DOES THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVE IN YOU?

DOES THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVE IN YOU? We have earthly bodies But if we make our bodies A HOME for GOD'S SPIRIT God's spirit lives in us And we can overcome our sin Through the SPIRIT OF GOD “If the Spirit Is the ONE Who raised Jesus From the dead Dwells in you The one Who RAISED Christ From the dead Will GIVE LIFE To your mortal bodies also Through the Spirit That dwells in you” Romans 8:11 The Spirit Is nothing other Than GOD'S LIFE Living in you Overcoming sin And taking you on To bigger and better things Paul's words On the flesh And on the Spirit Are comforting to me If the SPIRIT OF GOD Is living=is hanging out With me My mortal body Is BLESSED It becomes A HOME for GOD'S SPIRIT A sanctuary or shrine If you will “You God Are awesome in your sanctuary The God of Israel Gives power and strength To his people PRAISE BE TO GOD!” Psalm 68:35 “Praise the Lord Praise God in his sanctuary Praise him in his mighty heavens” Psalm 150:1 Does the SPIRIT OF GOD LIVE IN YOU? If it does Or if you want it to Make your body Into a sanctuary Into a SHRINE for God INCORPORATE the qualities Of the Spirit of God Into your life And Galatians 5:22 Tells us exactly What the qualities of the Spirit of God are: “But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: Is love-joy-peace-forbearance- Kindness-goodness-faithfulness- Gentleness-and self-control Against such things There is no law” Galatians 5:22-23 MAKE your body into this What chance does sin have In living in a body Incorporated with these qualities? Turn your body Over to the SPIRIT of the Lord If you are Living in these qualities Your flesh will become A SPIRIT=FOR GOD A temple for God Dear Lord=we PRAY Help us to transform Our flesh into Spirit= YOUR INDWELLING PRESENCE So we can truly say: Yes dear Lord THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN US Robert P.
