Living Beyond Your Abilities-The Power of The Holy Spirit (Part 2)

You are too close to being empowered to allow your passion to get ahead of you. Forget the issues and get in line with the principles of God.

Deut 8:3;Galatians 5:22-25;Romans 12:1;Acts 1:8;John 14:12-14;2Timothy 3 15-17;1 Cor 12:7-11;Acts 4:33-37;5:1-11

Dear Friend,
Living beyond our abilities is the profession of every believer. This means that we live above the limitations this natural world presents. We are told several times in scriptures that we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Our five human senses are not supposed to govern us primarily .We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing , by the word of God, therefore to walk by faith means to walk in line with God’s word. In our previous discussion we talked about how important it is ,to allow your passions and life to line up with the principles of God. Now let's take a closer look at divine order, divine living, divine enablement and divine giving.

Divine Order is present in a believer whose life is strictly controlled by the word of God. In other words when the principle of God precedes everything including the believer’s passion. You have to fashion your marriage, children relationships, your attitude at home, work ,money matters according to what God’s word says only. When you put reading the horoscope ,consulting palm readers, and other occultism practices before the word of God ,you are out of order and the power of the Holy Spirit can not flow on your behalf.
Divine Living is when the Holy Spirit through our cooperation with the word of God ,births in us love,joy,peace,long suffering,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness,self control.Love will always find a way to do good to whoever may be in need, irrespective of what they had done. In short Divine Living is allowing the Holy spirit to live through you.

Divine Enablement is one of the key signals that points to the fact that the Holy Spirit is residing in you. For instance through the gift of the word of wisdom ,a believer is able to know what to do to bring about their desired future. The gifts of healing will enable you to effectively bring healing to you or the people around you. You are able to go about doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil because of the Holy Spirit in you. You become like Jesus on earth. No circumstances can ever limit you because greater is He that is in you than He that is in the natural realm. Your faith must be developed in all these areas so you can walk in the divine realms in life.

Divine Giving is when you are willing to sacrifice by giving according to what the Holy spirit is instructing you to give. Through the help of the Holy Spirit and His willingness to yield, Jesus was able to die for our sins.

A word of caution: None of these divine expressions will become evident in your life automatically ,except you diligently give yourself wholly to the principles of God .
