Tender Before the Holy Spirit

The Holy Ghost is that special member of the Godhead that deals with the human heart. We know the things of God inwardly only by our welcoming the Spirit to freely witness to us the life He gives. Explaining to someone how to be tender before the Holy Spirit is almost impossible. Only the Spirit Himself can truly teach this great lesson. My desire is to open your heart toward Him in a way that you will never forget. He is the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ, and everything they are in the Redemption of our soul this Spirit desires to witness to us, to teach us until His fullness reigns in us.

Most professing believers are empty inside. They have a believing mind but have never experienced His powers within themselves. The Father desires to change all of that religious coldness to Holy Ghost fire. Much of the church teaches against this experimental side of Christianity. Often pastors are afraid of the experimental side because it has been abused to much destruction. I understand that, but the dead side of Christianity is just as dangerous as the unbalanced experimental side.

The Biblical experience is never out of control. It is both Biblically solid and experimentally sound. New Testament Christianity has never been a cold-cut diet. Fanaticism has often been used as an excuse to conduct safe church where nothing happens lest too much happens. Those that love the whole Word of God need not settle for this model.

God is a supernatural God, and when He sets up home at your physical house, He will change the furniture. The inside of the individual is where He does His primary work. The whole of our being will be flooded with life and living waters if we welcome Him to come in. “He stands at the door and knocks” (Rev. 3:20), but He never opens the door Himself. That is your responsibility. It is so simple to turn yourself over to the work of the Holy Spirit and welcome Him to fill you with Jesus Christ’s very resurrected life.

Jesus said it best, “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (St. John 7:37-38) It all starts inside. He rearranges the furniture in your “living” room and fills it with His glory. An experience that is wrought in the human heart has little chance to be wild and out of order. The Lord Jesus Christ comes by the Spirit to teach a balanced and wholesome discipleship, and He begins this work at the level of our will not our emotions.

Yes, there is the result of “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (I Peter 1:8) Absolutely the Bible records wonderful emotional worship and praise. “And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God:” (Acts 3:7-9) Oh, how the church needs such joy in her midst.

Tenderness before the sweet ministry of ChristÂ’s Spirit will bring revival to the Saints and the House of God. Take time to be quiet in Bible study and private devotions. Ask the Father in ChristÂ’s name to reveal Himself in your life. Open the door of your heart after you have thoroughly surrendered everything to Him. Rest and give Him your all and He will flood your life with Himself.
