THE ACTIVITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A GREAT PART OF THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE BELIEVER. HE IS VERY ACTIVE IN ALL WE DO OR SAY IF WE WELCOME HIM. HE WANTS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED, FOR HE IS THE THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD: GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE TRINITY. HE WAS ALWAYS GOD.

WHEN HE WAS ACTIVE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, IT WAS FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION.

THIS IS ALSO TRUE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT FROM THE OLD, IS THAT WHEN JESUS CAME TO EARTH AND COMPLETED HIS WORK HERE, HE THEN WENT BACK TO THE FATHER AND SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO ABIDE (LIVE) WITH US FOREVER, AS HE PROMISED IN JOHN 14.

CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE REALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT PERVADES (SATURATES) THE ENTIRE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION.

MANY OLD TESTAMENT WRITERS REFER TO THE SPIRIT, AND ONLY THREE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BOOKS DO NOT ALUDE TO HIM (AND THESE ARE VERY SHORT – PHILEMON AND 2ND AND 3RD JOHN).

IT IS TRUE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE KEY FIGURE OF ALL GOD’S PLAN. THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF FOCUSES ATTENTION ON CHRIST AND SEEKS TO GLORIFY HIM (JN. 15:26; 16:14). BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS EVER IGNORED IN THE BIBLE OR THAT HE IS EVER TREATED AS SOME VAGUE INFLUENCE OR IN PERCEPTABLE ENERGY. HE IS RECOGNIZED AS A REAL PERSON WITH INTELLIGENCE, FEELING, AND WILL.   1

HOW TO REAP AND NOT FAINT

GALATIANS 6;7-9     BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED: FOR WHATSOEVER  A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.

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.

AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING; FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT.

WE CHOOSE THE SEED, WE CHOOSE THE HARVEST.

DECEPTION IS A SPIRIT THAT TRIES TO BLURR OUR SPIRITUAL VISION AND DETERMINE OUR HARVEST.

SOWING AND REAPING IS A SPIRITUAL LAW, IT IS A LAW OF THE KINGDOM, IT IS UNCHANGING.

THE ONLY WAY NOT TO GROW WEARY IS TO LIVE IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.

THE ONLY SEED THAT WILL PROTECT US FROM WEARINESS IS LOVE.

LOVE IS THE MEDICINE FOR WEARINESS.

IF WE SOW LOVE WE WILL REAP LOVE.

LOVE MUST BECOME A LIFE STYLE FOR THE CHRISTIAN THAT IS OBEDIENT AND BLESSED, BEARING MUCH FRUIT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

LOVE HAS NO JEALOUSY, LOVE IS NOT COMPETIVE.

LOVE ALLOWS GOD TO FIGHT OUR BATTLES.

LOVE ALLOWS ALL THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT TO GROW IN OUR LIVES.

FORGIVENESS LIVES IN LOVE. YOU AND I WILL BE TESTED SOMETIMES DAILY, SOMETIMES HOURLY, BUST WE MUST NOT BE DECEIVED BY SATANS TACTICS. STAY IN LOVE, WALK WITH A FORGIVING ATTITUDE.

UNFORGIVENESS DROWNS LOVE AND CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF HOSTILITY, AND A CROP WE DON’T WANT TO HARVEST.

SATAN  PLANS A STRATEGY TO DECEIVE US, AND TO LEAD US INTO STRIFE.

IF WE LISTEN, WE BEGIN TO SOW TO THE FLESH.

A LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD OF OUR CONCIENCE, THE LIGHT SAYS CHECK FAITH ENGINE, OUR SHIELD OF FAITH IS NOT WORKING .

THEN ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON, DOOR IS NOT SHUT, INSTANTLY A DOOR IS OPEN FOR SATAN TO ATTACK.

FORGIVE AND WALK IN LOVE, THE OTHER FRUIT GROWING ON THE SAME TREE WILL HARVEST. JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING,(PATIENCE) GENTLENESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE. 

ALL OF THIS ENERGY FROM THE FRUIT WILL KEEP US FROM GROWING WEARY.
