Video Transcript: Healthy Soul Care - The Key Is What Your Soul Is Filled With!
So we're at our last presentation on healthy spiritual life I have how these Soul Life in a lot of ways, most of this presentation, I felt sort of felt like things that you're trying to avoid. You're trying to get that out of your life, get this out of your life. And if you know, the monastic movement, they went through great efforts to be separated from the world. And in some sense that we understand we have to take great efforts and responsibility. But this last one looks at it a little differently. It's not the question of what you limit, it's now the question of what you are filled with. Welcome the Holy Spirit into your soul. Mary did. Luke 1:35, The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. S o the Holy One to be born, will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:38. I am the LORD's servant, Mary answered may it be to me as you have said, Then the angel left her. You know, there's some really heavy, amazing, incredible Greek words there that relate to the soul. First, the Holy Spirit,the Holy Spirit will overshadow you your very essence you will bear Jesus Christ, SON OF LIVING GOD. And then Mary says, may it be consent consents totally to God, entering her soul in her existence. You know, later, that same word is used in Luke. And the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be my witnesses is the same verb. That Holy Spirit will overshadow us and we'll be witnesses. And we say like Mary, Yes, Lord. May it be true of us. We consent to the Holy Spirit's presence in our life. Take the role of the Holy Spirit seriously. Psalm 51:11, do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Ephesians 4:30. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. David sins with Bathsheba and one of the things he is concerned about the leading of the Holy Spirit because he knew if you grieve the Holy Spirit there are consequences. Don't sin against the Holy Spirit. Jesus call it call it the unforgivable sin. Don't grieve the Holy Spirit. Now as humans, we are tempted to do that. But care about your soul, enough to not grieve the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help you choose what goes into your spiritual house. With the Holy Spirit filling, you will learn how to limit the effects of sin clutter. John 14:26. But the counselor the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have said to you. The Holy Spirit will remind you to ask the Holy Spirit to come in and fill you to say Holy Spirit fill me up. I consent to you. I give my life I lay down my will. Your will be the Lord's Prayer. Your will not mine be done. Holy Spirit helps you declutter to a fruitful soul. Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control against such things there is no law. When the Holy Spirit lives in you, you think about everything differently. You're not into blaming others. You're not into how the many ways that I'm unhappy, you start counting your blessings. You start seeing the world in in love, gentleness, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, self control, all of these things become how you see the world. If the fruit of the Spirit are not present, get serious about the health of your soul and ask the Holy
Spirit to fill you. And finally, the Holy Spirit continues to change us and keeps us busy. Titus 3:5, he saved us not because of the righteous things we have done, but because of His mercy, He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Hebrews2:4, God also testifies to it signs, wonders, and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to His will. God is changing you and me. As we yield to the work of the Spirit, the person of the spirit, things happen. In it's not through our efforts. We are faithful, but it is through the work of God in our lives, through the Holy Spirit, yielding and asking the Holy Spirit to come into our souls, remembers our soul is our body and our spirit. So it's at that spirit piece where the Holy Spirit and our spirit connect, and then more Holy Spirit bubbles in every part of our life. And we have work to do we have gifts that are given, there's so many gifts of the Holy Spirit. You know, something like tongues is very controversial. And for those who have tongues, it's a beautiful thing to just express the bubbling over of God in your life. Whether that gives a gift to have or not, it's, it's about the bubbling of the Holy Spirit, not just in tongues if you have or don't have that gift. But in the very person, the counselor, God himself who lives in us you know, the apostle Paul saw that in II Corinthians 4 he talks about how he's beaten and destroyed. And he says, dying, yet we live on. And then a little bit later in II Corinthians 4 he talks about, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. Because what is unseen, is eternal. We are here in this place in time in life. And we are to care for our souls. To live now to proclaim the gospel, to get to heaven and take as many people with us as possible in the that is how we keep our soul connected and well cared for decluttered as we walk this path of life, onward and upward, marching to Zion, together, may God be glorified in your life as you care and declutter your soul, that your spiritual life yields itself to Jesus Christ in the fruits of the Spirit may abound in you both now and forever.
