The Power of Overcoming "The Power Of The HolySpirit"

We are are going to talk about one of the most important people to know in order to overcome. The precious Holyspirit. He is the mighty third person of the Godhead. Hes the very power of God and he was there in the beginning hovering over the face of the deep. Jesus said that he would be the comforter that he would send that would lead us into all truth and bring back all his words to our rememberence. Its very important that we have intimacy with him. In the book of Genesis we find a profound phrase Adam KNEW EVE(Gen 4:1) The word knew here comes from the greek word GINOSKO. It is the greek word from where we get the english word intercoarse. Its deep deep intimacy. Now lets not forget that hes the mighty power pieace of the Godhead. Because of that the enemy wants to interupt that intimacy. We were created to have it. However the enemy is the master of conterfeit. Relationships can be one at times. God gives us all things richly to enjoy and the institution of marriage is one of them. However it was meant to be a suppliment not a subsitute. There is a line that got popular in the movie Jerry Macguire You complete me" There has never been a more untrue statement uttered! We are already complete in HIM who is the head of all principalities and powers(Col 2:10) Now we can see the urgency in the words of Jesus saying IT IS EXPIDIENT(neccessary) that I GO AWAY(John 16:7) The disciples at that time did not understand that. Jesus was the best thing that ever happened to them and they could'nt percieve or concieve life without him. Jesus told them where Iam going you cannot go. Jesus knew that the intimacy by the sending of the HolyGhost was going to be better and more deep than anything that they had ever expierenced. Now in closing this blog lets begin talking about the Omnipresence of God and the Abiding presence of God. The Lord said in and through the mouth of David Where I can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to the higest depth or make my bed in Hell your there(Psalm 139) This is talking about the fact that Gods everywhere. Hes in the forest, and at the supermarket. We have all heard people say that they are like the closest to god while hunting or fishing. Why? Its because they do sense him because Hes everywhere all at one time. However theres also is his ABIDING presence. This is his presence indwelling on the inside of us. In the book of John Jesus said that comforter that He would send in his namke would abide in us forever(John 14:16) The Lord said through the mouth of Paul that we are the temple and tabernacle of God! I like especially in the book of second Corinthians I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK IN THEM and I WILL be their God and they shall be my people(2 Cor 6:16) When we enter into a place we are litterally taking his presence with us because its in us.EVERY born again believer has his abiding presence on the inside. Nonethingelse will fulfill or satisfy. Jesus said that a mans life does not consist in the abundance of things they posses(Luke 12:15) Notice he did'nt say not to posses its just that are lives dont consist of it. In other words stuff without the presence of God is stale. This is the reasons that many with millions become suicidal. The bible declares that God hath set eternity in our hearts(Ecc 3:11) This means that there is a God shape hole on the inside of us that only he can fill. Attempting to fill it with anythingelse is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. The creation can never have satisfaction apart from its creator. We get this abiding presence when we recieve Jesus as lord. Jesus said WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN(John 3:3) This happens when we believe in our hearts and with mouths confess Jesus as savior and Lord. Jesus talks about it in the book of Revelations. Behold I stand at the door and knock(Rev 3:20) This is he through the spirit prompting and propeling you to himself so that this presence can be on the inside! How can it cause us to overcome? Lets see what God says in and through the mouth of John We are of God little children and HAVE OVERCOME THEM, because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN US than he that is in the world(1 John 4:4) This overcoming power is on the inside when its abiding within us. Its through that power that we run through a troop and leap over a wall, its in that power that we press through the crowds of attempted opposition. In the next blog we'll talk about the imershing presence. Its achievede by recieving tthe mighty subsequent expierence to salvation called the baptisim of the HolyGhost!!! We;ll talk about why its important and how to recieve it.
