Bible Note: Hi Reformer Joe, The remote control of a robot is a good word picture for how things are not for God in His relationship with His people. I know of no Scripture that talks of being controlled by the Holy Spirit. Thank you for that word picture. The transformation of our minds that you speak of from Romans 12:2 is something that is for "you" and me to do. The command to be filled with holy spirit shows that it is something that we have to do in contrast to, for instance, being filled with wine. Philippians 2:13, "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." can be put next to 1 Corinthians 12:11. "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills." All of us were given to drink into one Spirit. The question for me remains; just what are we given? What is this holy spirit? With what are we to be filled? I have to get some sleep, but can we talk about Galatians 3:22, Heb 10:15, or Eph 4:10?
