How to Cooperate with the Holy-Spirit
Most Christians today are something of a carnal Christians. Much like King Saul. People are weak and are ignorant to their weakness and later blame God for the position they put themselves in.
Watch Full Sermon here. Or continue reading.
God never makes mistakes. He didn't make a wrong choice when he chose Saul as a king. And yet he regretted it because - Saul failed to cooperate with the Holy spirit because his very recurring hiccups.
God changed his mind about destroying Nineveh not because his first choic was a wrong choice but he saw that repentance was made unto cooperati with the law.
Gods plans are perfect but they require man to cooperate with the Holy Spirit.
Hiccups are bouts of flesh that burst out of us. Like Saul suddenly yielding to a distressing spirit and trying to pin David & Jonathan to the wall. He did that becal he was fleshy, impatient, self-willed, proud and inconsistent with God and His Words.
Cooperating with the spirit requires us to HOLD FAST to his words. The spirit is a candle inside our hearts that will light up and show us the depth of our heart. It will expose sin and give grace to work on it. It will lead and guide in the ways that we should take.
Being spiritual or Godly - is to make and take decisions that are aligned to the word of God and His spirit as opposed to our flesh.
When the spirit is lit. We have to protect it. The devil always tries to extinguish what the spirit has lit up and he finds the weakest one. Therefore we have to exercise our spiritual capacities and recognise what is feeding our spirit. Is it the internet, and the internet content of vulgarity, jokes, lust, anger, hate, ego, pride, money or is it the Holy spirit.

And once your spirit is lit up and is strengthened be the enablement of the Holy Spirit, the equipment of the Word, the edification of the saints… THEN… Psalms 18:28 becomes a reality and there is NO STOPPING YOU!!
For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I canrun against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
