How often do many ask God to fill them with the Holy Spirit, but how many are really filled? Is it that God is not willing? God is very much willing to live in us because we are His temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). There are things that drive away the Holy Spirit. These are the things we need to purge ourselves off so that God can find our body habitable.
It is impossible for a man to walk with God without the Holy Spirit living in him. The terms New Covenant require God to live in our body through the Holy Spirit. When we repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour we become the temple of God.
There’s a way God deals with us, and it is on a daily basis. God is more interested in our today and tomorrow than in our past. We humans are so concerned about the past and our future to the point that some of us forget about making the best use of today. If we understand this principle of God dealing with us on a daily basis we will do better in life.
The time we live in is characterized by different doctrinal deceptions. Many are busy serving God but they are not worshipping in Spirit and in truth. It is only those who worship according to God’s standard that will be accepted. There is need for us to constantly examine ourselves so that we will not be led astray.
The Bible constantly warns us against falling from the faith. We constantly need to examine ourselves to see if we are still in the faith. Many are falling into different errors of heretical doctrines, thinking that they have found “new truths” but are lost.
