Daily Bread – September 1, 2021 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) Ephesians 2:18 – For through Him, we are both brought by one Spirit to the Father. Part 3 ~ Jesus Made The Way For The Holy Spirit’s Ministry Jesus purified us with His blood and destroyed the claims of Satan so the Holy Spirit could come and work the miracle of salvation. By the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the power of death was destroyed (Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8). By the blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit created a new man, and raised up from the ruins of our life a holy temple in which He could dwell (1 Corinthians 6:15-19, 3:16; Ephesians 2:20-22). Now being raised up together with Him, we are seated together with Him in the Heavenly realm (Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 3:1-3; Romans 6:5). Now we are the new creation, the circumcision that worships God in the Spirit (Philippians 3:3; Colossians 2:11; John 4:23-24). By the Holy Spirit, we receive everything that belongs to Jesus (John 16:13-15). Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we come to know and understand all the things of God and learn to function in all His ways (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
