"The Spirit As A Pledge"

“The Spirit As A Pledge.”

Blessings folk!

Our earthly tent may moan and groan, still we press on, longing for that which is yet to come.

2Co 5:4-5

For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.


Yes, we are burdened.
Yes, we had rather be clothed with the house of God yet to come.
Yes, we desire to be swallowed up by life…life in Him.

God knows.
He prepared us.
He created us.
He did so before the foundations of the earth.

He has prepared us for the life that He desires.
He has given us the work to do.

He has given us…true believers…the Holy Spirit as a pledge.

A pledge?
Yes.
A “down payment” on the house of God yet to come.
A foreshadowing of the relationship we will have with God Eternal.

We are not alone.
We are not without His Presence.
We are not without His power.

Live in the truth that you are an empowered vessel of the Most High God…
