HOLY SPIRIT and ME PART 2 - LET THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD YOU TO YOUR DESTINY

To be led by the Holy Spirit means

• to FOLLOW

• the GUIDANCE and

• DIRECTION

• of the HOLY SPIRIT in one's life.

Being led by the Spirit involves

• OVERCOMING personal desires and

• ALIGNING ONE'S ACTIONS with GOD'S WILL.

ROMANS 8:1 TPT

So now the case is closed.

There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

ROMANS 8:2 TPT

For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

A conscience is the voice of your spiritman

ROMANS 8:3 TPT

For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish,

because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature.

Yet God sent us his Son in human form to identify with human weakness.

Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave his body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin.

ROMANS 8:4 TPT

So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the ANOINTED ONE LIVING HIS LIFE in us.

And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the DYNAMIC POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT!

ROMANS 8:5 TPT

Those who are MOTIVATED by the FLESH only PURSUE what benefits themselves.

But those who LIVE by the impulses of the HOLY SPIRIT are motivated to PURSUE spiritual realities.

ROMANS 8:5 NET

For those who LIVE according to the flesh have their OUTLOOK SHAPED by the things of the FLESH,

but those who live according to the Spirit have their OUTLOOK SHAPED by the things of the SPIRIT.

ROMANS 8:5 EASY

Some people do what their weak human THOUGHTS want them to do. They think about the things that will MAKE THEMSELVES HAPPY.

But people who LIVE with GOD'S SPIRIT as their guide THINK about WHAT will make GOD'S SPIRIT HAPPY.

ROMANS 8:6 TPT

For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the MIND-SET controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

ROMANS 8:7 TPT

In fact, the MIND-SET focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot!

ROMANS 8:8 TPT

For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.

ROMANS 8:9 TPT

But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit.

And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.

ROMANS 8:9 EASY

But you are not like that.

You no longer obey your weak human thoughts.

Instead, you OBEY God's Spirit as YOUR GUIDE.

That is true if God's Spirit is really living in you.

But if anyone does not have Christ's Spirit in them,

that person does not belong to Christ.

ROMANS 8:10 TPT

Now Christ lives his life in you!

And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God.

ROMANS 8:11 TPT

Yes, God raised Jesus to life!

And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!

ROMANS 8:12 EASY

So, my Christian friends, we must not obey what our weak HUMAN THOUGHTS tell us to do.

We no longer have to live like that.

ROMANS 8:13 EASY

If you agree to live in that way, you will die.

Instead, you should LET GOD'S SPIRIT help you with his power.

Then you can stop doing the wrong things that your bodies want to do.

As a result, you will have life with God.

ROMANS 8:14 EASY

All those people who live with God's Spirit as THEIR GUIDE are God's children.

ROMANS 8:14 TPT

The MATURE children of God are those who are MOVED by the IMPULSES of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Know this world thru the spirit

2 CORINTHIANS 5:5 TPT

And this is no empty hope, for GOD HIMSELF is the one who has prepared us for this WONDERFUL DESTINY.

And to confirm this promise, he has given us the HOLY SPIRIT, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:6-7 TPT

That’s why we’re ALWAYS full of courage.

Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master —

• for we LIVE by FAITH,

• NOT by what we SEE with our eyes.

Your nature is different.

Continuously happy

We live by faith, not by sight or appearance. Faith involve trusting in Him. Faith is trusting at ALL time.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 EASY

As we live here, we have to TRUST GOD.

We do not yet see the things that belong to heaven.

Are you seeing what God is doing?

2 CORINTHIANS 5:8 TPT

We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home with the Lord.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:9 TPT

So whether we live or die we make it our life’s passion (our driving ambition) to live our lives PLEASING to HIM.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:10 TPT

For one day we will all be openly revealed before CHRIST on HIS THRONE so that each of us will be DULY RECOMPENSED for our ACTIONS done in life, whether good or worthless.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:11 TPT

Since we are those who stand in holy awe of the Lord, we make it our passion to persuade others to turn to him.

We know that our lives are TRANSPARENT before THE GOD who KNOWS us FULLY, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14 TPT

For it is CHRIST’S LOVE that FUELS our PASSION and HOLDS us TIGHTLY,

• because we are convinced that HE HAS GIVEN HIS LIFE for all of us.

This means all died with him,

2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-15 MSG

Christ’s love has moved me to such extremes.

His love has the first and last word in everything we do.

Our FIRM DECISION is to work from this FOCUSED CENTER :

One man died for everyone.

That puts everyone in the same boat.

He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life,

a FAR BETTER LIFE than people ever lived on their own.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:16 TPT

So, from now on, we refuse to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances.

For that’s how we once viewed the Anointed One, but no longer do we see him with limited human insight.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 TPT

Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person.

All that is related to the old order has vanished.

Behold, everything is fresh and new.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:18 TPT

And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:19 TPT

In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 TPT

We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips.

So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to him.”

2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 TPT

For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD through our union with him.

Know what is Christ's desire.

Pursue spiritual reality means spiritual things are real
