HAVE A SECRET PLACE
November 9, 2019What is a Christian without the Holy Spirit? You can never say that you are a Christian without the Holy Spirit, we need to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Moreover, what is a relationship without commitment, discipline, sacrifice, and communication? Without these, there is no relationship, so we need to be committed to God and be able to sacrifice as we decrease ourselves for God to increase. Our lives need to be able to stop whenever God says it must for His sake. We need to be able to sacrifice and let go of your lives. Our daily routines must change for the sake of God. We need to be able to speak to God but without fellowship we fail to hear God. It is not only communication that is required in a relationship, but also spending time together. Therefore, have fellowship with the Holy Spirit and do not ignore Him.
[John16:13] We need to be guided always. The day you said yes to salvation, you chose to be led. As a result, you cannot make your own decisions with the Holy Spirit in you. For when He comes, He speaks according to the authority given to Him. So the Holy Spirit will guide you with the same authority. Without a relationship with the Holy Spirit you will not know what to expect in life but will live like a headless chicken; running in cycles of the world.
Saying yes to Jesus was a sign that you want to be led and shown where to go and which steps to take. Yet without a relationship, there is no way you can be guided. As a result, you will lack direction, a goal, purpose and a destiny but will be like an ordinary person with no way forward. Christians need to know what is coming their way, what attacks are coming. So, through this sacrifice, commitment and fellowship with God, we will be knowledgeable. Do not ignore the person [Spirit] in you, but fellowship with the Spirit. I always say that God is speaking, it is people who cannot hear. For instance, I believe that a child born deaf grows up thinking that people around him/her are not speaking; only to realise as he matures that he is the one with a problem. We have Christians who are like this, they cannot hear God, but He has been speaking. They realise as maturity kicks in that it is them who have not been paying attention to God.
As I grew spiritually, I realised that the Holy Spirit was deposited in us when got born again because the bible clearly tells us that no one can believe without the Holy Spirit. So, He came into us before we could even say yes Jesus. The bible says that Jesus could not be offered without His internal Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit, meaning that the Holy Spirit has been leading, He is the operational department of God. There is nothing that can come into place without Him. So let us not be ignorant but observant even throughout this prayer as we focus on God. Let us hear Him more than we have heard Him in our lives.
