- To have and possess the Holy Spirit is to have and possess Christ Jesus. To have and possess Christ is to have ALL of GOD and ALL of His gifts and benefits available, especially the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- Gifts of GOD can only be Received and Enjoyed by His grace, through Faith.
- We can only PARTAKE or SHARE or COMMUNE with Christ by Grace through Faith!
- This communion, sharing and partaking is centrally and essentially connected with Abiding in Christ (John 15:1-8). Abiding in Christ is Meditating, and drinking in the WORD of GOD.
- Meditating and drinking in upon the Written WORD is 100% dependence upon the Spirit of the LIVING WORD, JESUS CHRIST.
- This is how we “koinonia”, share and participate in the “divine nature” (2 Pet 1:3 & 4); only by His grace through faith. In GOD’s realm, dimension and environment, NOTHING is Impossible, ALL THINGS are Possible, when I Believe Him, and His WORD, and in faithful obedience, Speak and Act upon His WORD.
- “GOD Mode” is living in the Spirit. It is walking by faith and not by sight (2 Cor 5:7). It is living in the Spirit, ever conscious of GOD through HIS WORD in our awareness, and often “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts, teaching and admonishing one another” (Col 3:16 ff and Eph 5:18 ff).
KOINONIA in Christ!
