New Apostles Voice

Your Spirit Is Alive. We thankfully read that our spirit, has been made alive. It has been recreated by the Holy Spirit, in the likeness of God. We are informed about this from Romans chapter 8 verses 10 and 11. Sin still has access to your flesh – your soul, your mind your will and your emotions, as well as your body. However, your spirit or your inner person, the real you, is no longer bound by sin. Our spirit is truly alive because of His righteousness, living in us. The Holy Spirit has raised our spirit from the dead, when our spirit was raised, together, with the Lord. Our mortal being could now know life in resurrection power because of God's Spirit who now lives, in us.

Honouring God. -Psalm 19 verse 9 informs us that those who love the Lord will fear Him, forever. What does this really mean? It means that because we are willing to listen to the Holy Spirit and obey God's instructions, we will exhort and worship the Lord without ending and forever. We will also live in His holy presence, forever. Christians must be thankful to Him for His goodness and we know it will last throughout eternity. Why? It is because the Lord's plans and purposes have now become the centre point and goal of our own lives. No more will we just do our own thing, nor will we worship or follow the pagan ways of our own flesh, the foolish world around us and the deceitful plots of the devil.

Creation of Mankind. People learn about the greatest miracle, performed by God, when reading Genesis chapter 1 verse 27, from the very first chapter of God's word, the Holy Bible. In order to have a family, like Himself, God created man in His own image or likeness. Both male and female were created in His likeness. Man was created first of the dust of the earth and God called the first man, Adam. Later woman was created from one of his ribs and she was called Eve and she was the first mother of every human being. Eve was also created so that man could have an earthly companion. We read that she became the mother of Cain and Abel, the first babies.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit. We read and learn of God's wonderful promise of the empowerment by the Holy Spirit, in our life, from both Luke chapter 24 verse 49 and John chapter 14 verse 26. The apostles of Jesus were to remain in Jerusalem until they were fully equipped with the Holy Spirit's power from heaven. Their Helper, the Holy Spirit, would be their Comforter, Counsellor, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener and Standby. The Father would send the Holy Spirit, as Christ's representative and He would act on the Lord's behalf. He would teach every Christian everything they needed to know as long as they were willing to allow Him to do so. He would also bring everything to their remembrance.

Leave the Flesh Behind! Perhaps, indeed very much so, we must leave behind, in our Christian walk, the passions, lusts, violence and depravity of our own wilful flesh. We must learn to
become sanctified servants of the Lord! Romans chapter 8 verse 11 informs us that the born again Christian must be a spiritual person. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, dwells in you who are His children. As we have been raised and given new life, by the Holy Spirit recreating our spirit in the likeness of God, we are enabled to live, as spiritual persons, on earth and throughout eternity. Our life has been recreated to live, in Christ, as spiritual beings.
