I keep getting hit by the truth of God’s Word regarding the topic of spirit-living.  God is making it abundantly clear to me that man’s mind is a great gift and tool.  From it we get the control of our entire body’s impulse control whether its our heart’s regular beating, our liver and lungs working, etc.  It is also the place where we sort through thoughts that come to us and so much more!  However, in our mind we continuously make our decisions based on our own selfish motivation.  Yes, we (I) try to see and weigh all the variables involved, but I still have my own bias when it comes to making the decisions–we can’t help it–we are human and deal with human limitations.

God has given to each of us who have invited His Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior, His Holy Spirit living within us.  The more we allow The Holy Spirit to become our motivating spirit within, the more we become Christ-like.  God makes it very clear in Romans 9:1 that The Holy Spirit bears witness in me of what God wants done.  I have always lived my life making decisions asking God to bless them.  I was thinking The Holy Spirit uses my mind, not trusting my own spirit.  I thought my spirit was simply another word for my emotions which I didn’t trust at all.  I’m not well grounded on all I’m trying to write here, but I am firm that I’ve got to get much better connected to my spirit awakening to The Holy Spirit within me.  My mind certainly recognizes the nudges of The Holy Spirit.  This is becoming more clear.  Learning to respond immediately to these instead of taking them as a suggestion is the adjustment I want to make.

We are going to live for eternity in spirit.  I know God is wanting me to better know Him by better awakening to spirit-living now.  I really want to do this too.
