WHISPERS TO AND FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

FAITH AGAINST FACT

You must not see things
as the world sees things
but as I see things
Common sense may
conclude it one way
based on fact but you
as my disciple must
look at worldly things
based on faith.
You must measure
your faith against the fact
then move ahead.
So many times looking
at things worldly may
seem impossible but
with faith, all things
are possible in my will.
You must always dare
to always view matters
in life with my eyes
and not man eyes.
Remember with me
and in me all things
are possible

Dr. Don’s Reflections

The Holy Spirit in this Whisper is counseling me not to look at things in the world just based on facts. This has been his counsel for much of my walk with Christ, however, I did not always listen to this counsel.  I can think back to so many things that I did or did not do because I based it on fact only.  I let my faith slip in favor of the facts even though the Holy Spirit was prompting me in a different direction then facts were taking me. At the time I did not realize it was the Holy Spirit with his promptings and counsel. I wrote it off as a voice in my mind instead of the voice of the Holy Spirit. Not realizing it was the lead of the Holy Spirit I went where the facts were taking me much to my dismay.

Now that I am more mature in my walk and I have lived the consequences of fact-based only decisions without the counsel of the Holy Spirit, I understand that every decision I make, even the small day to day decisions have to be done in the light of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is that light.

It took me a while to conclude that the Holy Spirit talks to me and in the correspondence comes, counsel, comfort, guidance, teachings, and even conviction of my wrongdoing.  Now I am in a conference with the Holy Spirit every day.  And when I say every day, I mean all day, every day.  Everything I look at I seek the counsel of the Holy  Spirit. It is like walking into my lawyer’s office and getting legal counsel.  The counsel I get from the Holy Spirit is spiritual counsel and his office is in and with my soul.

I had to realize that everything I say and do and the decisions I make have a spiritual side to it. I mean everything.  When I go to vote in elections, of course, I check out the candidates but  I also ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in my choice.  When I plan a vacation looking at the time and place it will happen I consult my travel agent but I also get counsel from the Holy Spirit.  I know this sounds crazy for some believers but I have been walking with Jesus for 42 years and I am much more of a spiritual being now than when I accepted the Holy Spirit in 1978.

It has been a long hard walk at least for me. Others may have had an easier time with there walk but not me.  I had to deal with the whole bag of Satan’s tricks, fear, doubt, pride, and more. But the Lord never gave up on me. He chose me and never has forsaken me. Now every day a piece of my worldly being and focus dies to the spiritual enlightenment given to me by the Holy Spirit.  I now realize more than ever I am a spiritual being with a body that gets shed at death. When my humanity ends my spirit lives on. That is what is meant by eternal life.

Dr. Don’s Comments

Where is the Holy Spirit in your life?  Do you set him aside as I did because the facts are taking you in another direction?  If you understand one thing about this Whisper please understand that you cannot be with him a little bit.  You can not get his counsel on this and not seek it on that.  If you have accepted the Holy Spirit you are a spiritual being that is in your body while you are on this earth.  However, the process of diminishing the body and heightening the Holy Spirit within must begin while you are on earth and completed as much as you can on earth. That is why you are here. To ready yourself for eternal life. Don’t blow a divine eternal life in paradise for human life on earth.

If you accepted and possess the Holy Spirit you must realize he exists to take over the body so that it becomes a sanctuary for him.  So your life on earth is amid a constant takeover by the Holy Spirit. One which will shed your body and leave your spirit shining at the gates of heaven.  But understand the battle begins here on earth. And I say battle because for me it was a battle even though I walked with Christ. I fought the Holy Spirit many times in his take over effort of my body.  Thank God he won!

The Holy Spirit will win with you also if you do not quit. Every time the Holy Spirit tries to take over, let’s say your pride and you fight him but he wins you are that much closer to being fully spiritual.  Your humanity and the world cause you to fight the Holy Spirit but through the grace of God, you surrender it over and over to him and move on to be your true spiritual self.

If you never received the Holy Spirit and you are living life without him you can receive him today just say this prayer or something like it in your own words.

“Dear Father, in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I ask you to stir up within me the fullness of your Holy Spirit. Help me to grow in my relationship with the Third Person of Your Holy Trinity and to live in his power and use his gifts.”

If you have received the Holy Spirit with the Baptism of water or the Baptism of Fire but you are basically ignoring his presence and counsel then say this prayer.

Lord Jesus, You promised, “The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26). Help me to remember that I don’t know everything and that this is okay because the Holy Spirit understands it all. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and His understanding of everything that is happening in my life. Please renew the Holy Spirit in my being.

Depending on where you are in your spiritual life all you have to do for victory in Jesus is invite the Holy Spirit in or ask to be renewed in the Holy Spirit either one is a life-saving request, an eternal life-saving request that is.
