Let’s be honest—some of us treat the Holy Spirit like we treat guests in an Airbnb.

As an Airbnb host, I know a thing or two:

• Guests don’t get full access.
• Certain areas are locked.
• They can’t move walls or change the layout.
• And most of all, they don’t stay forever.

We do the same thing with the Holy Spirit—invite Him in on Sunday, maybe Wednesday, but keep the “DO NOT ENTER” signs up in our hearts. That’s Airbnb Christianity. But Romans 8:11 calls us to something deeper—habitation, not visitation.

And the Spirit we’re talking about? He’s not new on the scene.

• This Same Spirit who hovered over the waters at Creation.
• This Same Spirit who raised Jesus from the grave.
• This Same Spirit now dwells in you.
