Bible Note: Dear Ray, I appreciate the things that you are saying but I respectfully disagree. The only Scripture I can find that speaks of the Spirit of God given without measure is concerning Christ Himself. It is not the "spirit" of God in that sense. The Scripture which speaks of anyone receiving the Spirit without measure:That is located in John 3:34 and the verses surrounding it. I don't believe we receive the Holy Spirit without measure. I believe the Lord meets us where we are and fills us and that as we mature in our walk with Him our capacity enlarges and we can be filled more and more. I also do not believe any of us reach perfection this side of heaven. If there is another Scripture which speaks of the "spirit" without measure can you point it out to me? And then I can consider it. Sincerely, Itiswritten |
