IvoryEagle Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 It means we are not alone, powerless, or double-minded. We belong to Christ. The Spirit is a part of the Trinity and keeps us united to God through Christ; He is our connecting point at all times. It is a forever relationship, the best is yet to come.

pickledilly Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 The presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer is the evidence of genuine salvation/adoption by the Father. He brings the life and power of God into our previously deadened spirit. I like Pastor Ralph’s description of the Spirit as an “interface”, as that’s a great picture of how the Spirit connects us to God the Father. An interface is a point of interaction between two components, enabling communication between them while allowing independent function. In the simplest of terms, through the Spirit we have access to the Father and the Father communes with us. The Spirit’s presence certifies and guarantees the fulfillment of every promise the Father has made to every soul who is in Christ. There are blessings of personal guidance, comfort, encouragement, etc. for our journey through this earthly life. And as joint heirs with Christ, we are guaranteed every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm that the Father has endowed to Christ (Eph.1:3)! There are the ultimate eternal blessings of unending union with Christ and everlasting life without the presence or power of unrighteousness!

Bondservantmccue Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Q1. (2 Corinthians 1:21b-22) According to this verse, what does the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives signify? This goes on further when you remember these first Christians had so much power through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost with God's seal, that is powerful, God just does not anoint anybody, you got to be called out and separate yourself from the world. How does the Spirit unite us with God? Someone full of the Holy Ghost, will quickly become and sense others with the same spirit, i pray continually for more discernment in my own life, these days are full of false prophets and spirits . What is the promise of future blessing inherent in the Spirit’s presence? with the pure indwelling and real Holy Ghost leading your live your blessings are unlimited and the power likewise, you must bee full of the Holy Ghost to maintain a Godly Christian lifestyle.

Johnguitars Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 While not exactly a seal of approval, this annointing of the HS is a sign that God is working on us and that he has chosen us. As a musician I have felt this annointing countless times when praising the Lord. It may be worth noting that I do not feel any such thing when playing Beatle's songs or Moon River so it is not just the music. At the start of this year I received an extra dose of the HS and His presence is now with me even when I simply think about God. I remember saying, 'Why do I need this?' and within a few weeks both my work and health took a real bashing. It has been a great lesson, God does not takes us around the storm, He holds us right through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mary58 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Q1. (2 Corinthians 1:21b-22) According to this verse, what does the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives signify? That we belong to God and will receive completion of his promise. How does the Spirit unite us with God? It is the medium of the anointing (instead of physical oil), selecting us -- setting us apart -- to be His. What is the promise of future blessing inherent in the Spirit’s presence? It is the proof that his contract will be fulfilled -- in eternity. Just as a monetary deposit guarantees more to come on completion of a job, the spirit guarantees more to come. Guarantees.

That we are property of God…it testify that we are Sons of God..that we belong to God..(Romans 8:9- You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.) 2.How does the Spirit unite us with God? The Spirit and God are one. 3.

Lion of Grace Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 signifies that God has chosen us and has put His mark on us to show that we are His. He put His Holy Spirit in us to be a guarantee for all He has promised. He placed a seal of ownership on us and gave us a final "yes" as to our salvation and His promises.The Holy Spirit's presence in us, is our security and He helps us to stand firmly in our faith and through Him we know the truth. 1 John 2:20-23 says, "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man that denies Jesus Christ. Such a man is the anti-christ - he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also." When we enter into relationship with Jesus as our Savior, we have fellowship with the Father. Those who have fellowship with the Father and the Son, receive the Holy Spirit and have fellowship with each other through their faith and their anointing and will receive the truth.

bmudrack Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Q1. (2 Corinthians 1:21b-22) According to this verse, what does the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives signify? How does the Spirit unite us with God? What is the promise of future blessing inherent in the Spirit’s presence? I believe having the Holy Spirit dwelling inside us gives us power to overcome temptation. He draws us near to God and allows us to communicate directly with God without having to go through a priest for atonement like in the Old testament. With the Spirit's help, I can go through any troubles and know that I have the power to stand up in the face of that trouble and be the victor. Whatever comes my way.
