On the Holy Spirit and awareness of God

[Boanerges]

Rom 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;


Through scripture we know these things about the Holy Spirit:
He is so precious to the Father that He would not send Him until Jesus Himself asked.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Though He is God Himself in all His power He is easily grieved and easily quenched being gentle and loving in nature.
As Christains we know He walks beside us every day longing to be a part of every detail in our life. He wants to be a part of our work, school, play, relationships, decisions and etc to the tiniest degree He wants to be there . As Teacher, Helper, Comforter, Guide and so much more. We must become "God conscience" or in other words we must learn to become aware of the fact that we are indwelt by and in the very presence of the precious Holy Spirit of God each moment.
Gal 5:16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
There is no desire to sin when we are cognizant of His manifest presence, we learn to love Him and appreciate His fellowship. We become sensitive to His leading and love to bring joy to Him. He reveals the Father to us, He reveals Jesus to us, He reveals the Word to us. We become so involved in this loves relationship that it would break our heart to think of grieving Him, That my friend is the walk we are called to. That is the walk that is available to us even now.
Can you imagine the blindness of those who purposefully reject this? Can you imagine the bondage they are in and the dark future that waits them? We certainly need to be in prayer for these that God Himself would reach down and break the hardness from their hearts before they go to far. I let God be the judge of that however and do not give up on praying as only He knows whne one of these has crossed that line.
Remember it is our Father's heart to never miss even one who would have Him. In the end those who reject Him never wanted to be with Him. The name they call themselves can often have very little to do with what is in their hearts. The very fact you and I feel this tug in our heart to be closer to Him is a sing from God that His hand is on us.
My friends, blaspheming of the Holy Spirit is never an accidental thing. The one example we are given is the hard hearted ,religious core group of Jesus day which was the Pharisees.
Jesus walk amongst them in the power of the Spirit. In the power of the Holy Spirit He brought life, revelation, healing and even raised the dead. Because it conflicted with their ability to control and manipulate the people they chose to call these acts of heavenly love as acts of the devil. Thus they denied the Living Christ and called the precious Holy Spirit (with full knowledge) Satan himself.
So dear friend let us walk in that to which we are called that we may manifest the very nature of that Holy Vine through which all goodness flows
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth
Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:


Php 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

1Th 5:19 Quench not the Spiri

1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.


Rom 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.



1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.


1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Eph 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Many blessings in Jesus wonderful Name, brother Larry.

<b>Christ Jesus is sinless; having a divine nature. He's the Son of God, and was ALSO "the son of man" whom was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary, and was born to her: flesh and bone, in a time far past. He was the perfect, sinless sacrifice for our sins, being the Lamb of God.

We, Man, are sinners, with a sinful nature, inherited from the first man, Adam, and dwell in bodies of flesh predisposed to sin, carnally fueled by lusts and desires. Those in Christ Jesus, even I, are made partakers of the divine nature through Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus sanctifies, even purifies the hearts of those who put their faith in him, even I, through his Spirit, even the Holy Spirit, which is given to a man from God, through Christ Jesus, even to those whom have faith in Christ Jesus.</b>


The Epistle of Peter Chap. 1 : 2-8 states:

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.


<b>Servants of Christ Jesus suffer, for Gold is tried in the fire. SANCTIFICATION IS A PROCESS. Out of the heart of men(a paraphrase of the mind) proceeds evil thoughts. Jesus Christ is able to purify our hearts of all unrighteousness.</b>


The Book of Jeremiah Chap. 17 : 9-10 states:

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.


The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews Chap. 4 : 12-16 states:

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


<b>Christ Jesus was given all power and authority over all, including flesh, by God, and it is he whom sanctifies those whom are his, purifying their hearts unto obedience to his commands/word, that they may be found acceptable before him and be fit for his use.</b>


Consider:

Included in his sayings Unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans the Amen said, as it is written in the KJV translation of The Book of Revelations Chap. 3 : 19:

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.


<b>Those in Jesus Christ, even I, are Adopted Children of God through Jesus Christ, even Children of Jesus Christ: for by him does one believe in God.</b>


The First Epistle of Peter Chap. 4 : 12-13 states:

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


<b>We cannot overcome our sins on our own, but only by the Lord's grace through our faith in him may we overcome our sins. To Think one can do it on their own, with their own power, and strength would be thinking in err.</b>


Christ Jesus said in a time far past, as it is written in The Gospel according to John Chap. 15 : 4-5:

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.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.


Christ Jesus said in a time far past, as it is written in The Gospel according to John Chap. 15 : 1-2:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.


The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews Chap. 12 : 6-11 states:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.


Ecclesiasticus Chap. 2 : 1 states:

My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation.
2 Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble.
3 Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.

5 For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
6 Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him.


<b>PRAYER IS IMPORTANT.


Christ Jesus is our support, he is head of the household(whom are we), and our solid and firm foundation. He know's all that we deal with, he is merciful and compassionate, and is able to deliver out of affliction.</b>


The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews Chap. 2 : 14-18 states:

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.


The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Chap. 10 : 13 states:

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.


The below verse(14) I agree with, and find to be a wise saying.

The Book of Psalms Chap. 27 : 14 states:

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.


The First Epistle of Peter Chap. 5 : 8-10 states:

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.


The Epistle of Paul to the Romans Chap. 8 : 28-39 states:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
