The Spirit of Prophecy


The Spirit of Prophecy


 

                Certainly I have lived a sinful life. It has been my desire to be a better person from the time of my childhood baptism but much of the instruction I understood through worldly perceptions and followed only perpetuated a life style I wish had not existed.

A bright light from heaven changed everything. Depending on your perception of what is meant by “A bright light from heaven”, whether it is spiritual rather than worldly, it could also be the key for you as it has proven to be for me. As the saying goes, ‘It is all in how you look at it.’

‘All scripture is God-breath and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so that the man of God maybe thoroughly equipped for every good work.’

As true as that is what good are they to us if our perception of the scripture’s meanings do not reveal to us what the Spirit is saying so as to clear our consciences from acts that lead to death so that we may serve the Living God? If we are wishing to be a new creation, to draw near to God, to have the confidence to enter the Most Holy Place, to be cleansed from a guilty conscience, to have our bodies washed with pure water, it is done by having a “blood transfusion”. Of course I’m not talking about a physical transfusion; even still a spiritual one is more real/tangible than a physical one.
Our blood is our life, such as it is. The same life will produce the same results. The blood of Jesus is the life of Jesus. If we have a transfusion we have a change, a change of life, as it were the blood/life of Jesus, thereby we are cleansed by his blood, that is to say his life in us flowing through our arteries from the heart. It is the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is the Spirit God sent, not just any spirit, it is the one and only Spirit God sent. Listen to it.  God is Spirit so any Spirit from him would be his offspring, the Son of God. The Spirit of the Son of God is the life blood, even the blood of Jesus that makes us what we wish to be, a new creature enlightened and instructed so as to encourage intellectual, moral, and spiritual improvement within ourselves. Your spirit is your testimony, if it is a testimony of Jesus it is the Spirit of prophecy.
