“You, therefore, have no excuse”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Judges 6:34
\nThen the Spirit of the Lord came on Gideon,<\/strong> and he blew a trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him.<\/p>\n

Numbers 11:25
\nThen the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.<\/strong> And as soon as the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied. But they did not continue doing it<\/p>\n

Haggai 1:14
\nAnd the Lord stirred up the spirit<\/strong> of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people<\/p>\n

Acts 1:6
\nThen they gathered around him and asked him, \u201cLord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?\u201d
\nHe said to them:\u201cIt is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you<\/strong>; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acts 2:15
\nThese people are not drunk, as you suppose. It\u2019s only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
\n\u201c\u2018In the last days, God says,
\nI will pour out my Spirit on all people<\/strong>.
\nYour sons and daughters will prophesy,
\nyour young men will see visions,
\nyour old men will dream dreams.
\nEven on my servants, both men and women,
\nI will pour out my Spirit in those days,
\nand they will prophesy.
\nI will show wonders in the heavens above
\nand signs on the earth below<\/p>\n

I doubt we can imagine what it was like to only have moments of having the Holy Spirit dwell within us. \u00a0In the gospel of John, Jesus told the disciples that He had to go away and that He would then send the Holy Spirit to fill not only them but all who believe. \u00a0This indwelling was recorded in Acts. \u00a0This indwelling is permanent and is givin so that we have constant leading, joy, love, peace, understanding, wisdom, strength, patience….. However it is possible to grieve the Holy Spirit and hinder any outward manifestation in our lives. \u00a0This is what I think happens (more from personal experience than observation of others), 1. being complacent to staying in God’s word, 2. which in turn leads to turning our mind and ears away from what God would have us do and how to live, 3. which in turn leads us to accept what the culture deems appropriate, 4. which leads to leading our families with a severe dilution of what christian lives should be, 5. which leads to a generation further away from God. \u00a0Nothing good comes from being complacent to God’s word. \u00a0Do you want to experience a spirit filled life – stay in His word, learn to hear His voice, obey God’s leading, be a humble servant with a deep desire and purpose to honor and glorify God above all else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
