Testimony of the Spirit - Romans 8:16 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day
Romans 8:16 (NIV)
“Testimony of the Spirit”

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
---------------------------------------------------
Well!  When we submit our spirit to the Holy Spirit, HE will testify on our behalf that we are GOD’s children!  This is awesome!  In this we become heirs—heirs of GOD and co-heirs with CHRIST (Romans 8:17)

No matter what anyone says or what anyone can do . . . when I look into the face of my sons and say, “I am your father!”  it testifies that we are in a relationship!  Good or bad, we have a bond through that testimony!  Now they may not always act like they are my children, but the testimony still stands!  But when they submit their ways to my ways . . . then the blessings are rejoiceful!  I still bless them with food and shelter, just as GOD blesses me to be their provider!  But when they submit to the testimony of being my sons . . . they live in joy!  It seems the cup overflows!

It is the same with us and the FATHER.  When GOD has looked into the heart of man (human) and say, “I am your FATHER”, it testifies through HIS Spirit that we are HIS!  We don’t always act like we are HIS, but the testimony still stands!  Submit your ways to the testimony of the Spirit and live as the heirs of GOD and co-heirs with CHRIST!  For by the testimony of the Holy Spirit, we are sealed (Ephesians 4:30)

We are Signed . . . Sealed . . . and Delivered!  Amen!
