FOUNDATIONS: PT 2 — The Holy Spirit Brings The Kingdom In Us (Brenda Drost)
The Holy Spirit is not only given to us to live in us as a deposit guaranteeing our salvation, He also wants to bring the kingdom of God in us, in the places within our heart and soul, our thoughts and emotions and behaviours that are resistant to the will and desire of God. In Heaven, God’s will is always done but in order for His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven we need to be willing to yield the places of our will to his will. There are places in all of us where the kingdom is absent because it is being blocked by our will which exercises its own control and power. One of the foundational works of the Holy Spirit is to bring the kingdom in these areas of our inner life.
