Living Your Life in the Spirit of God
Wanted: Catholics who desire more in their spiritual journey – the time is NOW!!
God says, ‘At the right time I heard your prayers. On the day of salvation, I helped you. ‘I tell you that the “right time” is now and the “day of salvation” is now.
-- cf. 2 Corinthians 6:2
Receiving a new outpouring of the Holy Spirt does not signal a completion of a goal, rather it is seen as just the beginning which opens up all sorts of new possibilities, provided you respond with openness to the presence of the Spirit. It is a beginning of a new life in Christ – a regeneration of your spiritual self. But just as a seed needs good soil, moisture and light to grow, so also, we must nurture this new life which God has begun in us in order for it to grow and bear fruit.
We have entered an increasingly dark and dangerous season in the church and in world history. Without God’s grace it will be more challenging to be a true Christian. We can no longer afford to be distracted from God’s purposes for our lives and from tending the fire of the Spirit in our hearts, the fire of God’s presence. Will we enter by the narrow gate, which Jesus tells us many will attempt to do but will not be strong enough? Receiving more of the Holy Spirit and being directed by Him allows us the strength to enter. Nothing is impossible with God.
Only through the indwelling Spirit can we become “houses of God” on earth and experience true intimacy with the Lord and co-labor with Him. “Your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
-- cf. Matthew 6:10
“The Spirit and the bride say, Come, and let him who hears say, come. And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires let him take the waters of life freely.”
-- cf. Revelation 22:17
Our God is yearning for us to welcome His precious and the costly gift of the Holy Spirit.
-- cf. James 4:5
