Quench not the Spirit. (1 Thess. 5:19 KJV) The instruction above is a solemn admonition of the apostle Paul to Thessalonian Christians, which is evidently applicable to the church today. He says, “Quench not the Spirit.” The immediate context of the verse gives us one specific example of what it means to quench the Spirit, […]
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has been given by God the Father to every believer in Christ. The Spirit is God Himself. God came to us as Jesus, a Man, and later as His Spirit to dwell within us. The secret of a victorious, perpetually flourishing and ever triumphant christian life is hid in our fellowship with the Spirit of God. Sadly, there has been so much controversy, doubts, debates, ignorance and uncertainties regarding the Person and the Work of the Spirit in our lives. Yet we cannot relate with God, live a successful christian life or do the work of God without the Holy Ghost. Many of our frustrations in christianity can be traced back to our dysfunctional or immature fellowship with the Spirit. I pray that these devotionals and articles will deepen your understanding of who the Spirit is and His workings in our lives.
Thou Art With Me
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me (Ps. 23:4 KJV). David had come to the point of knowing fully that God was with him. He could boldly declare that even though he […]
Abide in Me
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me (Jn. 15:4 KJV). Jesus commands us in the verse above to abide in Him if we are to be fruitful. Jesus is the Vine and […]
Joy in His Presence
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore (Ps. 16:11 KJV). There is joy in the presence of God. If we are therefore in need of joy, we now know where to find it! People might sometimes look for […]
You are in the Spirit
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His (Rom. 8:9 NKJ). Romans 8:9 above states in very clear terms that you are not in the flesh, but in the […]
The Angel of His Presence
In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them . . . (Isa. 63:9 NKJ). The Angel of His Presence was the angel that brought the Israelites out of Egypt and into the promised land. This angel is called […]
Do You Love Your Neighbor?
And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Rev. 20:15 NKJ) Hell is a place of torment reserved for sinners who reject the salvation that Jesus brings. But do you know that hell is not the end of it? The scripture says, “And death and hell […]
What Does The Holy Spirit Look Like?
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever (Jn. 14:16 NKJ) One reason why we have difficulty relating with the Holy Spirit is because He seems to be too abstract or mysterious to us, “like the wind!” We humans function with pictures in […]
