The Spiritual Walk: walking in the Holy Spirit

The Spiritual Walk: walking in the Holy Spirit by ric gustafson


When we become a believer of Jesus Christ, the first thing that changes is that the Holy Spirit enters our heart. The joy of that is that he stays there forever. When the Holy Spirit enters our heart, we are sealed until the day of redemption. On that day, we enter God's direct presence. When we are sealed by the Holy Spirit, we enjoy the protection of Jesus.
In Ephesians 4:30, the Apostle Paul warns us not to grieve the Holy Spirit. He points out six ways that we can do that. Bitterness is our decision not to forgive others. Wrath is the desire to do revenge against someone. Anger is manifested in a desire for power and getting what we think we deserve. Clamor is rooted in feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. Evil speaking will keep a believer from thinking the thoughts of Jesus and witnessing his love. Malice is motivated by hatred and that is the opposite of love.
When we are kind and forgive each other, the Holy Spirit can fully work in us and that makes God very happy.
