Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you made it.
You know, still on our topic, "The God in the Fire," God's presence is a sign of His approval. Do you notice the word says, the Holy Ghost is our seal. Ephesians 1:13-14 reads,
"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."
Hallelujah! Our Comforter is our seal of approval - our seal of purchase, redemption - our guarantee of inheritance. Wow! No wonder Paul writes us in the letter to the Romans,
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God...The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God" [Romans 8:14,16]
We are called to be led. If you are not led you do not belong. We are called to be led by the Spirit and the Word [John 3:5]. There is no going around it. We are not called to a religion, nor a practice. We are called to a holy fellowship.
"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. (Hebrews 12:22-24, NKJV)
"Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:4-5, NKJV)
Let's pray.
The Saint.
