And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. 1John 3:24
Our Savior, our Sovereign Lord, the Powerful God is in us. Amazing thing! Receive this revelation!
When we realize that, the enemy becomes very angry. And if you don´t realize this, if you don´t understand this blessing you feel like a loser, defeated, disappointed....
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Psalms 51:11
David had this comprehension that he could not live without the Holy Spirit. We can´t live without God. That´s why unbelievers live depressed, anxious, sick...
Instead, be filled with the Spirit.Ephesians 5:18b
It´s not a matter of devotion. But a lifestyle of not being satisfied. It´s a matter of being hungry of the Holy Spirit.
When you live seeking God, you feel that, as time passes, you change. You must be full of the Holy Spirit. Otherwise you will not be sensitive enough to listen to waht the Lord wants to say to you, even if you are asking Him for that.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.1John 4:4
We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.1John 5:19
We have the responsability of spreading God´s word. To make those who live without God listen that there is another kind of life available.
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.1 John 4:13-16
Sometimes you feel as you´re not able to overcome problems.
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.1 John 5:5
So, God gives you power through Jesus!
Do you have enough faith?
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33
How do we have peace in the Lord? Resting in Him. Trusting in God.
God warns us all the time. He instructed us: my children you will have trouble. He gives us advices. How merciful God is!
Take heart! Take heart brother!
That´s the way we overcome trouble: because God overcame the world!
For there are three that testify. 1 John 5:7
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him--the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. Isaiah 11:2
(A suggestion: say this verse as a prayer, change the word "him" for your name!)
Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:5-7
If you have thoughts of death, despair, sadness, for sure they come from the flesh, of the mind of the flesh.
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mindf is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.Romans 8:6
Another prayer, in Isaiah 61:1-3:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Galatians 4:6 : Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
If you are living gy the Spirit:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.Galatians 5:22-25
