What Is This Spirit?

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.  Revelation 22:17

There are spirits of jealousy, sullenness, ill-will, lying, and that disturbing spirit God gave to Saul. There was a spirit that passed by Eliphaz in Job and made the hair on his body stand up. There is also the spirit of wisdom, a contrite spirit,  a generous spirit, a spirit of understanding, and a spirit in which there is no deceit. But over all and above all there is the Spirit of God. From Genesis 1:2 to Revelation 22:17 in hundreds of verses we find the Spirit of God in action. The Spirit is important to His story, and so is the spirit within us. What a great gift our Lord Jesus gave to us when He gave His Spirit to be in us with our spirit. Through our Lord's Spirit come the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control. What is this Spirit? The Spirit is the very life of Christ in us! 

Have a great Monday in Christ the Lord!
