The Importance of The Indwelling Spirit!
I was going over some notes in my diary of Feb. 2000, the other day, and found to my surprise that my insight is even stronger now than then.
Ephesians 5:32 tells us,"This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church."
The Mystery of The Gospel was laid from the foundation of the world. A fail safe as it were. If man fails here is what we will do to redeem him.
In the Old Testament the mystery was the coming of Messiah through the Jewish nation of Israel. The sacrificial lamb that was to give His blood in atonement for man's sins. In The New Testament was the Cross of Christ that did away with the flesh and it's lust and the evil that prevailed, that infected him. But more important than that was The Resurrection to a new man and new life in Christ. Old things and traditions pass away and behold the new man. The remission of sin!
So we can see from this that the importance for The Holy Spirit to fill us to overflowing. We are the guardians as it were and the stewards of that mystery. The Cross of Christ in our lives, working everyday. Matthew 13: 10-17 tells us in the words of Christ, the mysteries are given to the sons and daughters of Grace. We must search out His Word everyday and night so He can speak to us for the work at hand.
Many do not read or study His word because it is Him speaking to us. But we do not want to be told what to do, therefore we neglect His Word, but we talk incessantly, not giving a thought to His Words and what He wants. John 5: 39-42 tells us in Christ's own words,"Search the scriptures; you think u have eternal life, and yet ye will not come to me. You will not read and study His words, even tho it has been so easy to do so. For His words tells you what to do and what not to do. John 6 is more infatic, telling us without His words we will not live, but die. So simple a child can understand and live.
And here are other chilling scriptures that should cause us all to here Him : John 3:18-21 "he that believes me is not condemned, but he who does not believe in the only begotten Son of God will be condemned. Verse 19, And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT because their deeds are evil. VERSE 20 Is all telling and no way out. Simply put: People who do not love the LIGHT of His word are evil. They do not want their evil deeds to be found out , they do not want His LIGHT to cleanse them. They would rather stay where they are , IN THE DARK! Now if that isn't insane, I do not know what would be!
We are to be Watchmen for the souls of men. We are called to do it no matter what. If not ,the knowledge given to us will be taken away!!!!!! Revelation 2-3! We are not to pervert His Word nor sell it. We MUST handle IT with loveing care. We are to GROW UP and awake from our sleep! WE ARE TO DIE! PLANT THE CROSS so deep in you no one can remove it except The GREAT PHYSICIAN!
