Me: Ready to do laundry?
Prodigal: I am about as ready as welcoming tight shoes on a long hike.
Me: Sometimes we have to just do it anyway.
Prodigal: Well, lets talk of God so I can change my focus
This is from the book How To Be Filled with The Holy Spirit by A.W. Tozer
Who is the Spirit? The Spirit is God, existing in another mode of being than ourselves. He exists as a spirit and not as matter, for He is not matter, but He is God. He is a Person. It was so believed by the whole Church of Christ down through the years. It was sung by the hymnists back in the days of the first hymn writers. It is so taught in the Book, all through the Old Testament and the New.
The Holy Spirit is something that has confused others. Some only hear it mentioned but have never experienced this during their walk with the Lord. The Spirit convicts us, lets us know we did wrong. It can also guides us. Telling us that we should contact that person today. Let’s not confuse all emotions with the Holy Spirit. The best thing to do is to combine, prayer, reading your bible and being still. You will then learn to let the Holy Spirit guide you. First thing pray and ask God to guide you on this. Then don’t forget to be still so that you can listen.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth.
Psalm 104:14
