From Invitation To Relationship – Deeping Your Walk In The Spirit

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player.

INTRODUCTION:

The Father's plan is for He Himself to come and take up His abode in us. This is not a one-time experience, but it's the development of an ongoing relationship, as the Holy Spirit comes to us and leads us. It's important to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit by opening our hearts to Him and receiving what He is saying. This voice may come from the “God in the sky” but in this day, it is more likely to come from people who know Him and love Him.

SHOW NOTES:

• Christ is teaching us to function together as we come into oneness as the body of Christ.

• Before we come into a maturity in the Lord, we try things on our own to observe what's available in the world and eventually realize it is pretty dead.

• When a new person begins to search to find life and God's love, he will most likely find help from someone in Christ's body.

• Many people say they're being led by the Holy Spirit, but they may only be led by their minds, their imaginations, their own independence.

• As believers function together, they are being built up into the head—Christ.

• Remaining open and teachable is really important so we don't miss things that the Lord is trying to impart to us.

• Even if you don't get a witness the first time you hear a word, stay open for possible confirmation.

QUOTATIONS:

• The Lord in the flesh is knocking on our door; each one of us is Christ in the flesh.

• At times you don't know where you're at, and it helps to have someone walk you into it.

• As we love one another, the Christ in us begins to create these deep relationships of trust and love in one another.

• As we go into this deep oneness of the body of Christ, as we enter into it more and more, I believe we're going to be so open to the Christ in one another, that we will have our wills crossed, and we will be taken to places that we would not.

• Someone comes up with something that you can't handle, put it on the shelf for a little bit and let the Lord deal with you on it.

• I personally do not want to close off or reject something that I either don't understand or that doesn't resonate with me at that moment.
