Living In The Spirit

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.”

ISAIAH 41:10

The life of power in the spirit occurs after you have been completely weakened in your conscious abandonment of your normal life. In extreme weakness heightened by your faith in the Lord - his spirit - his strength - and his life take over your living flesh.

The only flame that burns eternal is that of the spirit of Jesus. It is for this reason you must abandon yourself - so that the Lord may bring you his spirit - his peace - his joy in replacement for the passing away of the human way of life.

The Holy Spirit is what allows you to follow Christ all the way. There is no heavenly power in human will or fear. The power resides in the truth of The Holy Spirit which is not known without having it.

Self-preservation is the antithesis of life in The Holy Spirit. Preserve not what is dying - but abandon yourself to the truth of Jesus in acceptance of his Holy Spirit. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and be baptized with water in the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit - it is here that life begins and true wisdom is gained.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17

“Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Galatians 2:20-21

“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38
