Spirit guide me.

1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭57‬ ‭(NKJV)
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 73:23-24 (NIV)
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.

Bill Johnson:
“It’s kind of hard for us to have the same fruit as the early church if we have more honor for a book that they didn’t have then the Holy Spirit they did have.”

Direction, the Way

In Romans 8:4, Paul divides the world into just two groups: those who walk according to the flesh and those who walk according to the Spirit. That’s it. Either the flesh directs you or the Spirit does. You are walking according to one power or the other.

We were in the flesh; now we are in the Spirit. We were dead in trespasses; now we are alive with Christ (Ephesians 2:1–5). We were stonehearted; now we are softhearted (Ezekiel 36:26). We were enemies; now we are reconciled (Romans 5:10). In short, we were one kind of creature; now we are new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Spirit as “the Lord, the giver of life,” effects this change from the Father through the Son. (LINK to read more where this came from)

Everything changes when the Spirit transfers you from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13).

Paul speaks of a crucifixion that happens to the believer through his or her union with Jesus Christ: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20; see also Romans 6:6). But in Galatians 5:24, it is the believer who has taken action. Crucify the flesh describes a deliberate putting to death of the old sin nature. We worship in Spirit and Truth.

If the Spirit dwells in you, God is in you.
