GOD's SPIRIT Makes Life BLOSSOM

 

Job 33:4 

King James Version

4 The spirit of God hath made me, 

and the breath of the Almighty 

hath given me life.


Is life truly transformed when you follow the Spirit of God?

I can vouch for it.

Here's what happens when you have the Holy Spirit of God in you:

You become a wonderful whirlwind of grace, activity, productivity, certainty, and clarity.

Your life and work bear fruit in honor of God.

You have confidence in God's ways.

You trust God completely.

You delight in praying to Jesus.

Scripture tells you everything you need to know.

When you are Christ's own, all it takes is a prayer, and God will send His Spirit to make things clear for you.

Scripture becomes your foundation.

It springs from the TRUTH of CHRIST.

If demons panic when Jesus is around, don't you think being genuinely the Lord's -- being born again -- can't protect you from all malice, or evil?

We really have no idea the power of Spirit.

But I do, for I work with Spirit each day.

I feel His love, joy, and protection.

Your life takes on new meaning when you serve the Lord.

All become for His GLORY alone.

GOD is all that matters.

Spirit will take care of what needs to be set aside.

By the GRACE of GOD, you will be guided each moment.

Be child-like with God.

As a born again, you don't defy God's will anymore.

You now know His will, and who are we to challenge the Creator, who knows ALL?

Malice, anger, jealousy, greed, vanity, ambition -- all fall away, as you go along.

The Holy Spirit of God will see to that.

Scripture becomes a daily reference.

Everything in your life, work, and relationships are now tested versus what the Word of God says.

Only the Word of God holds true.

You love praying to Jesus for help, for advice, or even just to thank Him.

Chaos in the world doesn't frighten you.

All you know, as a student of Spirit, is that you are only meant to focus on the Word of God.

God takes care of everything.

Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV)

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


Being a student of Spirit means you focus on what God asks you to focus on.

The truth of the matter is that there is great discipline in being a student of SPIRIT.

Who best to follow than the Holy Spirit of God -- the teacher of all things?

I became born again on the same day my eyes were opened to Bible prophecy.

I heard the call.

I felt the urgency.

I didn't even question Spirit.

I hopped aboard His ship.

After that, my life and work blossomed in God's hands.

I am now fulfilling God's plan for me.

And so it will be for you, too, when you embrace Jesus.

The SPIRIT of GOD

 

1 Corinthians 2:13 

King James Version

13 Which things also we speak, 

not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, 

but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; 

comparing spiritual things with spiritual.


What is the Spirit of God?

What does He do?

How do we know it's Him?

What are the "things of God"?

What is the "mind of Christ"?

What are the "deep things of God"?

What is man's wisdom?

Prepare for deep learning in this chapter by apostle Paul:

1 Corinthians 2 

King James Version

2 And I, 

brethren, 

when I came to you, 

came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, 

declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, 

save Jesus Christ, 

and him crucified.

3 And I was with you in weakness, 

and in fear, 

and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching 

was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, 

but in demonstration of the Spirit 

and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, 

but in the power of God.

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: 

yet not the wisdom of this world, 

nor of the princes of this world, 

that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, 

even the hidden wisdom, 

which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: 

for had they known it, 

they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, 

Eye hath not seen, 

nor ear heard, 

neither have entered into the heart of man, 

the things which God hath prepared for them 

that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, 

save the spirit of man which is in him? 

even so the things of God knoweth no man, 

but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, 

not the spirit of the world, 

but the spirit which is of God; 

that we might know the things 

that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, 

not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, 

but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; 

comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, 

yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, 

that he may instruct him? 

but we have the mind of Christ.

DEVOTION to the WORD of GOD

 

Genesis 1:1-3 

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, 

and void; 

and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

And the Spirit of God 

moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, 

Let there be light: 

and there was light.


As a student of SPIRIT, you will naturally be led by Spirit to learning the WORD of GOD.

It becomes a beautiful process each day.

Never mind that you may not be a theologian.

Or even care to become one.

The important thing is you have this burning desire to know the WORD of GOD.

John 1:1-5 

King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any thing made 

that was made.

4 In him was life;

and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.


In the two sets of verses Spirit shared here, you can already see several common themes.

God.

The Word.

Light.


I thank SPIRIT for teaching me all that.

Perhaps, it helped I've been getting a lot of practice.

Been a student of Spirit since 6 September 2019.

So that makes me a student for nearly 19 months now.

An every day practice.

Never routine.

Always different.

But always exciting, and enlightening.

If you are born again, you will love God.

If you love God, you will love His Word.

If you love His Word, you will love JESUS.

For JESUS is the WORD.

Revelation 19:11-13 

King James Version

11 And I saw heaven opened, 

and behold a white horse; 

and he that sat upon him 

was called Faithful and True, 

and in righteousness he doth judge 

and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, 

and on his head were many crowns

and he had a name written, 

that no man knew, 

but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood

and his name is called The Word of God.


And if you love Jesus, you will love Spirit.

For Spirit teaches you about Jesus.

It's full circle.

God -- Jesus -- Holy Spirit.

The Triune God.

Completes the learning.

If you're a student like me, a lover of words, and loving JESUS more, you'll be amazed at what you'll learn from the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

I am committed to know EVERYTHING about GOD.

No one could be more fascinating than the Creator.

The HOLY SPIRIT will teach me everything God would want me to know.

You see, it's always been about obeying God.

On knowing God's will.

That's what Scripture is for.

Who Shall DWELL in GOD's Holy Hill?

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Revelation 3:5 

King James Version

5 He that overcometh, 

the same shall be clothed in white raiment; 

and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, 

but I will confess his name before my Father, 

and before his angels.


Who has a right to be with GOD?

To dwell on His holy hill?

To join Him in His new city?

To partake of the richness of His blessings?

Psalm 24:3-6

King James Version

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? 

or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; 

who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, 

nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, 

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, 

that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.


Psalm 15 

King James Version

15 Lord, 

who shall abide in thy tabernacle? 

who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, 

and worketh righteousness, 

and speaketh the truth in his heart.

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, 

nor doeth evil to his neighbour, 

nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; 

but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. 

He that sweareth to his own hurt, 

and changeth not.

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, 

nor taketh reward against the innocent. 

He that doeth these things shall never be moved.


In SUMMARY, those who will dwell in GOD's holy hill are these kinds of believers:

He that hath clean hands

and a pure heart

who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity

nor sworn deceitfully

He that walketh uprightly

and worketh righteousness

and speaketh the truth in his heart

He that backbiteth not with his tongue

nor doeth evil to his neighbour

nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned

but he honoureth them that fear the Lord

He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

He that putteth not out his money to usury

nor taketh reward against the innocent


Would you be that person?

Then join me, as student of the Holy Spirit, and let us live by GOD's laws.

Let us be worthy of Christ's death on the cross.

Let's turn to the Lord now.

Let us make haste, before it's too late.

It ALMOST Took FOREVER

 

Psalm 15:1 

King James Version

15 Lord, 

who shall abide in thy tabernacle? 

who shall dwell in thy holy hill?


I thought I'd never find God's TRUTH.

I kept searching, researching, buying books, reading books, studying, taking down notes, comparing notes, trying to see a whole to the pieces.

But there was always a hole.

Something didn't quite fit.

Even as I kept praying to God.

Took so long, mind you.

Turned out, God was only waiting for my TOTAL surrender.

Of finally raising the white flag, both hands up in the air, head bowed in defeat, and finally just leaving it all up to Him.

The world had offered me answers.

But they were doctrines of demons.

They tried to mislead me.

I very nearly succumbed.

But there was this last vestige of persistence.

I kept on.

On, and on.

I remained independent of the world.

And God remained elusive.

But He created persistence in me.

He knew I'd find Him.

It was that white flag that did it.

Seeing my complete surrender, God cheerfully put two videos on my plate.

Those videos woke me up.

Something was definitely amiss in the world.

I felt the urgency.

I became born again within the day.

That long wait to know God's truth was definitely worth the wait.

You'll know it for yourself when you've come upon God's TRUTH.

There's no turning back.

No looking back.

Only inching your way forward, guided by the Holy Spirit of God.

You will be kept busy studying, learning, testing, praying, listening, waiting.

Jesus will guide you every step of the way.

You will thirst to know God's Word.

You will want to know it precisely.

You cannot bear to be wrong.

Be patient.

God will reward your diligent heart.

Do you have such a heart?


STUDENT of SPIRIT

 


1 Corinthians 2:10 

King James Version

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.


Are you ready to take on the world?

Do you have the courage?

Do you have the strength?

Do you have the focus?

Do you have the clarity?

You will need all the help you can get.

For the world can overwhelm you.

You will find the world is not of GOD.

But there's the HOLY SPIRIT to guide us.

The world has a different lord.

Scripture attests to that.

Apostle Paul spoke of it:

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


A born again, like myself, is a student of SPIRIT.

That's the only SPIRIT we need to focus on.

That we may conquer that other spirit.

Which seeks our destruction.

You only have to look at the world.

And know how far that spirit has gone.

But we have the SPIRIT of GOD to guide us.

John 4:24 

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit 

and in truth.


It's the only way we can all survive.
