Subject: Filled by the holy spirit? |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos, I wrote to Mike7 through you by mistake in the post above. Sorry. But if you don't mind I will continue to write to you about some of the things that we have spoken about before. You may remember that I did not see any "control" by the Holy Spirit. In Romans 8:14 we see that we are being "led" by the Spirit of God. And we have received a spirit of adoption as sons. We have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again. As I have said, I believe that we are filled with the holy spirit, lower case. Romans 8:9-11 speaks of the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of Him, and His Spirit; so I would say that God indwells us. Genesis 41:37, NKJ, "So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?" [a divine spirit, NASB] Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you." Best wishes. From the heart, Ray |
