| My Dearest Love,
Good evening! Mental note this: function and position, hiers and joint heirs, children, sons and daughters. What is the apex of being born again?
To fully appreciate the virtue of God you must understand the relationship between the Holy Ghost and you. The gift of the Holy Ghost is a relationship of receivership. Each in the Godhead has a function which operates in the bond of peace and the unity of the Spirit, oneness. Jesus’ function redemption and intercession; God is the embodiment of the whole relationship. His will spoke with unanimous consent, “Let us make” us.
Jesus promised he would send the Comforter in his absence so that where he is we may be also. However, before Jesus ever spoke of the Holy Ghost, God sent an angel to speak to Zaccharias saying, “for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. Then God sent the angel unto the Virgin Mary to tell her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Food for thought:
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. When you think about the heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb and his reward; what are your thoughts?
