The Keys of the Kingdomનમૂનો

‘Remaining in the Spirit’ is a logos master key.

Jesus talked about us remaining in Him and Him remaining in us. Paul wrote that since we live by the Spirit, we must keep in step with the Spirit.

A sign of spiritual maturity is using the master key of remaining in the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is not fickle. He does not leave us every time we miss the mark and fall short of the glory of God. He has taken up residence in us and He is committed to us on our journey of faith. Jesus Himself promised that He is with us to the very end of the age. We need to understand that God will never leave us nor forsake us; He will remain in us.

Therefore, the real question is: Will we remain in Him? This is not a question about being born again. This is all about living a life submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in every moment. Even when we are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, we can very easily step from being in the Spirit to being out of the Spirit.

Have you ever said something careless that hurt someone? Have you ever disobeyed something that you know the Holy Spirit told you to do? Have you ever ignored that prompting to tell someone about Jesus? Have you ever given into temptation?

In these moments, the Spirit has remained in us, but we have not remained in the Spirit.

It could rightfully be said that humility is a key that unlocks the master key of remaining in the Spirit. In those moments when we want to fight for our rights, we have an opportunity to humbly declare, “Not my will, but Yours be done Father.” As we obey the written Word of God and we follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit, something powerful happens in the realm of the spirit – the master key has just unlocked on earth as it is in heaven.

When we remain in the Spirit, we don’t have to work everything out in advance. By keeping in step with the Holy Spirit, He will lead us into all truth. He will show us the way to go, and He will be the Source of all that we need for all that He has called us to be and to do.
