I saw a butterfly fluttering nearby a couple of days ago. It was light orange-yellow and moved along of its own power. Normally it would have been easy to notice. But it is Fall, and thousands of small light orange-yellow leaves were falling all around me. They were being carried by the wind, wherever the breeze would take them.

A person who believes in Jesus as their risen Lord is born again and filled by God, Who is the Holy Spirit. He dwells in us by his “gift” of holy spirit. It is also called the “spirit of Christ,” because we have all the authority, inheritance, and blessings that Christ bought for us. So what are we to do with God’s “unspeakable gift”? We can show it forth the way that our Father wants us to.
What is God’s “word” or communication to mankind? Where is it found? The answer is simple: in the great heavenly dome above us, in written words of those who spoke for God, and in the one sinless person who walked among us.
We wrestle not against mere men, but spirits in high places
There is an Old Testament scripture that has often given me comfort.
I am able to live and write and think because God gave me a body and a mind. My parents had a lot to do with me being here. It is THROUGH their relationship with each other that I was conceived and born. When I got born AGAIN years later, it was THROUGH all that Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior did for me. Let’s look at what we have THROUGH CHRIST in some of the New Testament uses of this idea.
Satan and his host of evil spirits ARE ALREADY DEFEATED.
Paul spoke in tongues a lot! He said so.
