The bible says to "guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you-guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us." We are no longer controlled by our sinful nature but by the Spirit of God that dwells within us. As it says in Romans, chapter 8, verse 9 ... "and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ." Upon the receiving of the Lord in to our hearts, the Holy Spirit dwells within us. I like to think of it as our barometer, temperature gauge. It helps guide us and navigate us through this life on earth. I rely heavily on this and you know when you get that sick deep dark sinking feeling in your belly....that something is not of God. And you will also feel the "light as a feather" feeling, almost euphoria, when the goodness is present. Rely on the Spirit of God in your life. The bible speaks often about this gift from God, the Father and God, the Son. Jesus promised He would send the Holy Spirit to the apostles to help them spread the gospel of the Lord. The same applies today. So walk one with the Lord for the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world. Have a blessed Wednesday!
2 Timothy 1:14
