“It’s on the BIG SCREEN now, that commercial, and it is so attractive it’d make you want to sell all you have, if possible, to get all the products on that line.” “What? I cannot believe I fell for that commercial and bought the product, and it does not look like what they said. These companies and their over-exaggerated presentation of their products and services, you can never trust them.”

One brand decides they want people to know what they have to offer and they put out commercials to that effect. Sad thing is that too many times, the commercials are usually an overhype compared to the product and what it can do. Today, you can sell a bad product with a great commercial. 

Sadly, many people relate with the Holy Spirit as though He is a bad commercial for the redemption story that we are told in Scripture. Why not? If all you know about Him is fault-finding, then that’s bad. Yet the Holy Spirit is a perfect commercial, inviting you to participate in the life of God provided in Christ Jesus.

The whole idea behind being on a diet is that people get to become a lot more intentional about what they eat because of the goals they set for themselves concerning their health, body shape, and wellness. If anyone tells you that they are dieting, you can be sure that they are following a strict feeding routine, with the intention of arriving at a determined destination. What is true about our physical diet is also true about what we feed ourselves with as believers.

One area where the ministry of the Spirit is magnified in our lives is in the area of what we are to feed on when it comes to our desire to be nourished in our Spirit man. As a believer, you must understand the ministry of the Spirit and the role He plays in guiding you to feed right. Every manifestation of the Spirit in our lives is tied to what we feed on. You cannot feed on the junk of relying on your human effort and hope to arrive at a place where you are accepted by God as pleasing to Him. That is just not going to happen. 

We will further the Big Screen series with the Dieting episode. In this episode, we will allow the Spirit of God to show us what it means to feed right, following His ministry in our lives.

Everyone is concerned about having an edge in their lives. Everyone! This quest for having an edge drives almost every endeavor that people are engaged with. Much of what people rely on as their edge do not really hold them strong against the tumultuous tides that people experience in their lives. 

Life was designed to be easy because life was designed to be lived from the place of the insight that the Holy Spirit brings us. Living in the world gets very complicated so quickly and easily, that people can get burnt out trying to figure out the complexities of life. Has anyone asked you lately how you are coping with the real world? 

It is not okay to do life without a deep-seated understanding that God gave you an edge, an advantage for doing life. The Holy Spirit is a genius and listening to Him will make you look smart. 

In this episode, we will explore THE EDGE  that we have access to because of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

“Jesus, it is what you have been revealed to be doing to us for all of eternity that forms the basis of our relationship with the ministry of the Holy Spirit.” 

Many people enjoy/endure the spooky nature of their relationship with the Holy Spirit. People have weird ideas of what the Holy Spirit enjoys doing to them and much of it borders around the notions that have been picked up from living in a corrupted world system.

The slaps, the kicks, the pushings, somersaults, insults, and all the other shady things that the “Holy Spirit” seems to do to people in order to get their attention do not seem to align with how the Holy Spirit is presented in scripture. There is no doubt about it that people want to be led. However, the methods that the Holy Spirit employs when leading people have to be consistent with what scripture reveals. Without this clarity, people will not only be led but they will be led away from the truth of God’s mind. 

As we further the Big Screen Series, we are laying the foundation of what the Holy Spirit does to us as believers and what the parameters of His ministry to us are. How will you have peace without an assurance of what the Holy Spirit can do to you?

It takes two, yes, it always does! However in our relationship with Jesus, this “it takes two” idea will have to be understood properly because the church (the bride) is not expected to bring an equal amount of anything to this relationship. Jesus brings everything into the relationship and our job is to receive from Him. How then does it take two? Well, Jesus has agreed to be the giving party, and you (His bride) has to accept to rest and receive from Him.

Sounds simple right? Yes, it does, until culture begins to tug at you. It sounds simple until your emotions begin to pull you towards ideas that do not look like rest. It sounds simple, yet not many are enjoying its benefits.

During this final episode of the Code of the Elves Series, we want to establish the idea that we are in a union with our big-hearted significant other, Jesus, the gentleman groom who loves His bride so passionately. Imagine how healthy our experience as being married would be if we all experienced the beauty and pleasure of being the bride of Jesus. Let Him do to you what you are going to do to the other person.
