God is Spirit

“God is Spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” - John 4:24

Don’t ever think the word spirit means ghostly or invisible. God most definitely has a visible form. The Holy Spirit is so glorious and so indescribable. The Holy Spirit lives within us. Just as surely as our Lord is Spirit; Our Lord is love. Love is not only something God does it is who God is. So that who we are once we have accepted the Lord as our personal Savior, we are love and the Spirit lives within us.

How do we treat the temple of the Holy Spirit?

“Only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you” - Genesis 41:40

I am accountable to God for the way I control my body under his authority. Every Christian can have his body under absolute control for God. What I must decide is whether or not I will agree with my Lord and Master that my body will indeed be his temple. Once I agree all the rules, regulations and requirements of the law concerning the body are summed up for me in this revealed truth – my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Put God First!

Jesus did not commit himself to them…for he knew what he was in man. - John 2:24-25

Our Lord never put his trust in any person. He put his trust in God First. He trusted absolutely in what God’s grace could do for others. If I put my trust in human beings first, the end result will be my despair and hopelessness toward everyone. I will become bitter because I have insisted that people be what no person can ever be, absolutely perfect and right. Never trust anything in yourself or in anyone else, except the grace of God.

Our Work is God’s Work

Jesus got into one of the boats…that belonged to [Peter], and asked him to push off a little from the land. - Luke 5:3

Jesus claims Peter’s boat. He doesn’t request the use of it. Christ doesn’t ask permission, he doesn’t have to; he boards the boat and begins to preach. He can do that, you know all the boats belong to Christ! Your boat may be your car, your house, the store you manage. Jesus says, to all of us let your light shine. Where ever you are whatever you do give God the honor and glory, because without him we have nothing.
