THE GOVERNMENT OF THE HOLY GHOST

 “…To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue” 2 Pt.1:2-3 

It is only in Christ we are complete. The call of God is a call to glory and virtue in Christ Jesus, and not to shame and reproach. All that pertains to life and godliness is assessed through the knowledge of Him.
"So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you”. Ex. 23:25

Serve the Lord - this is our assignment. The rest is up to God.  Often, the things He (God) has promised to do are the things we are struggling to do ourselves. The truth is, it's in the reverse order, we are meant to serve the Lord our God and He will bless us, He will take sickness and diseases away from us. We are in terrible and hard times. If we are going to be saved, secured and provided for, we have to serve the Lord our God. When you are at the service of someone, he/she has your attention; you are at the beck and call of that person. To serve the Lord means total surrender to God.

This is what we need to do! To escape the evil of these times; we have to serve the Lord. Worry and fear will not solve this matter. If you are worried or afraid, it is the choice you made but it is God’s responsibility to come to our aid if only we will obey and serve Him. Job 36: 11-12.
Life is a choice and you have the liberty to make a choice as to what you will believe. These choices come to bear in our everyday decision making. We should stop giving satan the attention and position he doesn’t deserve. Every time Jesus is not being magnified, error has crept in, the source is satan. Jesus alone should be magnified, not any man. 
There is the Book of Life and a Book of Remembrance. When you have this understanding, you would not just do what you like. The book of remembrance is for those who fear the Lord; and meditate upon His name. Malachi 3:16

There is a terrible shaking taking place, but those that serve the Lord God, will not be shaken off in the midst of the shaking. We must be sons, sons who serve their Father. God promises to save His sons who serve Him. This is the responsibility of God-this is what He will do for those who serve Him- Mal. 3:16, Heb. 12:28-29.
 As long as you align with God, you will not be shaken off. “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance is of the LORD”-Prov. 21:31 NKJV.

Life is spiritual and everything we see in the physical has spiritual origins. What makes us inexcusable is that God has equipped, empowered and enabled us. Outside Christ, men cannot follow God wholly but in Christ we can. By grace, we can. Heb 12:28. Everything has a spiritual connotation-faith has a spirit, grace has a spirit and fear also has a spirit. God needs faith to work, satan needs fear to work. You must connect to the spirit of what you want to experience.  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”. 2 Tim. 1:7. The spirit of faith speaks. 2nd Corinthians 4:13.
Whatever spirit you yield to is the spirit that will be at work in your life. We cannot serve God in our own strength, it is by His grace and grace is a spirit. The fact that you are panicky and are afraid is a sign that you do not trust God. It is those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits but those who are fearful will be weak and exploited.

The sons of God operate like God, they assess the mind of God and bring it to bear on the earth, and they also function on the earth like God. Everything that God will do or has done will be by His Spirit. As children of God, we are to be led by the Spirit of God. Romans 8:1-2,11,14,18. Sadly, this is not the case with many of God’s children! To be led by the Spirit means to come under the government of the Holy Spirit; it brings you to the place of sonship. In other words, to function as a son, you have to come under the leadership of the Holy Spirit; you have to come into oneness with God.

The greatest tool satan is using against us in our day is our feelings and experiences. A man that is under the government of the Holy Ghost is not led by his feelings. Anytime your feelings and experiences make you act contrary to God’s word and dictates, what you are doing by that action is saying that experience is greater and bigger than God. Find out God’s will and not what you like. The glory will come when men and women make up their minds to come under the government of the Holy Spirit

The creations are earnestly waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. The sons of God are those who are led by the Spirit of God. This is what we need in these times; this is the solution we need.
The day you gave your life to Christ, you died with Him. Thus, it is no longer what you like, but what He wants you to do and what He likes. Gal. 2:20.

In these times of spiritual and physical attacks, life in the Spirit is our only guarantee and life in the Spirit is a life of faith, a life of hope and a life of love. Every other way will lead to disaster; the only way is through Jesus and He is the only Way. Where the Spirit of the Lord is given liberty, there is liberty. This liberty is simply to do what God wants and to live the way He wants us to live. The Lord is our Shepherd; He will lead us the way He wants.-2 Cor. 3:17, Psalm 23:1-6.

The most important person we need right now is the Holy Ghost. We do not have a life of our own.
