I believe the importance of the Holy spirit and His role in our lives, as believers, needs to be more effectively emphasized to bring us to a clearer understanding of our SPIRIT TO SPIRIT personal relationship with God.

To me, this is one of the most striking verses I have ever read in the New Testament. Think about this for a minute.

One of the most important aspects of our Christian life is that we now have the very spirit of God living in us. Learning to become more and more aware or conscious of this inner union with God is what will bring us to achieve success in everything we do.

Let us now review, for a minute, exactly what Our New life is, and answer some pertinent questions that most of us have asked or should have asked, once we received this new life of God.

Let's look at what I believe to be one of the most profound verses of Paul's writings. If we can learn this one verse and adhere enough to it, to continually act on it, we will be well on our way to becoming a mature Christian In Christ, as God desires for each of us to be.

We don't have the ability to guide our life correctly, as God would have it, even though most of us at some time or another have thought so. How did that work out for you?

The Holy spirit, is the sole communicator of all that Truth actually is, and can only be found In Christ. There is no eternal truth outside of Christ and the spirit of God was imparted to us all to make sure that we can learn, understand and know the truth, as it is In Christ.

With all our education and knowledge we tend to forget that "His yoke is easy and His burden light". I believe the church has way over complicated the work of God, even to the point of blocking that which is beneficial to her.

All my Christian life I've heard, as I'm sure most of you have, that the "Battlefield Is In Your Mind".I don't know about you, but for me, this has been quite frustrating. This teaching simply stems from a misunderstanding of how we are made and how we function, in this physical world.

What is identification? What does it mean to us, as Christians? Although the scriptures are rife with this principle of identification, we, as the Church, know little about it, are taught even less about it and as such, have seen little effect of it in our individual lives and in the Body of Christ, as a whole.

The importance of Meditation and Confession in the Christian life, walk and spiritual growth cannot be overstated.

When I say Bible Study I mean relationship. Unlike any other book, the Bible is the Word of God to and for us, individually. When we read or study the Bible we should always think of it in terms of relationship.

The ultimate Goal of God for every believer is to be led by His spirit. This word "led" from the Greek means to be led, guided or directed, as an example: to be carried in a chariot or wagon.

I would now like to continue to expound on the "truth", what it is and where it comes from. I believe there are a lot of people who really don't know what truth is, in definition, and they tend to think that anything they think and/or believe is truth.

The most vital thing to realize, if one is to grow to become a Son of God, is that we have the life and nature of God working in us, twenty-four seven. There is nothing that can separate us from it and there is absolutely nothing that can take it away from us.

Not only did God give His precious Holy Spirit to be our companion, our teacher, our comforter and guide for all things Christ; but He has also seen to it that we had a "role model" for our new life In Christ.

We are either "in" or represented by one of these two men. All men are identified as coming from Adam, first and have been given the choice to be identified with or In Christ. Our identity is specifically drawn from one of these two men. They represent, in essence, every man in the world.

ONE God and Father of us all, ONE Lord, ONE Spirit, ONE Faith, ONE Baptism, ONE Hope, ONE Word, ONE Life, ONE Light, ONE Savior, ONE Goal, ONE Vision. I'm pretty sure that there really should only be ONE vision for the Church, the body of Christ, aren't you?
