1 | The work of God: hearing with faith? | Gal 3:5 | Ray | 144585 | ||
Hi ngkh, Thank you for your post, your Scriptures, and your thoughts. This is what I hear you saying to us. I am going to look at your lower case "spirit" with the understanding that you meant them to be lower case as your wrote them. You said that you believe in the works of the holy spirit. This you said in connection with being involved in different tasks or assignments while being "spiritually led". You said all of that without denying the existence of the Holy Spirit nor your feeling "the Spirit's guidance." In other words, I hear you expressing belief in the Holy Spirit and also the holy spirit. Even though you speak of sensing the Holy Spirit's instruction and the knowledge that He will always prevail, you recognize as well that you are being spiritually [sic] led. If I am reading your correctly, then I would say that we are pretty much in agreement. I appreciate your choice of John 7:38, but I recommend a version that capitalizes nouns and pronouns of Deity. John 7:38, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water." Would you agree that the "rivers of living water" is the holy spirit that flows from us as believers in Him? Would you agree that John 7:39 is talking about the [holy] spirit that was not yet given, that is, this living water? As believers we come to this Prophet--we come to Him and drink. And thereby we have words of life and living water; we have holy spirit. From the heart, Ray |

2 | The work of God: hearing with faith? | Gal 3:5 | ngkh | 144609 | ||
Funny but I was once told that in each and everyone of us already reside a spirit and only when we hear the Gospel, the Holy Spirit will knock on our door, " Would you like me to come in?" Then it will be our choice. If we say no, the Holy Spirit will back off until we decide to say yes and the fellowship begins. Does this make sense? |
