Holy Spirit Is A Person

 Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
So many people only quote the first part of the verse.
Yes there is no condemnation (The act of condemning; the judicial act of declaring one guilty, and dooming him to punishment.) if you are in Christ Jesus IF you walking ie living by the Spirit and not the flesh.
Holy Spirit is a person just like Jesus and God the Father are. He is the one who draws you to salvation, lives with in you when you get saved and will empower you to overcome sin in your life if you choose to walk along with Him.
Holy Spirit’s leading isn’t one where He is way out in front yelling at you to come on nor is He behind you driving or pushing you. He is the Comforter who will walk alongside you. Kinda like a person who can see who walks alongside someone who is blind or someone who’s eye sight is limited to just in front of them. He sees it all and if we who can’t see all would just lock arms with Him He will lead us into all that is good and away from all that’s sin.
The choice is ours. Do we trust our poor eye sight enough to go it alone or do we rely Holy Spirit to guide us?
Me I choose to do my best to cling to His arm for dear life.
Remember Holy Spirit knows it all and sees it all. Why would we ever trust ourselves to take one step without Him?

The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence

  The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence I was reading an account of a preacher’s experience that I had previous heard him describe before in a sermon.

These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them.  In fact, they had inspired me.  This time, though, was different.  This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear.  No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

Fragrance

  Fragrance   2 Corinthians 2:14-15   Now thanks  be  to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  15  For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.   Today in a prayer meeting someone mentioned the word fragrance as they were praying. The first thing that popped into my head was of a college student who had come into my store yesterday.  This young man had gone a little overboard, in my opinion, with his cologne.  It was so strong that I could smell him coming.  I also have customers who come in to the store with a different type of fragrance, one that isn’t pleasant.  In both cases you can smell them before you even see them and also the fragrance sticks around for a while after they leave.  The point of this being that fragrance influences and ...
