Romans 8:1-17
Observation: – When in regeneration we receive our new spirit, we receive God\’s Spirit too. The moment our human spirit is raised from the state of death, we receive the Holy Spirit. We often say that the Holy Spirit dwells in our spirit, but we find it hard to discern which is the Holy Spirit and which is our own spirit. The Holy Spirit and our spirit have become so mingled; while each is distinctive, they are not easily distinguished.
Thus, the release of the spirit is the release of the human spirit as well as the release of the Holy Spirit, Who is in the spirit of man. Since the Holy Spirit and our spirit are joined into one, they can be distinguished only in name, not in fact. And since the release of one means the release of both, others can touch the Holy Spirit whenever they touch our spirit. Thank God that inasmuch as you allow people to contact your spirit, you allow them to contact God. Your spirit has brought the Holy Spirit to man.
Application
- When the Holy Spirit is working, He needs to be carried by the human spirit.
- The electricity in an electric bulb does not travel like lightning. It must be conducted through electric wires. If you want to use electricity, you need an electric wire to bring it to you. In like manner, the Spirit of God employs the human spirit as His carrier, and through it He is brought to man.
Prayer.
Pray about god using you more than you are currently experiencing. There is great need for the manifestation of the sons of God. Pray that you will be able to give the sacrifice required and demanded as people make a demand on the anointing.
- Israel is the innumerable seed, like “the sand of the sea shore” that He scattered, but promised to gather and keep them as a shepherd does his flock (Jer 31:10). As YHVH takes charge of His flock, He will feed them on good pasture but He will sift them by the extermination of the fat and violent ones. Praise Him that indeed the heavens have made this declaration and that in every generation, no matter the trials and attack on Israel in their nation and in the Diaspora, YHVH has overshadowed them and protected them and preserved them. Rom 9.15
- Proclaim Isaiah 40:11, Ezekiel 34:12-16 over the nation of Israel and Jewish people the world over.
