THE ONE SPIRIT - BY Pastor Richardson

 THE ONE SPIRIT  

BY Pastor Richardson

 Holy angels are spiritual emissaries of God. Demons( fallen angels) our spiritual beings, who assiduously carry out their  assigned  tasks by their prince(  Ephesians 2:2; 6:12; Hebrews 1:7, 14;1 John 4;1). We should be more sensitive to the reality of the unseen evil spirit world around us ( 1 Corinthians 2: 8; 14:10; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 10:4; Galatians 5:17; Ephesians 3:10; 6:11–12; 1 Jon 5:19). God, the Holy Spirit, is the sole monitor and dispenser of all spiritual truth (John 16:13). Although we be surrounded by a host of evil spirits we are indwelt by the omnipresent Holy Spirit ( 2 Kings 6:16; 1 Jon 4:4).

 One of our shortcomings is our failure  to assess the vast chasm which exists  between the spirit and the flesh  ( Romans 7:18; 1st Corinthians 15:46; Galatians 5:17). Tyrannical flesh has dominated the world since the fall of man ( Romans 8:3 ). Human efforts are impotent when they are used to combat the weakness of the flesh( John 6:63; 7:19; Acts 7:53; 15:10. The first penalty exacted against  man's  disobedience was spiritual death,which is separation from God. Physical death followed in its wake (Genesis 3:19; Romans 5:12; Hebrews 2:15; 9:27).

 Some reputable religions reject vicarious atonement is the only antidote for sin. As a result they rule out physical death is a reality. The outcome has been that God's word is desecrated  and human ego is inflated( John 3:27;; 15:5). A perpetual  controversy is being waged between the forces of life and the forces of death, or between the spirit and the flesh.

 A multitude of other duties of the Holy Spirit are equally indispensable in God's plan for his creatures. He was the renovator of the physical world for initial human habitation( Genesis 1:2). He alone is capable of developing spiritual growth in believers, as their comforter,  guide and  intercessor (John 16:14; Romans 8:26). Paul accents the necessity of walking in the spirit, as the secret of victorious living( Romans 8:4–13).

 The Holy Spirit is the spirit of prophecy apprentices (John 16:13; 2 Peter 1:21). He provides access into both the heavenly New Covenant Kingdom and the new man( body). Each requires different qualifications for admission ( John 3:3, 5; 1st Corinthians 12:13). All of these special attributes attest to the importance of maintaining the Unity of the Spirit. The application of this Unity guarantees uncondit- ional liberty and perfect harmony within the body, when it is prompted by sincerity, conformity and confidence  (2 Corinthians 3:17).

 Seducing spirits and influenced religious leaders to promulgate  an array of pseudo creeds which do not conform with the written Word. We must be able by the Spirit's enablement to discern between these conflicting voices (1 Timothy 4:1).

 From the casual observation it might appear that the Seven  Unities would not be adequate for solving all of the complex problems relating to the Body. For example, the basic precept of inspiration of the Word does not appear specifically in the Seven Unities. However, if we accept the ONE Spirit principle is our absolute guide, we would be bound to accept without reservation the entire Word as being inspired by the Holy Spirit ( Romans 15:4; 1st Corinthians 10 -11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Peter 10– 11;  2 Peter 1:21)

 Likewise the doctrine of inbred sin is not incorporated in the seven-fold Unity of God. Yet, man cannot be convicted of sin except by The ONE Spirit ( John 16:9). It is the prerogative of that   ONE Spirit to confer all spiritual gifts upon members of the Body ( 1 Corinthians 12:11). Time would fail is to expand upon all the intricacies of the works of the Holy Spirit. The instructions in this Unity are not expressed in detail, but basics for further development in the Body truth are found therein.

 The Unity of the Holy Spirit in the Unity of the Body are associated directly with the Unity of the ONE  Baptism, which will be discussed later ( 1st Corinthians 12:13). Thus, we see how closely knit are the Seven Unities within the one Unity of God. Each and all autonomy, yet they are inseparable ( Acts 1:14; 2:1; Philippians 2:2).
