A Spirit Straight From God
A Spirit Straight From God
1. The Spirit of the Gods
“I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.” – Daniel 5:14
- Not only did Daniel allow God to use his mind and body as He saw fit, but he gave himself so completely to God that people even recognized the spirit of God in him.
- What do you think it was about Daniel that made the King say “the spirit of the gods is in you?”
- The disciples were all “filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues” at Pentecost (Acts 2:4).
- Bezalel, a craftsman, was “filled… with the Spirit of God” (Exodus 35:30-31).
- Joshua was “filled with the spirit of wisdom” (Deuteronomy 34:9).
- Micah was “filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD” (Micah 3:8).
- Zechariah, John the Baptist’s dad, was also “filled with the Holy Spirit” (Luke 1:67).
- Paul expected all Christians to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).
- Jesus said that all we have to do to be filled is to ask God (Luke 11:13). Sounds like that’d be worth doing, doesn’t it?
“On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”” – Luke 10:25-28
- Daniel wasn’t so much above average as he was a normal Christian
- Normal Christians should give God glory with their minds
- They should honour God with their strength, their bodies
- And they should love Him with their heart and soul, their spirit
Have a great day
JOHN
