Walk in the Spirit pt.2

This week’s blog will be a continuance of last week’s blog. We will further reflect about what it means to receive and walk in the spirit after we are saved. 

For as it is written in the 1^st chapter of Acts verse 5, “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now ”.

 

As believers it is vital for us to receive and be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Galatians 6:8 states, “For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

This is because it is the Spirit that gives us life as well as power to live for Christ and overcome this world (John 6:63). He also is the one who searches all things (including man’s heart) and knows the deep things of God, as explained in 1 Corinthians 2:10-12.

 

This is why Jesus (Yeshua) said, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. (John 16:7)”

 

In correlation He urged his disciples to wait for Pentecost (the outpouring) of His Spirit upon them before they went out to be fishers of men. In Acts 2:15-21 we see the explanation and necessity of this event taking place.

 

6 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,

That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;

Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

Your young men shall see visions,

Your old men shall dream dreams.

18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days;

And they shall prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in heaven above

And signs in the earth beneath:

Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

And the moon into blood,

Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

21 And it shall come to pass

That whoever calls on the name of the LORD

Shall be saved.’

 

Saints call upon the name of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha-Mashiach) and allow him to pour His Holy Spirit over you. Declare and Believe the words of Luke 11:9-10,13 “9 So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened… 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

 

Paul prayed continually for believers to receive the Holy Spirit throughout his epistles. I stand in agreement with Paul and I pray that you do the same too.

 

This Weeks Prayer: Ephesians 3:14-21

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen”
