I really appreciate Oswald Chambers' description of how the Holy Spirit seeks to work in our lives and what our appropriate response is to be. I hope that it will be an encouragement to you this day as you strive to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25).
The Holy Spirit cannot be located as a Guest in a house, He invades everything. When once I decide that my “old man” (i.e., the heredity of sin) should be identified with the death of Jesus, then the Holy Spirit invades me. He takes charge of everything, my part is to walk in the light and to obey all that He reveals.
