Dwelling In The Spirit
Introduction: Spirit is the force within a person that is believed to give the body life, energy, and power. It is the inner quality or nature of a person; the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; or the soul. Living in the Spirit means living as a child of God. Romans 8:14 says “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father.” For anyone to dwell in the spirit there is a need to first receive Christ as the Lord and savior.
Activating The Prophecies And The Promises Of God
Introduction: To activate means to make something active or function. Prophecy means foretelling or predicting what is to come. It is something that is declared by a prophet, especially a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation. A promise is a declaration that something will or will not be done or given. The prophet and his people both have responsibilities. The duty of a prophet is to proclaim God’s message faithfully; and the people’s duty is to receive and apply it to their lives. Prov. 3:5 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.” In Lk. 1:29 – 37 the word of the Lord came to Mary.
Always Remember To Give Thanks
Introduction: Thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude, especially to God. It is the act of giving thanks, grateful acknowledgement of benefits or favors, especially to God. Only God is reliable and dependable. He is the unchangeable changer and the unmovable mover. He is the mountain mover and the one who opens doors. We must always remember to give thanks because this is the will of God for all of us (I Thess. 5:18).
