Gloria Copeland — Be Sensitive to the Holy Spirit

In the past we were debtors to the flesh. But now
God is calling us to set our affection on things above.
He wants us to give our attention to the things of
the spirit so we can dominate the world around us
with the love and power of God. God has patiently
waited for the Church. It’s time for His power and
glory to be manifested as never before.

The Lord told Kenneth that there are three things
we would have to do to move in the flow of the Holy
Spirit: 1) We must purge ourselves of sin, 2) We
must intercede and 3) We must prepare for criticism.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the
dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the
dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his
Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we
are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye
through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body,
ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:11-14).

In the Old Testament, God’s children were very
careful about the dwelling place of the Spirit of God.
We must consider who is living in us! We are walking,
mobile temples of the Holy Ghost! “I will be a Father
to them,” God said. “I will dwell in them and walk in
them.”

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will
raise you from the bondage of a mortal body. He
quickened the mortal flesh of Jesus and will quicken
our mortal flesh by His Spirit. But we have to give
Him place. We must be sensitive to Him and be ever
conscious of His presence.

The Holy Spirit is not a dictator. He will move only
when we yield to Him. He is our strengthener and
the One called alongside to help. He cannot assist
us if we’ll not participate with Him in spiritual action.
We must be aware of His presence and cooperate
with Him.
