What Spirit?

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

We know, according to 2 Timothy 1:7, that God has not given us a Spirit if fear. Alright then, what Spirit has God given us? Well, let's read: 
“God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.”
2 Timothy 1:7 GW

So, it is a Spirit of power, love and good judgement. What power has he given us? Well, the Bible says that Jesus lives in us and we are in Him. Which means we also have the power of Jesus, to heal, deliver and save others. The power in Christ is incomprehensible and is our weapon to defeat Satan. This power must be kept running; like petrol is needed for a car. Our 'petrol' is the Word and our oil is prayer. But it's not just reading the Word. It is understanding it by revelation, which you can only get through the Holy Spirit. Let Him guide your thoughts as you meditate on His Word today.

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
