Rom 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
If it is true that you and I have been anointed of
the Holy Spirit, as we ought to be, our presence in this world ought to
register something positive for God.
It ought to be impossible for us to
come into this world, and go out of it, without having registered
something upon it.
People in this world ought to feel something when we
are near them.
The devil himself ought to take notice that, because we
are here under the Holy Spirit, Jesus is here.
It is impossible for
Jesus to be anywhere without something happening, and now Jesus is here
by the Holy Spirit in believers.
Therefore there ought to be nothing
neutral about any Christian....
The Holy Spirit is positive, and not negative, and if
the Holy Spirit is really Lord in our lives, our lives will count for
something.
There will be an influence from our lives which will be
eternal.
Thank God for the Holy Spirit! Let us be sure to ask the Lord
that the anointing shall have a free way in our lives.
The effect of the
Holy Spirit may be to condemn some people, and it may be to redeem
others, but He cannot be neutral, and if the anointing is upon you and
upon me, the devil will take account of it.
May the Lord help us to see
that that may not be a bad thing! Do you want the devil to say: "Oh,
that man, that woman, does not matter.
You need not bother about him, or
her!" I had a friend once who, whenever we were parting and going our
different ways, took hold of my hand and said: "Goodbye, old man. The
Lord make you a nuisance to the devil!"
Well, that is how it will be if
the Holy Spirit is really upon us, for that is how it was with the Lord
Jesus.
