure that He will do
exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or
think. All things, even every test is their to
produce the fruit of the spirit in us and then bless
us beyond our wildest dreams.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think, according to the power that worketh in
us,
Ro 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with
all joy and peace in believing, that ye may
abound in hope, through the power of the Holy
Ghost.
The Holy Spirit
is given to all that are God's children, but is only
activated by those that love him and humble
themselves and seek him early. In Proverbs 8 we find
the Spirit of Wisdom talking and explaining how and
who receives Him and what blessings He brings to
those that embrace Him.
Proverbs 8:12 I wisdom
dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of
witty inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride,
and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward
mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am
understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree
justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the
judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek
me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable
riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine
gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the
midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to
inherit substance; and I will fill their
treasures.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching
daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my
doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall
obtain favour of the LORD.
We
do not work for money nor for promotions, but we
work for God in all we do. Using every opportunity
to teach and make disciples with all that God has
given us and as we do God will give us the power to
get wealth for His children.
Colossians 3:22
Servants, obey in all things your masters
according to the flesh; not with eye service, as
men pleasers; but in singleness of heart,
fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to
the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive
the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve
the Lord Christ.
De 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy
God: for it is he that gives thee power to
get wealth,
that he may establish his covenant which he
sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Now Faith works
through Love as mentioned in Galatians. By faith we
endure all things, hope all things, suffer all
things and believe all things. Without faith we can
not do this and work with all our hearts as
employees, we need to do it as servants of God. I
have personally experienced many times in my life
where God has stepped in to provide me with wisdom,
knowledge, understanding as well as protect me in
the workplace.
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither
circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by
love.
We
need to take the reins of our carnal emotions so as
not to be led by them but to use them to motivate us
in doing God's will, God's way. Actually that is why
one of the fruits of the Spirit of God is self
control, since self control is to exercise control
over our fleshly emotions and then use or channel
them towards actions that require faith and thereby
bring a reward from God. Hebrews 11:6 Remember it
is only the things that require faith that please
God and bring rewards from God in our lives and
opens the doors of heaven to ask whatsoever and
receive it from God. WOW!
"But
without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he
is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him."
Then like John
states in 1 John 3:22
"And
whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we
keep his commandments, and do those things that
are pleasing in his sight."
The
only things that are pleasing to God are acts of
obedience that require FAITH to do them. |
