[Romans 8:11 KJV] “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you”.
If the Spirit of He that raise Christ from the dead dwells in you, then He that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you. One of the greatest benefits of having the Holy Spirit dwelling in you is the fact that He is the agent by which God quickens our mortal bodies. God is able to do more by His power that is at work in us.
[Ephesians 3:20 KJV] “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”
Simple steps to receive the indwelling of the Holy Ghost is by;
1. Soaking in the word by listening to podcast:
[Acts 10:44 KJV] “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.”
2. Laying on of hands:
[Acts 19:6 KJV] “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”
3. Spending time in prayer:
[Acts 4:31 KJV] “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.”
You must strive to stir up the gift of God in you through prayer and fellowship. Stir it up by giving attendance to reading and to doctrine.
[2 Timothy 1:6-7 KJV] “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.
Don’t leave your gift to lie dormant. Stir it up; work on it. We must learn to activate the resurrection power and trust God to quicken our mortal bodies to be actively and healthily involved in ministry and missions.
Stay blessed
