Greater Grace Notes from 4/13 on Spirit Filling

Some notes from this morning's church service:
Ezekiel 36:26 - He gives us a new heart and a new spririt.
A believer can have a stony heart. Hebrews 3:8 says do not harden your heart. In verse 10 we grieve Him with our erring hearts. In Jjeemiah 7:5-9 it speaks of a deceitful heart.
But He gave us a new spirit and a new heart.

2 Peter 1:4 Divine power is given unto us. This is theantric action (from theos = God and anthropos = man). In John 15 He is the vine and we are the branches. The new heart and the new spirit know the ways of God. We were raised form the dead in Him. He didn't just fix our hearts. He gave us new ones. We are new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17).

1 Corinthians 2:14-15, 3:1. Types of people:
1) The natural (soulish)
2) The spritual (knows all things as God reveals 1 John 2:20)
3) The carnal (fleshly, not currently operating in the spirit or partaking of divine nature in his experience).

Ephesians 5:18 Be filled with The Spirit.
Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:8. The spirit comes upon us. Although we already have The Holy Spirit, in an annointing we can feel Him as He comes upon us.
1 Corinthians 12:13 Drinking in the spirit

Let God enlarge your heart. Don't have a heart that's like a little prune. Let Him regenerate, annoint, empower, and fill you.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
