Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Twenty-Eight

Have you ever wondered how the Holy Spirit can enter a human spirit? You know that’s what the Bible says. The Spirit of God will be with you and He will be in you. How can God’s spirit be in your spirit? A.W. Tozer offered this explanation. One quality belonging to the Holy Spirit, of great interest and importance to every seeking heart, is penetrability. He can penetrate matter, such as the human body; He can penetrate mind; He can penetrate another spirit, such as the human spirit. He can achieve complete penetration of and actual intermingling with the human spirit. He can invade the human heart and make room for Himself without expelling anything essentially human. The integrity of the human personality remains unimpaired. Only moral evil is forced to withdraw. The metaphysical problem involved here can no more be avoided than it can be solved. How can one personality enter another? The candid reply would be simply that we do not know, but a near approach to an understanding may be a simple analogy borrowed from the old devotional writers of several hundred years ago. We place a piece of iron in a fire and blow up the coals. At first we have two distinct substances, iron and fire. When we insert the iron in the fire we achieve the penetration of the fire by the iron. Soon the fire begins to penetrate the iron and we have not only the iron in the fire but the fire in the iron as well. They are two distinct substances, but they have co-mingled and interpenetrated to a point where the two have become one.1 The human spirit is the essential part of your being. And so in this podcast, we are going to talk about “Why the Human Spirit of Man Is the Real You”, all on this week’s Light on Life.
