Exceedingly Growing Faith !

Exceedingly Growing Faith : If You Are Truly Born Again, Saved: The Holy Spirit dwells within your spirit, you ! "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world " (1 John 4:4). The Holy Spirit dwells within you--- not in your head, but in your spirit. God has to communicate with you through your spirit because that is where He is. Your spirit gets its information through Him. Learn to obey your spirit ! Some say that conscience is not a safe God, but that statement is not always true. The conscience is a safe God in the believer. Your conscience is the voice of your spirit; and the voice of your spirit can become the voice of God speaking to you. That's why in (Acts 24:16) it tells us, "and in this do exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards men." This same passage in the amplified Bible reads "Therefore I always exercise and discipline myself [modifying my body, deadening my carnal affections, bodily appetites, and worldly desires, endeavoring in all respects [to have a clear [unshaken, blameless] conscience, void of offense towards God and towards men." You have to have a clear conscience in order to serve God ! Or to please God. God uses our spirit to an enlightened and guide you. And as your spirit has the privilege of meditating and feeding upon the Word of God, it increasingly becomes a safe God. It is trained in the Word, it is part of the process of renewing the mind your soul, your emotions, your intellect, your will. The apostle Paul said that he always obeyed his conscience. Sometimes People Say, "Well, you are a minister, so the Holy Spirit would speak to you differently than He would to me." No, God is no respecter of person, he That deals with us in ministry and enabling us to minister a little differently, but in speaking to us as individuals about our own lives He deals with us just as He deals with all believers. He speaks to us with this inward voice--- the voice of our spirit speaking--- not with just the voice of the Holy Spirit. We miss it mind not always looking to the spiritual. Instead, many people tried to get God to come over into the sense, or physical, realm. They'll put out a fleece and tell God, "You do this if you want me to do that." Gideon put out a fleece, but remember he didn't have the spirit of God. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit only came "upon" certain ones to minister. Gideon was what we would call a lay member. He Did Not Have the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. God had to deal with him through the senses. And God might do that today, but if He has to come it is because we are spiritually dull ! Under the New Testament, Jesus said, "And I will pray The Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14:16) Gideon didn't know the Holy Spirit; you know Him if you are newborn. God deals with mankind through his human spirit, by the Holy Spirit. And Jesus said of Him, "when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. . ." (John 16:13).
