Peace, dear friends, brothers and sisters! Amen.
Let’s open the Bible to Genesis chapter 6 verse 3 and read together: "If a man is flesh, my Spirit will not dwell in him forever," declares the LORD, "but his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
Today we will study, fellowship, and share together "The natural man does not have the Holy Spirit" Pray: Dear Abba, Holy Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Lord! "The virtuous woman "sent forth workers through their hands, both written and spoken, through the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Food is transported from the sky from afar and supplied to us at the right time to make our spiritual life richer! Amen. Ask the Lord Jesus to continue to illuminate our spiritual eyes and open our minds to understand the Bible so that we can hear and see spiritual truths → Understand that the "Holy Spirit" does not rest on natural people .
The above prayers, thanks, and blessings! I ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
( 1 ) The Spirit of God will not abide with natural people forever
ask: Does the Holy Spirit dwell with a person of "earth" flesh forever?
answer: “If a man is flesh,” declares the LORD, “my Spirit will not dwell in him forever; but his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.
Note: The ancestor "Adam" was created from dust - Jehovah God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into his nostrils, and he became a living, spiritual being named Adam. Genesis Chapter 2 Verse 7 → "A living man with spirit" → Adam is a "living man of flesh and blood" → The same is written in the Bible: "Adam, the first man, became a spirit (spirit: or translated as flesh and blood). "living man"; the last Adam became the life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45
“If a man is flesh, my Spirit will not dwell in him forever,” declares the LORD. →
1 Just like "King Saul" in the Old Testament, the prophet Samuel anointed him with oil, and he had the Spirit of God! Carnal King Saul disobeyed God’s command→Spirit of the Lord” leave "Saul, an evil spirit from the Lord came to trouble him. 1 Samuel 16:14.
2 There is also "King David" who was very afraid that God would withdraw the Holy Spirit because of the transgressions of his flesh. He saw with his own eyes that the Spirit of God left King Saul. He prayed to God in the Psalm and said → Do not cast me away from your presence; do not Take your Holy Spirit away from me. Psalm 51:11
So in the Old Testament we see "prophets and those who fear God". The Spirit of God inspires them, but it will not stay on them forever, because people of the "earth" flesh have selfish desires, and the lustful flesh will gradually become bad. , the "Spirit of God" cannot abide in a corruptible body. People of "earth" flesh cannot contain the Holy Spirit, just as new wine cannot be put into old wineskins. So, do you understand clearly?
( 2 ) New wine cannot be put into old wineskins
Let’s study Matthew 9:17: No one puts new wine into old wineskins; if this were the case, the wineskins would burst, the wine would leak out, and the wineskins would be ruined. Only by putting new wine into new wineskins will both be preserved. "
ask: What does the metaphor of "new wine" refer to here?
answer: " new wine "means" Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ, Holy Spirit "That's right!
ask: What is the metaphor of the "old wine bag"?
answer: "Old wineskins" refers to the old man. Our old man comes from Adam - a living person born from parents → of "earth" flesh. He has been sold to sin, "a sinner and a body of sin". The old man Gradually deteriorate and eventually return to dust→so Jesus said! Old wineskins "cannot" hold new wine, that is to say, the "old man" cannot hold the "Holy Spirit", because the old man is corruptible and leaks, and cannot contain the Holy Spirit. So, do you understand clearly?
ask: What does the metaphor of "new wineskin" refer to?
answer: The metaphor of "new wineskins" refers to the body of Christ, the incarnate body of the Word, the incarnate body of the spirit, the incorruptible body, and the body that is not bound by death→" new leather bag "yes Referring to the body of Christ , "new wine" is packed in "new wineskins", that is, the "Holy Spirit" is "packed in" that is, lives in the "body of Christ" → This is what we say when eating the Lord's Supper: This is my body "unleavened bread" ",us eat That’s it get The body of Christ, this is the "grape juice" in my blood cup, drink it and you will have the life of Christ! Amen.
Our regenerated new man is the body and life of Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells in Christ and we are His members. That is to say, the Holy Spirit dwells in our regenerated new man. It is preserved forever and will never be lost. So, do you understand clearly?
( 3 ) If the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are not carnal
Romans 8:9-10 If the Spirit of God dwells in you, you are no longer of the flesh but of the Spirit. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Romans 8:9.
Note: The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit → If it abides in you, your "regenerated new self" will no longer be of the flesh but of the Holy Spirit. The flesh does not belong to the Holy Spirit. If you are of the flesh, you do not have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will not dwell in people who are of the "earth" flesh. If a person does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. → If you are of the "earth" flesh A man of the flesh, a man of the flesh, the old man of Adam, a sinner under the law, a slave of sin, you do not belong to Christ, you are not born again, and you do not have the Holy Spirit. So, do you understand clearly?
Dear friend! Thank you for the Spirit of Jesus → You click on this article to read and listen to the gospel sermon. If you are willing to accept and "believe" in Jesus Christ as the Savior and His great love, can we pray together?
Dear Abba Holy Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Heavenly Father for sending your only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross "for our sins" → 1 free us from sin, 2 Free us from the law and its curse, 3 Free from the power of Satan and the darkness of Hades. Amen! And buried → 4 Putting off the old man and its deeds; he was resurrected on the third day → 5 Justify us! Receive the promised Holy Spirit as a seal, be reborn, be resurrected, be saved, receive the sonship of God, and receive eternal life! In the future, we will inherit the inheritance of our Heavenly Father. Pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
OK! Today I would like to share my fellowship with you all. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be always with you all! Amen
