Spirit Technology

We get our new life from the Spirit, so we should follow the Spirit.

Gal. 5:25

 

Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives.

Gal. 5:25, The Message

 

I have heard it said, ‘If you want drive out evil, you must let good come in.’  This recognizes a spiritual displacement.  In fluid technology, or even hydraulics we first find out that a vacuum is a very rare condition.  And we see that different liquids separate naturally.  The lighter density will always go to the top.  My dear wife loves her oil and vinegar dressing on her salad, but she has to shake it before she pours.

We have it in Paul’s counsel: “Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” If allow the Spirit leads us, we will be moved toward more and more of Christ; for He will kindle in our hearts more love for the Saviour, and we shall become more and more deeply interested in the things Jesus is doing.  The Spirit is not only the source of Christian life but also the only power to sustain Christian life.

The result will be that we shall care less and less for the world.  But we should say what the Bible says, ‘It’s all about Jesus, who is a Lord and King over all.’  Light will always drive out darkness.  And love pushes hate away.  And goodness will always sends hate packing.
