Good gifts.

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him" (Luke 11:13 KJV)? Our enemy is the devil, but more than that, our enemy is the many things that come from the world, the very things that keep us from serving God with a pure heart. We have to be willing to be tough in order to war against the darkness that has come into the world. This darkness cannot be defeated by our own strength or muscle, nor bombs or guns. This enemy is brought down by the Holy Spirit, and where the Spirit is there is freedom. So many times we try to fight the things that can only be fought by the Spirit in our own strength, and we find ourselves doubting, full of fear, and soon abandoning the true faith in Jesus Christ. The Church in this last hour needs to realize that in order to have victory over the enemy, we have to obey the Holy Spirit. However, if we don't know the Holy Spirit, then how can we allow Him to move in our lives? "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:14). We have to move from the natural into the supernatural, and this cannot be done by man but only through God. With the Holy Spirit working in us, we are capable and equipped to stand and defeat the wickedness of these last days. Allow the Lord of Glory to baptize you with the Holy Spirit. We sure do need Him. God bless you. Amen.
