Everyday His Home in Us

​Life is hard.  Can we do the hard stuff like forgiving those who never apologize or have peace when a health report is terminal? We can live free even when life is hard. The moment you receive Christ you are filled with the Holy Spirit and so you have the potential to live a life of victory over sin. This potential is released by faith as you surrender control of your life.  In 2 Timothy we read how the Holy Spirit makes His home in us!  When you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you, He becomes involved in every decision you make—both major and minor.  He leads you by peace and by wisdom, by what God says in the Bible.  He speaks to your heart. 

So, if you read in Ezekiel, you see God’s promise that the day would come when He would give people a new heart and put His Sprit within them.  Under the old covenant, the Holy Spirit only came upon people for special purposes, but He did not live inside them as He does with us who know Him…everyday.
