And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your
sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
(Joel 2. 28).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The Spirit of Sonship
For all who are led by the Spirit of God
are sons and daughters of God.
For the Spirit you have now received
is not a spirit of slavery to put you
once more in bondage to fear, but you
have received the Spirit of adoption
( the Spirit producing sonship) in the
bliss of which we cry, Abba ( Father)!
Daddy!
INSPIRATION FOR MEDITATION
Meditate on the following:
1) Upon receiving Jesus Christ as
our Lord and Savior and baptism
in the name of the Father, of the Son
and the Holy Spirit you receive the
Holy Spirit.
2) God’s love is has been poured out in
our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has
been given us. ( Romans 5.5).
CHILDREN OF GOD
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are debtors-
not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die
but if by the Spirit you put to death the
deeds of the body, you will live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
these are the sons and daughters of God.
For you did not receive the Spirit of bondage
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of
adoption by whom we cry out, “Daddy, Father!”
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are the children of God.
And if children, then heirs- heirs of God, and
joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with
Him, that we may also be glorified together.
(Romans 8.12-17).
