THE TESTIMONY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
25/10/2013 11:29THE TESTIMONY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit ... # Ro 8:16
When we approach God, we are sometimes tempted to haggle . We want the witness of the Spirit before obeying God. "Why God does not reveal he is not for me ? " We ask ourselves . He can not . It's not that he did not want , but it can not, because our refusal to surrender to him , he stands in the way . When we go to God without reserve , it bears witness to Himself. He can not make you witness to you, but it immediately went to witness his own nature he has put in you . If you witness before the reality, would dissipate into a sentimental emotion. As soon as you press the Redemption and you shut your vain reasoning , God manifests Himself to you and you discover with dismay that so far, it is you who empêchiez to do . If you doubt that God can deliver you from sin, then let it be , or tell him . Do not rely on the opinion of one or the other , but in # Mt 11:28 : "Come to me ! " Come, if you are tired and loaded, ask if you're bad , you change (# Lu 11:13 ) .
We sometimes confuse the simple evidence of common sense with the witness of the Holy Spirit. But the Spirit testifies to our spirit and work of redemption , it makes ever witness to our reason. If we want to compel , it is not surprising that we are in darkness and uncertainty. Throw it all overboard , trust in God, and He will give you the testimony of the Holy Spirit.
