Last week I urged you to be endued with ‘power from on high’ as Jesus said in Luke 24:48. How? Ask Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Spirit so you can begin crushing the devil and destroying his works while helping and healing and delivering those who have suffered under him – including yourself!
This week I remind you that we are spiritual creations. We were created to walk in the spirit. Due to Adam error we couldn’t, but after we were born again, we could! Yet many born again people still walk after the flesh, making judgments based on what they see and hear, and understand, rather than listening to what their spirit is sensing.
I urge you – LISTEN to the Spirit. Act like the son of God that you are, for all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14. This is especially true in decision making, but also anytime, like sensing danger while walking or driving and stopping, reversing, or taking an alternate route although outwardly all seems well.
Dr Paul Ellis of Escape to Reality has made mention of 3 biblical examples of someone sensing the Holy Spirit. The first is Jesus. In John 13:21 it says, “When Jesus had said this, he became TROUBLED in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray me.” Jesus felt the sting of betrayal BEFORE He was betrayed. His spirit was troubled because He knew what was coming.
To be troubled or agitated in your spirit is to know something is wrong even when everything appears normal. Something doesn’t sit right inside you.
The second is Paul at Athens, in Acts 17:16. It reads, “Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being PROVOKED within him as he was observing the city full of idols. Every city at that time had idols and temples. But when he came to Athens, his spirit reacted – with anger. His heart was burning; he HAD to speak up, for people were being seriously led astray.
The third is again the apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 2:13, when Paul said “I had no rest for my spirit.” In context, he had traveled to Troas for the gospel and things looked good for preaching, but Titus was not there and he had no peace within. Paul even said the Lord opened the door for ministry there, but he also felt the need for Titus to be with him, perhaps for more fruitful ministry. So rather than stay he traveled on to Macedonia. For the spirit-filled believer, a loss of peace is a sure sign to consider the situation.
So, let us listen to the spirit, my friend, and act accordingly. Walking in life being led of the spirit means you have — COME ALIVE!
