Do you long for God’s Spirit to move mightily on your behalf?
Do you want God’s anointing flowing through your life?
Are you seeking and searching for personal answers?
The answer is with in your heart and life.
The answer is the Holy Spirit of God!
If you are a true repentant Christian, the Holy Spirit lives with in you!
How ever, He will only be able to accomplish through us what we are willing to yield to Him.
-The first step to a fresh touch is to purify the temple.
Matthew 21:12 "Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
"
The first step to a fresh touch from God will always be to clean out the temple. When we allow sin into our life, we are foreigners to God. Cleansing brings us into a right relationship.
Ephesians 2:19 "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God."
Sin makes us “as foreigners” to God.
Sin is not comfortable in a spiritual atmosphere
. Sin makes the bible “as a foreign language” were the words could be read but not understood.
Sin causing apprehension in the mind when God’s love and power in demonstrated through the Holy Spirit
.
Ephesians 2:20-22 "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."
We need to cleanse our temple, our mind, will and emotions. God’s anointing faithfully works through a clean heart. The Gifts of the spirit operate efficiently through a forgiven saint who washes the halls of their life often. It would be great if we could clean our house one time and never have to cleanse it again. In the spiritual life, we think, I have all ready prayed about my life-once. I have confessed sin-once. I have cleaned my spiritual house-once. Yet remember, you are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. We are being molded, constructed, changed and modified into a temple of the living God. All remodeling work requires clean up. Yes, we all know the purification begins with John 3:16, but hat is the starting point of a life long remodeling project.
When we as believers refuse to follow the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit, refuse to exercise right choices over sins temptations, and choose not to enlist the power of the Holy Spirit, then we are forced into a mundane average Christian experience that grows more mundane with each passing day. The path to God’s fresh touch starts with an attitude of continued cleansing of the temple.
