Many people forget, or have not learned, that the Bible is not just a theological book, but a self-contained supernatural power referred to by God Himself as a “sword” for the spiritual realm. The inspired Word has the power to reach to the inmost parts of one’s personality and to judge the innermost thoughts.
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34).
If you won’t resist the Holy Spirit, the power of God will melt you down. The Holy Spirit will so take charge of you that you will be filled to the uttermost with the over-flowing of His grace! If you allow yourself to rise up in spirit today, you will edify yourself. For we must be edified before we can edify those around us.
The body without the spirit is dead (James 2:26). But the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6). The Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken are spirit and they are life (John 6:63).
Why God created the tangible universe and placed us in it is a mystery to us. But be sure of this: it – the world and every tangible thing – is passing away, while we will not.
