Spirit Driven Church - Dive In

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,

so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

The Amplified Bible says this, that God will “… fill you with all joy and peace in
believing – through the experience of your faith …”.  Through the experience of the Lord you are filled with joy and peace!  That’s exciting!!

At salvation in Christ Jesus you experience “joy and peace … by the power of the Holy Spirit”! Hallelujah!  But, you say, I did that, the saved thing, but life’s a bummer, there’s no “peace ‘n joy”.  Well, let’s get back to the “experience” part of the relationship with God, … to experience God is more than merely taking from God and knowing that you’re not going to hell.  If that’s all you want in life, that’s all you’ll get.  Wouldn't it be better to dive into all that Jesus has for you?

If you know in your heart that Jesus Christ sought you out and shed His blood for you that he might establish a love relationship, well, … then, it’s time to dive in. 

 

Dive into the middle of the Holy River – God’s Holy Spirit – be swept away within the River's power.  Experience a love relationship with the Lord … turn your life over, and not only love him, but let Him love you … consume you … and yes, control or order your steps in life.  This is the Father’s earnest desire for you – peach and joy! 

 

Then, as you love our Lord, and are willing to be consumed, He will immerse you in His Spirit, the River of power that enable you to reach others with the same gospel message of salvation you are blessed with.  Are you willing?

Surrendered, enabled in the Sprit’s power “with all joy and peace,”
