Surrendering to the Holy Spirit: From Sealing to Baptism
In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The central theme revolves around the concept of surrender and the different levels of our relationship with the Spirit. We're reminded of Jesus' promise in John 14 to send us an advocate, a comforter to help us. This help comes in the form of the Holy Spirit, who not only seals us as children of God but also works to sanctify us. The message uses vivid symbolism, comparing our lives to a container filled with the 'baggage' of our past experiences.
As we surrender more to the Spirit, He works to remove this baggage, filling us instead with His presence. This process of 'more of Him, less of us' is beautifully illustrated, encouraging us to reflect on areas in our lives where we might be resisting God's transformative work. The message challenges us to move beyond simply having the Spirit in us, to being fully immersed in Him, allowing His current to guide our lives completely. Be Blessed!
