Back in the late eighties as I was beginning to journal my conversations with Holy Spirit little did I know that what He said then was just as important to me now. One thing I have learnt about God is He is fastidious. There are a couple of dictionary definitions for this word, I like this one best. 'characterised by excessive care or delicacy, painstaking.'
Poppa is definitely painstaking in His relationship with us. If there is something He wishes to get across to me then I only have to look in my journal and I will see it crop up time after time. I am a slow learner, but that is alright as He is faithful and will continue the work He has started in me. Continual Presence Thinking! To have my mind so adjusted as to be aware of His presence continually. These past few months has seen an emphasis on the truth that not only is Jesus the Christ living in me but He wants to live his life in and through me. He told His disciples. 'On that day you will know that I am in the Father, you are in Me, and I am in you.' He also promised another Comforter to come from the Father, the Spirit of truth who would be with us and in us. Why did the Holy Spirit come to live in us at regeneration, and not whisk us away straight into the Father's presence? What was the 'plan' to have God Himself living in human beings on earth who had experienced the fall?
