Real Dudes,
In 1994, the movie Angels in the Outfield (link to the official Trailer) entered our VCR’s…I’m trying to date myself here. The Angels were a horrible professional baseball team until the “real” angels took over. Athletes were making impossible plays all over the field…thanks to a little help from the angels who were controlling their every move. The players and fans were all amazed at what they were accomplishing. Just think, what if I were to walk onto a basketball court and Michael Jordan took control of my body and he played through me. No one would actually see Michael, but they’d see the evidences of the work he was doing in and through me. We know that could never happen, but what we do know is that once someone receives Christ as Savior they now have the Holy Spirit residing within them. They now have the power to accomplish the impossible…the all things... Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you’re every move, and enjoy the exciting journey. Nate Romans 8:14 (NIV) For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:9 (NIV) You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 1 John 4:13 (NIV) This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 1 John 3:24 (NLT) Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us. John 14:17 (NLT) He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. 1 Corinthians 3:16 (NLT) Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 1 Corinthians 6:17 (NIV) But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV) Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 2 Corinthians 6:16 (NLT) And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Galatians 4:6 (NIV) Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." Ephesians 3:17 (NLT) Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 2 Timothy 1:14 (NLT) Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you. John 3:8 (NIV) The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." Romans 8:5-6 (NIV) Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Ephesians 3:20 (NIV) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, John 16:13 (NIV) But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 14:26 (NIV) But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Romans 8:11 (NIV) And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 1 Peter 3:18 (NLT) Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. Romans 15:19 (NLT) They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God’s Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum. Philippians 4:13 (NIV) I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
