Influential ...

 

Hebrews 4:12 

12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

 

Influential

 

The spirit is not affected by outside influence.

It is fully engulfed in the spiritual realm.

It is independent of the soul and worldly pretenses.

It is ever overflowed with the power of God’s Son.

 

The sense of the soul and intuition of the spirit

are distinctively opposite in their destiny.

One travels to dust and the other to the eternal.

One represents death and the other what could be.

 

When both appear similar Christians get confused.

Consequently followed by many opinions.

Emotions then become a part of the spirit

in the direction of their passionate feelings for the Lord.

 

Emotional Christians, who at times were deeply searching,

tend to forget the despair that got them to this point.

They will become cold-hearted in matters of difference

in their love for justification for the ones, who are not their own.

 

The search is on for gifts from the Holy Spirit,

like hunting eggs for Easter for self and for joy.

Surely seeking earnestly to fill one’s own basket,

within one’s own strength, the things here to employ.

 

This is what it takes, to walk by the Spirit.

It is the foundation of our spiritual service.

Only Truth is understood by God’s revelation

and His Will is magnified by His Communication.
