The Ability of the Holy Spirit Upon You
You are in this world but the world does not define who you are. We are of God’s design and He alone defines us. We are born of His Spirit when we are born again.
John 3:5-8
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Jesus defined being born again as being born of the Holy Ghost. Say that out loud, “I’m born of the Holy Spirit.” The devil hates hearing that. We are alive unto God, the new real us is our newly created Spirits. We have seen that this is what Jesus was anointed with that made Him the Christ. The Lord gave me this definition for the anointing, it is, “the ability of the Holy Spirit upon the believer to achieve the will of the Holy Spirit.” This anointing is what sent Jesus in the world, and it is what sends us in the world.
John 20:21-22
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Jesus was saying receive that Spirit that has sent Me. So that makes us sent ones as well.
Through humility and reverence to the working of God, we bring to the surface all that saves us, and that would be everything that is working in us mightily. Once we received Christ as Lord we work out that salvation with reverence and humility.
Philippians 2:12-13
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
We manifest outwardly that which makes us children of God when we yield to what is working in us mightily. Through exalting this working to the highest place we manifest the sons of God in the earth.
We’ll continue tomorrow.
Have an awesome day. 😊
