A New Spirit, and God\’s Spirit (i)
SCRIPTURE: A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. And I
will put my Spirit within you.\’ -Ezekiel 36: 26, 27.
GOD has revealed Himself in two great dispensations. In the Old we have the time of
promise and preparation, in the New that of fulfilment and possession. In harmony with the
difference of the two dispensations, there is a twofold working of God\’s Spirit. In the Old
Testament we have the Spirit of God coming upon men, and working on them in special
times and ways, working from above and without, inwards. In the New we have the Holy
Spirit entering them and dwelling within them, working from within, outwards and upwards.
In the former we have the Spirit of God as the Almighty and Holy One; in the latter we have
the Spirit of the Father of Jesus Christ.
The difference between the twofold, operation of the Holy Spirit is not to be regarded as if,
with the closing of the Old Testament, the former ceased, and there was in the New no more
of the work of preparation. By no means. Just as there were in the Old blessed anticipations
of the indwelling of God\’s Spirit, so now in the New Testament the twofold working still
continues. According to the lack of knowledge, or of faith, or – of faithfulness, a believer may
even in these days get little beyond the Old Testament measure of the Spirit\’s working. The
indwelling Spirit has indeed been given to every child of God, and yet he may experience
little beyond the first half of the promise, the new spirit given us in regeneration, and know
almost nothing of God\’s own Spirit, as a living person put within us. The Spirit\’s work in
convincing of sin and of righteousness, in His leading to repentance and faith and the new
life, is but the preparatory work. The distinctive glory of the dispensation of the Spirit is
His Divine personal indwelling in the heart of the believer, there to reveal the Father and
the Son. It is only as Christians understand and remember this, that they will be able to claim
the full blessing prepared for them in Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Eph. 3:14-19
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the
whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May
be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and
height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled
with all the fulness of God.
Crescents and Quarter Moons
When the moon is shaped like a C or its mirror image (Sickle), it is considered a crescent
moon. The quarter moon is shaped like a D or its mirror image and considered to be a bow.
The occult will use the bow shaped moon to shoot arrows of wickedness to the unsuspecting
in order to draw unfair advantage in various areas of life. The occult use the crescent moon as
sickles (eg Hecate’s sickle), for harvesting the gains of the ignorant and for demonic strength
and fortification with intense enchantments.
Proclaim Psalm 148 and command all creation especially the crescent and Quarter
moons to praise GOD as instructed in Psalm 19.
Proclaim Psalm 64 and fasten that judgment into the heavens especially during the
season of worship of the moon-god, and seek to draw power from the heavens in the
above manner.
Proclaim Isa 26:1-9 and command the heavens to receive this instruction and reject
every other voice of destruction; For strength and fortification “Trust in the LORD
forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength”. Isa 26:4
GOD abhors enchantment, so He warned His people not to be involved in
enchantment. (Lev. 19:26b),
Pray that the occult, involved in intense enchantment will equally and certainly face
the fierce wrath of GOD. (Is. 13:9)
