1 Cor 2:14-15
The man without the
Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
NIV
Another way of knowing that you are a child of God (not as if
you don’t already know if you are truly a child of God) is that you accept and
agree with a deep conviction the things that are inspired by the spirit of God.
You are convicted about things like what we discussed earlier when we talked
about the millennial reign of Jesus and the saints on this same earth, things
like the fact that you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in
heavenly places, things like the fact that you can completely put off the old
sinful nature and put on your new nature of true holiness.
The will of God for you is that you be filled with the Holy
Spirit such that you can discern the things of God by yourself. God wants to
have a sweet fellowship with you. This is how you grow spiritually-by knowing
God
If you have a friend, the more of that friend you know, the
closer you two get, the more of his deep things he reveals to you, the closer
you two get. That is how it is with God. God reveals His mysteries to you
through His spirit that lives in you.
The only way you can truly grow spiritually is by keeping
your fellowship with the Holy Spirit intact. Because He is the Holy Spirit, you
have to be Holy to do this. The good news is that holiness is your new nature
and you can put this on because the grace is abundantly available for you to do
so.
When you have the Spirit of God living in you, you have
unlimited access to all the power in the universe.
Prayer: Father I thank you for this day that you have made. I
ask that you give me the grace to keep the fellowship of your Holy Spirit, and
that you help me to grow into who I should be. Amen
