Martha said to Mary, The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him
Get up quickly and come to Jesus. He is here calling you.
Ephesians 1:13-14
In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.
When we heard the gospel of our salvation: that those who believe in Jesus will not perish but have eternal life and when we believed in Jesus, we got sealed by Holy Spirit-our pledge our helper will now on lead us towards our redemption as God's people. It is the holy spirit who helps us in this redemption and revelation as children of God. He transforms us and reveals us to our original state of perfect communion with lord in love.
Romans 8:18-25 reveals this clearly.
'we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.' (Romans 8:23-25)
Romans 8:29 reveals to us the great plan of our calling in Jesus name. All those who believe in Jesus,chosen by lord .
Romans 8:28-30:
"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified."
Those whom lord forknew- who are the ones lord knows?
The ones who love God and desires to do everything in will of God.
Strive to be people who are known by God..for this we must offer ourselves to know the heart of God and surrender to accomplish God's will.
Let us not end up in hearing that ''I do not know you" let us read Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
It is not doing many deeds for lord but doing the will of lord that counts to inheritance and this is how we avail ourselves to be known by Jesus..
So How can we know the will of the lord?
In 1 Corinthians 2: 9-12 we read
"But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him”—10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For what human being knows what is truly human except the human spirit that is within? So also no one comprehends what is truly God’s except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by God"
Again in wisdom 9:17-18 we read
Who has learned your counsel,
unless you have given wisdom
and sent your holy spirit from on high?
18 And thus the paths of those on earth were set right, and people were taught what pleases you, and were saved by wisdom.”
The Holy Spirit, reveals to us the will of God and opens the depth of God's wisdom for us. Giving us the mind of Christ.
God knows we are weak and that's why he has given us the Holy Spirit to help us live in Jesus.
Holy spirit intercedes for us according to will of God.
Romans 8:27 we read this,"the
Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes[a] with sighs too deep for words. And God,[b] who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
In every moment Allow to be born of water and spirit.
Crush the desires of the flesh by spirit.
Live as spiritual Man-new creation in Jesus.
Saying Amen to the word of God seals you with power from above-the holy spirit to be made flesh in you.
Mary's greetings fills us with holy spirit
Breath of Jesus fills us with holy spirit
He reminds he teaches,
John 16, John 7
John 7
Jesus was a man of spirit. He is always led by father's will and never his own. Always did what father revealed thus glorifying father. This is the life led by spirit. Only going where lord send.
So let us all who are thirsting for truth and life, let us go and drink and learn and fill from Jesus. Just like the Samaritan woman.
In John 7:37-39 Jesus says,
Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, 38 and let the one who believes in me drink. As[a] the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart[b] shall flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit,[c] because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Let us have the believers heart in Jesus to flow out living water.
Let us go and drink only from Jesus. By his words -the gospel of salvation to be filled in Holy spirit. His words are sprirt and life(John 6:63)
In John 14:15-21 we read this, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[b] to be with you forever. 17 This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.
Obeying his words gives us holy spirit..the life. Feed on Jesus words..keeps his words. Those who.listen world's voice cannot receive him.
Know him and abide in him as he abide in you.
God is spirit and those with Jesus spirit are children of God..and there is freedom..to live in spirit crushing flesh.
Galatians 5 :16-25
There is no law in spiritual life..but faith love, grace and eternal life
One who keeps lord's words loves him and lord will reveal to him his self.
John 14:23-27
Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me.
25 “I have said these things to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Advocate,[i] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
The holy spirit is the spirit of truth emerging from the father. Who witness Jesus.
The spirit of truth leads us to perfections of truth. He will not talk by his own but he talks to us as he hears and will let us know everything that is going to happen. He receives from Jesus and will proclaim it to us..
When the Advocate[a] comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf.-John 15:26
Let's see what John 16 says,
if I do not go away, the Advocate[a] will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about[b] sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; 11 about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned...
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Just like mother Mary,who in faith accepted the word from God and said yes to word and the word remained in her and thus she was loving God by bearing and growing the word in holy spirit power. When word is in us and we are sensitive to word,holy spirit our helper and advocate will be with us and the trinity abides in us.. helping us to reveal more about Jesus and to.deliver Jesus as he chose to reveal in right hour of God.
When the word of God remain in you,the trinity makes house in you..amen
1 Corinthians 8:11:let not our knowledge or freedom be way to destroy a weak in faith,for whom Jesus gave his life.
