NOTHING WITHOUT THE SPIRIT

HE THAT BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU 
Philippians 1:6
In first Corinthians 13 we read about the fundamental truth about what love really is. By the end of the chapter there is no doubt in our minds that we need this kind of love, not the soap opera kind or the action hero kind but the perfect kind. The God kind. Just as we need love we also need someone else, the one who makes it all possible.

Some Call it LifeToday if you will hear his voice, do not harden your heart. Nor faint at the Lord's rebuke, because he chastens those he loves and scourges every son in whom he receives.
I have a message for those of you who are right at this moment attempting to do something in your life but you find it's so much harder than you could have ever imagined. Your called to perform a task that in spite of your qualifications, your not able from withing to accomplish it. Your confident and determined but deep inside you know that it's not enough. The Fails of the past haunt you every single day, and it's like the devil is on a rampage ripping up every tile you placed down to keep your mind and thoughts on a even scale. 

Your praying but on top of it all, your also extremely busy and as the weeks go by, it feel like there is less time to do and get started on those things. The internal struggle seems to drown out the voice of God and it's like you cant hear God properly not clearly. Your distracted and severely so and you can't seem to turn it around. I could go on here but the truth to answering this dilemma is in this simple fact. You need the Holy Spirit. You need wisdom, you need understanding. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge that leads to the fear of the Lord is in his word. Faith comes by hearing hearing by the word of God.

Now for the Holy spirit.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Phillipians 3:17-20
Your belly is symbolic of the weakest part of you, it effects your will and determines many of the choices you make, as it's directly linked to your self gratification. The moment you step out of that comfort zone your belly tells you to satisfy it, to satisfy yourself. To take leave of the situation and indulge for a moment. Those moments are always most likely carnal and sinful. Our belly causes our mind to take a leave of absence and then your acting in self destruct mode. It can be your god too, but it's also the place from which the birthing process starts and culminates. The moment you get into the flesh your outside of the Will of God, your in the danger zone . Who is the one who keeps you out of danger and warns you of the danger? Yes you got it, it's The Holy Spirit, your absolute best friend. The one that sticks closer to you than any brother. When we neglect the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our bodies, we are endangering our eternal security. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:8

Ephesians 4:29-32
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
You can look up the scripture and read the rest.
Here is another one. 1 Corinthians 3:16-19
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Paul goes on to talk about envying, strife and the wisdom of man etc, but his message is meant to open your eyes to the fundamental truth of the word of God. The word of God is alive and living, the you allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in you fully.
That you will acknowledge that it is the work of the holy spirit to bring you to perfection. That you must desire him in your life because God has promised to give him to those who ask. The work that's being done in you is a work of perfection. Jesus said out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. He chose the weakest part of you to show you that he is able to work in you through your weakness. That his grace is really all you need, and that it can only be done by his Holy Spirit dwelling in you. End of message.

Come Let us go over to the other side.
