Life Transformed – The Ministry of Our Human Spirits – Part 3

August 10, 2009 | Comments Off


“Our spirit is to rule our mind. When the Holy Spirit enters, He intends to rule our spirit. Through our spirit, the Holy Spirit intends to govern our mind, and by our renewed mind, to corral and direct our passions. That is God’s plan, His order for our interior being. But from our infancy we have installed our conscious, carnal mind in control of our flesh to rationalize our desires, protect our feelings, think our thoughts, and plan our steps.”

The Sandfords says that it is our lack of trust, developed in the womb and reinforced in childhood, that has taught our spirit to not let go and allow the Holy Spirit to rule. We need to regain our trust in His lordship if we hope to corral our carnal minds and rampaging emotions, bringing them into conformity with Christ.

Where do you see this in the people you minister to? In yourself?
