Living an infused life


The Holy Spirit is given in us to influence us to become Christ-like in our Character, Nature, Personality and therefore also our behavior. This does not imply that we lose our individuality. God has created us to be unique. It means that our entire being becomes infused with Him and that whatever lives in us that we inherited from the carnal life of living in the flesh, as being separated from Him, is being dispelled until we become a sweet smelling savor unto the Father, as sons redeemed, re-created (remade and remodeled) by the Son.
How does this change happen?
It happens as we allow the Holy Spirit to influence every aspect of our being. To infuse us with Himself. That means that any part of us that is still subject to sin needs to willingly be yielded to Him so He may penetrate that area of our lives with His Life, and transform us in that area by our willing obedience to allow Him to do so, until we look just like Him in that area (and in every other area) of our lives.
When we (our thoughts, will, nature, personality and character - called our soul - or the essence of we are as created beings) yield to the Holy Spirit in our lives, He comes to influence us and becomes a Living part of all we are.
It is then when we find the Holy Spirit not only dwelling in our spirit, but being a part of all we are - spirit, soul and body - and when we find our lives bearing His Life (pleasant Fruit) for all to encounter through us!
God bless you as you begin yielding every area of your life to Him today!

They will speak God's Word faithfully, giving utterance to His heart, whether their audience may be agreeable or not. - Prophets are dead men speaking. They have laid their name, fame, reputation, self-will and ambition, the love of their own lives - and themselves, upon God's altar, long before they are called to stand on His behalf as messengers sent forth from His Throne. This makes them fearless as messengers before kings and men. - Because authentic prophets are sent in God's Authority, they fear neither men or devils, knowing that they move and operate in the realm of God's Person and unlimited Power. - Prophets are sent for the sole purpose of giving true expression to the will and t

HOW TO SPARK A FIRE!

How did the Great Awakening in the 1800's through Evan Roberts come about? Was it through great preaching? Through a show of strength in impressing others? Was it through signs, wonders and miracles? Did he wear fashionable outfits? Did he have the new moves that the so called "apostles, prophets and evangelists" so love to put on display today? Did he plaster his face on every available bill board and tried to show Himself to be a 'tiger' among the kittens? No, no, no ... Here's how it came ... on his way to a church prayer meeting, after 13 years of praying to have the fruit of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit whispered the following Words into His heart and it broke him ...  He said - "'bend', that is what you need to do!". Evan Roberts fell on his face in the snow before God and in bending he broke! He arrived late for the meeting and only a few people had remained, he called them into the church, shared God's heart with them a
