“Do you not know that you are God’s temple,
and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”
I am often asked why I spend so much of my time posting here relating to my experience with The Spirit of God, alive in our life asking us to let Him show us how best to live our life. My answer is brief, and simple. I live my life following the call of The Spirit of God. It's a process of self discovery that will continue until I draw my last breath.
Our Father is not up there, He lives within our life.
John 10: 30 ”The Father and I are one.”
John 14:8-11 “'Philip,' Jesus replied, 'after I have been with you all this time, you still do not know me?
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
Our Father is not a distant God concealed well away from us in some heavenly abode, but a loving Father who’s Spirit dwells within the hearts of those who love Him. You do not need to reach out to God to touch Him and embrace His Spirit – you need to reach within – within your own heart. God is waiting for you in the stillness of your heart, there He speaks to you, counsels you, guides you, and transforms your nature into the likeness of His own loving being.
“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” ~ Galatians 5:25
Our most meaningful interactions with The Father come from the heart, not the brain. They are spoken within the soul rather than upon the lips. Paul of Tarsus tells us that the Holy Spirit “helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself will intercede for us with sighs too deep for words” ~ Romans 8:26.
Let us pray every day that the Holy Spirit will grant us this gift, among other gifts that we might unite our hearts to the heart of God and live in His presence every moment of our lives. The Spirit will teach us to pray. He will teach us to find God in our daily lives. He will teach us to love God in and through all things leading us through the joys, and tribulations that confront every human person.
For God alone my soul waits in silence, from Him comes my salvation. ~ Psalm 62:1
