By the grace of God
may we learn and never stop learning, may we ever be growing in His grace and
His knowledge.
2Pe_3:18 But
grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To
him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
We can't stop
learning. We can't stop seeking. We war with ourselves and the awfulness that
we are in the light of the Savior. Place
us in the light of His righteousness and we are nothing but the darkest,
dirtiest, filthiest of beings and we will never be anything else of our own
accord. Only when our Savior places the blood of His sacrifice over us can we
be cleansed. We are NEVER cleansed by any cleaning we may try to do on our own.
We must seek Him, believe in Him, choose Him. He wants us to learn of Him, to
learn of His word, to walk in the light He has given us. As soon as we accept Him as our Savior we
know that He will see us through to the end when we are finally with Him,
totally and completely His. Our Savior seeing us through is teaching us through
the Holy Spirit to live as He would have us live each and every single
day. May we learn.
All in His love!
'The Laws of the
Spirit
A Child Of God must learn to recognize the
sense of consciousness of his inner being as the first condition for a life
walked after the spirit.
If he does not
discern what is the sense of the spirit and additionally the sense of the soul,
he invariably shall fail to do what the spirit requires of him. For instance,
when we feel hungry we know we should eat; when we feel cold we know we should
be clothed. Our senses express needs and requirements. We must therefore know
what our physical senses mean before we can know how to satisfy them with
material supplies. In the spiritual realm, too, one must come to understand the
meanings of his spirit’s various senses as well as their respective supply.
Only after an individual comprehends his spirit with its movements can he walk
by the spirit. There are a few laws of the spirit with which every Christian
ought to be acquainted. If he does not understand these laws or fails to see
the significance of recognizing the sensations of the spirit, he will miss many
of its movements. His failure to discern its senses undermines the proper place
of the spirit in his daily walk. Hence once we have known the various functions
of the inner man, such as intuition, communion and conscience, we need to
identify their movements which can then enable us to walk by the spirit. Being
filled with the Holy Spirit, our spirit will be operating actively. But we
shall incur loss if we disregard these operations. It is thus imperative that
we observe the way the spirit habitually moves. A Christian should know more
about the operation of his spirit than about the activity of his mind. ' Excerpt from The Spiritual Man- by Watchman
