Knowing The Spirit (vi)
SCRIPTURE: The Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive, for it seeth Him not,
neither knoweth Him: Ye know Him; for He abideth with you, and shall be in you.\’-John 14: 17.
\’Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?’ -1 Cor. 3:16.
The Divine is always first known by believing. As we continue believing, we shall be
prepared to know and to see.
- There is no way of knowing a fruit but by tasting it.
- There is no way of knowing the light but by being in it and using it.
- There is no way of knowing a person but by interactions with him.
- There is no way of knowing the Holy Spirit but by possessing Him and being
possessed of Him. - To live in the Spirit is the only way to know the Spirit.
- To have Him in us, doing His work, giving us His fellowship, and guiding our whole
life. - This is the path the Master opens when He says: \’ Ye know Him, for He shall be in
you.\’
Believer! for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus Paul counted all things but loss.
Shall we not do so too? Can you do so too? Shall we not, to know the glorified Christ through
the Spirit, give up everything?
Oh, let us think of it! the Father hath sent the Spirit that we might fully share in the glory of
the glorified Christ! Shall we not give ourselves up to have Him in us, to let Him have all in
us, that we may fully know Him, through whom alone we can know the Son and the Father?
Let us even now yield ourselves to the full to the indwelling and teaching of the Blessed
Spirit whom the Son hath given us from the Father. Amen.
