That a thing will remain unchanged, in a state of rest until an external force is applied to it, is one of the laws in physics and how true that law is. Our lives would remain as though redemption has not taken place until we realize what influence the Spirit is meant to have in us and upon all that concerns us.
When Jesus was trying to describe what our lives would look like after the Holy Spirit comes, he mentioned "bellies" and He mentioned "rivers." In other words, God has designed that out of us would flow an abundance of provision, both of ideas and of enormous influence over negative forces. When it comes to good thoughts flowing out of us, we experience a flood and when it comes to putting an end to negative circumstances, we ought to simply drown them.
Life was designed to be easy, and it is, so long as this river is given free flow into the area of need.
We are highlighting the Spirit's work in abundantly satisfying us with sound thoughts, whilst influencing us to drown anything that does not line up with our redemptive truths.
