Be Spirit concious

"And when they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them."

Acts 16:17(AMP)

In our opening scripture, we see that Paul and those with him wanted to go and do something good. They wanted to go and preach the gospel to those in Bithynia, but the Holy Spirit did not permit them. I wonder how many Christian missionaries and ministers have been restrained by the Holy Spirit, but because they were not Spirit conscious, their lives were lost in the line of duty.

You have to be Spirit - conscious and learn to always obey the promptings and nudges of the Spirit because not many of God's children are Spirit conscious today. The more you obey the promptings of the Spirit in your life, the more powerful His influence will be over you.

I want you to realize this if you are born again, that the Holy Spirit lives inside your spirit with all His wisdom. All the power of the Holy Spirit is in your spirit. The anointing is not a feeling, the anointing is a person. That means you are anointed if the Holy Spirit dwells in you because He is the person of the anointing . In Acts 10:38 the Bible says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."

The Bible says in John 1:16, "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace." In the same way that Jesus was completely filled with the Holy Spirit without measure, we also by His grace for grace have received of His fullness. Now we have access to the same quality of guidance and power that Jesus had when He walked on earth. Do not take it for granted.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you for by your grace I have received of the fullness of your Spirit and access to the quality of guidance and power that Jesus walked in when He walked on earth. I ask that the influence of the Holy Spirit will increase in my life even as I decrease in Jesus Name, Amen.
