Romans 7:22
For
I take delight in the law of God, in my inner self…
When we are full of joy and very happy, our
friends would always remark that we are “full of spirit”. And this is a correct assessment. For happiness, gladness and joy is one proof
that the spirit of the Lord is in us and lives within us. The Holy Spirit promises are in alignment
with a holy and just God. Our bad habits
begin to get cleaned up as we permit the Holy Spirit to show us how to overcome
our bad habits. Our pride gets smaller
and presence of God begins to manifest in our lives.
Disobedience leads to a loss of filling by
the Holy Spirit, which takes away our joy and peace. Although God will not take the Holy Spirit
away from a disciple of Jesus Christ, the continual practice of sin and a lack
of spiritual activities will lead to a life that is no different than the life
of a non-believer.
Walking in the Spirit leads to a sense of
peace and joy, as we partner with God in His glorious plans. Let the Holy Spirit lives inside us let Him
guide our actions and of those who desire His presence. Let the Spirit empowers us and every believers
to step outside of our comfort zone and do extraordinary acts of faith for God.
Being filled with the Spirit involves
transforming our minds to the mind of Christ as we engage in
spiritual activities of prayer and giving glory to God.
As we let the Spirit dwells in us, the God
of hope will fill us with joy and peace in believing, so that we will abound in
hope by the Spirit’s power.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, we thank You for Your Word
and pray that as we think about it together our eyes and our hearts would be
open to what you want to teach us through the Holy Spirit. Teach us to have life changing power in other
people's lives and protect them. For it
is in Jesus name that we pray.
Amen +
Let Your kindness comfort me.
