The All Knowing , All Powerful God... is a Spirit.. and we as humans ALL have some portion of his Great Spirit within each and everyone of us.

DeleteBut... You must realize that God is Everything. God controls all good and all evil. So God is all that is good and all that is evil also. But the best part of God is Christ. Christ is mostly all good. Christ is meek and humble, but is also strong and powerful. Christ is overall kind and loving and compassionate. He is not loud and boisterous, and overly acting proud, and showy. When you see ministers and others acting this way, it is the adversary part of God that is presenting itself, and often leading many astray, as many tv ministers are. Then again, we are all human, and so as humans we are still all sinners, and we err. To err is human. So as humans, we should feel ashamed of the evil that dwells within us, and should try to show some self control over the adversary within us, and try to accentuate the Christ Spirit as much as possible. - to try to love one another, and try to treat others the way that you would like to be treated.. and I say TRY.. because you can never as a human do that completely.
ReplyDelete.We all have His spirit but in order to feel him, we need to pray,repent and read his word..Stay hooked up...for His word is a light unto our feet that directs or path..Psalm 119:105(KJV)
