But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. (Galatians 5:16-18)In the natural world, after a house has been lived in by a person for a period of time it reflects the
character of that person. Likewise, our spiritual houses should reflect the character of the Holy
Spirit who dwells within.
STRENGTHENS:
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be
strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man. (Ephesians 3:16)UNITES:
The Holy Spirit makes a believer one in spirit with God and other believers. This is called the
"unity of the Spirit":
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (I Corinthians 6:17)For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that
one body, being many are one body: so also is Christ.For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into
one Spirit. (I Corinthians 12:12-13)INTERCEDES:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in
the Holy Ghost. (Jude 20)Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
(Ephesians 6:18)
GUIDES:
Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all
truth; for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that
shall He speak; and He will show you things to come. (John 16:13)
