On May 24th of this year, I stopped at the Bite of Life coffee shop on the way back from St. Patrick’s National Cathedral in Dublin. I asked the Lord what He had to say to me there.
“As you take the latte into your body, so I desire for you to take My Spirit into your soul. It is an act of will on your part – like opening the door to your soul and inviting Me in. Then I will dwell in your inner parts and your inner parts will dwell in Me. But you must first open the door.”
Note: The Holy Spirit has dwelt in my enlivened spirit ever since I was born-again in 1982. That is a fact of the spiritual life. Whether I allow Him to inhabit my soul (mind, will, and emotions) is another matter. At any given moment, I either open the door of my soul to Him, or I don’t. It is a yes or a no, a will or a won’t, an either-or. Those who don’t allow the Spirit of God to govern their everyday life are what are called carnal Christians – saved but exhibiting few signs of being so.
