The Holy Spirit will
work in us, with our spirit- this is truth! Our spirit truly is NOTHING without
the Holy Spirit to guide it. We need this OUTSIDE Holy influence in us. We
don't manufacture the Holy Spirit of our own accord. The Holy Spirit is GOD with
us, the Holy Spirit is our COMFORTER.
Act 5:3 But
Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy
Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act 5:4 Whiles
it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine
own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not
lied unto men, but unto God.
Lying to the Holy
Spirit is lying to a God. The Holy Spirit truly is a God. And the Holy Spirit
will live in us! We DO NOT become God, NOT EVER! But the Holy Spirit, God will
live in us!
Joh_14:26 But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
Joh_15:26 But
when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me
Joh_16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for
if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will
send him unto you.
'In stressing the
significance of the Holy Spirit we are at the same time emphasizing our own
spirit since the latter constitutes His base of operation. Our danger, upon
apprehending the work and function of man’s spirit, is to rely entirely on it,
forgetting that it is merely the servant of the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit and
not our spirit is the One upon Whom we wait for direct guidance into all truth.
If man’s spirit is divorced from the divine Spirit it becomes as useless as the
other parts of man. We should never reverse the order of man’s spirit and the
Holy Spirit. It is because many of the Lord’s people are ignorant of man’s
spirit and its operation that we have presented in these pages a detailed
account of it. This does not mean, however, that the position of the Holy
Spirit in a man is inferior to that of his own spirit. The purpose for
understanding this faculty of man is to help us to obey Him more and to exalt
Him more. This should exert great influence on our guidance. The Holy Spirit is
given primarily for the benefit of the whole body of Christ. He abides in each
individual because He dwells in the whole body of Christ and each is a member
of it. The work of the Spirit is corporate in nature (1 Cor. 12. 12-13).' The
Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee
1Co 12:12 For
as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one
body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
1Co 12:13 For
by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one
Spirit.
