"You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."
Romans 8:9,11
Beloved, I wonder how much thought we give to the Holy Spirit being present with us and indwelling us? This glorious truth becomes more profound when we understand that the Spirit of God is with us as He was with Christ.
In other words, there are not two different Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit that was with Christ and then filled the disciples on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Spirit with you.
The Holy Spirit gives life to our mortal bodies, enabling us to live for Christ. He has come so that we may be comforted in this life. The Spirit of God empowers us, guides us, and keeps us.
May we ask the Lord to help us understand the full extent of this blessing. Truly, we have not been left comfortless.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
