25

Chapter 25


"Oh! We need to understand and believe that to be filled with this, the Spirit of the glorified One, is the one need of God's believing people."

Bob has been preaching this all year! What a great reminder to all of us from an 'outside' source - that we we need is what our shepherd has been telling us over and over. The Holy Spirit is not just an add on to the Father and the Son. He is not simply an entity that makes people do weird things on tv when they receive prayer from people in nice suits. He IS GOD, and He has been sent to FILL us. I am always haunted by Christ's words of it being better that He go away so the Holy Spirit can come - how many times have I wished that Jesus was just here in person? I need to renew my mind because the Holy Spirit has been given to me - to us - by Jesus and He lives within us! Prayer becomes a different event when we actually realize that God is within us to teach us, to fill us, to empower us to do it.
