The more you stay in conflict with the Holy Ghost, the greater the
chances of the devil to succeed against you. The presence of the Holy Ghost and
His ministry in our lives as believers is our advantage. We have an advantage
in the Holy Ghost. He knows all, while all that a man knows is just now. Time
has three periods: past, present, future and your body can only live in the
present. Your soul can live both in the past and present, that’s why you have a
memory but only your spirit can live in the past, present, and future. As
brilliant as a man may be, no matter his qualification, he doesn't know the
next minute. You don't know what's going to happen.
If you have the Holy Spirit and your born-again spirit working together,
you are going to have an advantage, an unfair advantage, on others. This is
because if I know what's going to happen tomorrow, I can take a decision now
that doesn't look reasonable to other people but will position me somewhere
wonderful as far as the future is concerned.
Jesus said in John 16:7, “It is to your advantage that I go away...” and
if we're going to experience the Holy Ghost the way God wants us to experience
Him, we must do something that looks sacrilegious to our mind but it's not in
the spirit sense. You must place importance on the presence of the Holy Ghost
in your life. What Jesus came to do is different from what the Holy Ghost has
come to do. What Jesus came to do brought us into salvation and we're now
children of God, but it is what the Holy Ghost has come to do that will bring
the salvation into manifestation. It is possible for you to be saved and
there's no difference in your experience from somebody that is not saved
because you're not developing a scriptural relationship with the Holy Ghost.
PRAYER: Holy
Spirit, I open up my life to intelligently take advantage of Your ministry to
my advantage in life.
