“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you.” Romans 8:11
Wow! What a powerful thing, to have the Holy Spirit to live within us. There was a time in my life when I smoked a lot. Before I quit, I was smoking up to three packages a day. When I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I began to read the bible consistently and Romans 8: 11 stood out to me. I fought hard to come up with reasons to continue smoking but the one thing that started me on the path to a non-smoker was this scripture. If the Holy Spirit was residing within me then I was subject to keep it clean in his presence. The same principle applies to our language, our eating habits and anything else that deals with our bodies. The Holy Spirit resides within us to help in our lives and give us the strengths we need in order to overcome our weaknesses. It is important that we sweep our house clean each day and keep the Holy Spirit’s presence a pleasant one. PRAISE THE LORD I ALL THINGS!
