Acts of the Holy Spirit, pt. 7 - All These Things

Matthew 6:33 says that when we diligently seek God, His Spirit will be with us and take care of our physical needs. This is what we as believers need to live everyday, seeking the Kingdom first and foremost, and allowing the Spirit to act, to perform miracles in our lives to show that Jesus, though ascended, is very much still active in our world today. The early Church depended on each other and on the Spirit in our Acts passage - we need to model that in the Church today.The Holy Spirit connects us to the attributes and abilities of a living God while working on our behalf to complete the total work of salvation in us through the process of sanctification.The value of pursuing the Spirit comes in finding contentment in the ever-changing circumstances of our lives which might otherwise cause debilitating anxiety. Rather than spending time worrying about these things, we should first turn our attention to seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Growth comes from devotion and community.It is easier to do these things, and we find more success in having these things make an impact in our lives, while in fellowship with other believers.Being in the body has an impact that has an impact.
