How many of you really want a life in the Spirit?

In the last several months I have heard more Christians and non-Christians speak of the darkness of the world .

I want you to notice in God's Word what happened when there was darkness.

Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

We don't need to compete with the world. We need to agree with the Word and work with the Word. We need to live and act like we're the redeemed. We need to live and act like we're the delivered from sin and death.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

This is life in the Spirit. The life in the Spirit is a life of more than being a conqueror. It doesn't matter what the enemy's trying to establish in your mind, in your body, in your family, in your sphere of influence, in your home, in your neighborhood, in your church, in your nation, in the world.

When you know who you are, when you know what's already been done, you've got to have a shout. You have to have a praise.

Yes, we're in the natural world. But don't spend so much time on the natural. Spend greater time in the realm of the Spirit.

It's not a day of oppression. It's not a day to think anything other than the abundant life in the Spirit that makes us more than the conquerors.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

Is it by is it by our power and might? No. But how does His power get activated in us?

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.

When you move, God moves. Religion wants you to sit prim and proper and bring no attention to yourself. But God wants you to draw nigh to Him.

It's possible to be led of the Spirit and instantly to obey when you spend time praying in the Holy Ghost and time in the Word. Don't let fear paralyze you. Fear shows up in many different ways. Give no place to fear.

God says, Fear not.

Romans 8:14-17 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.

You have nothing to fear.

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

He doesn't do it for us. He helps us. Verse 31. He has a part and we have a part. He wants us to partner with Him.

Romans 8:31 If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

I encourage you to draw nigh to Him. The Holy Spirit, in Genesis, moved. He moved at the spoken Word of God. God's Word has been spoken here. Now it's up to you draw nigh to Him.
