Understanding the ways of God requires a desire to know what the spiritual hides from the believer. God's intent is never to hide but to reveal. Hiding comes because of man's lack of seriousness to know God in depth. When the Lord sees a man who desires to know then his spiritual eyes are opened to see beyond the natural. Revelation of the supernatural comes because of a strong desire in man to know his God. Genuine desire is evidence to God that man has made His Kingdom first priority. All that shall follows are the results of first seeking! Awake and Pray!

The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to do for man what man cannot by himself. By nature man is sinful! In Jesus saving man does not keep him from sinning but rather saves him from eternal judgement. Man's consistency in keeping away from that which hinders God is the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God reveals much yet also has the divine power to keep us from sinning. The believer gives reign to the Spirit for this to happen. Intimacy with Him reveals our desire and builds on just that. Even if the Spirit is involved in desiring God, there is always a measure of man's initiative! The more we allow the Holy Spirit reign in our lives the more deeper we are submerged in spiritual matters of a Heavenly kind! Wise is the man that gives total control to the Spirit of God for his spiritual maintenance. Awake and Pray!

Our intimacy with God betters our intimacy with man. Better people are those who love their fellowmen. Better people are those who communicate well with others. If this is not so then where have we failed? Failure in peaceful dialogue with others is easy to see. It is spirit related! My lack of surrender to God reveals my unwillingness to forgive man and therefore walk in peace with him. My lack in dialogue with God leaves much room for the enemy to have his way. For in my communication with God, it is then revealed to me when my relationship with man is not in order. For most part it would seem fine to seperate myself from my fellowman but have I done so in peace. Waking in the Spirit is always peace related. It is always forgiving and love related. And so this is important in bringing man to God. In contrast we often judge and the result is that man strives further away from eternal life. For when he sees my outward manifestation of peace and love, he is convinced that he to can be a better person. It is then that he enquires how could this be so? And he soon finds that it is possible with our Lord and so begins his journey of salvation! Awake and Pray!

The more we communicate the more we get to know. Man's engagement with God must never be lacking! For in consistent engagement with God we come to know the unknown. Man is in need to have a glimpse of the unknown inorder for him to survive whilst here in earth. We are therefore given the Holy Spirit! The Spirit of God makes known to man the secrets of the kingdom and the destination of the believer. This encourages man never to give up. We strive in knowing or else there would great strife in heart because of ignorance. Better communication restores, better communication heals and for this we have the Holy Spirit. We are better communicators because of His indwelling Spirit. This is what makes the believer different!

The Holy Spirit must never be taken for granted. It is human nature to easily neglect the unseen. Our knowledge of God's workings is always initiated by faith. By faith the believer gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to know God. To often the world wants to know God by audio and sight but fail to understand it first takes faith to hear and see. Even the believer who is reborn can never be self reliant. In knowing God he is now led. Our ignorance for most part begins with our misunderstanding. We are glad to be believers, saved from eternal damnation yet we fail to pursue God knowing we cannot go on without Him. For many our salvation is the end of punishment and judgement and we therefore continue unashamedly with our earthly workings. The bible is clear that the believer ought to work out his salvation with fear and trembling. This is in no way possible without God here on earth. We therefore have His indwelling Spirit! Pray without ceasing!

The Holy Spirit is here to teach and guide us. The opposing spirit does just that - opposiing the work of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is God ordained whilst the work of the evil spirit is Satan ordained. It is the duty of the church to discern what is of God and that which is not. The choice is left to the believer. In him laying hold of the gift of choice he becomes accountable if he chooses to follow the path of the evil one. The decision is mans' and then God's. First man chooses to let the Holy Spirit have his way and when man chooses the correct way then it is the Holy Spirit who acts on that decision. Man is accountable because of his gift of choice. The believer must first be aware that of the two choices he has, one is of God and the other is not. The choice to allow the Holy Spirit to reign in your life comes by faith. For it is by faith the believer allows the Spirit of God to have His way. What is not seen, nor heard from Heaven's corridors becomes ours for the taking because of our faith. Therefore it shall be the decision to allow the Spirit of God to have His way in your life inorder to hear and see God manifest! Pray without ceasing!
