The New Man in Christ Is a Perpetual Miracle

By A. W. Tozer
 

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of God.     - Romans 8:14

   The man of God, the true Spirit-filled man of God, is a
perpetual miracle!

   He has come to his knowledge of God by the wonder
of the new birth and the illumination of the Spirit.
Therefore his life is completely different from the world
around him.

    Consider with me the words of 1 John 2:27: "But the
anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same
anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is
no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in
him."

    John was a teacher and he says that your knowledge
of God is not taught you from without - it is received
by an inner anointing!

    What are we going to do with this truth?  Are we going
to open the door of our personality - fling it wide?

    Let us not be afraid of the Holy Spirit - He is an
illuminator. He is light to the inner heart. He will show us
more of God in a moment than we can learn in a lifetime
without Him. He will not throw out what we have learned
if it is the truth - He will set it on fire, that's all!  He will
add fire to the altar.

    The blessed Holy Spirit waits to be honored.  He will
honor Christ as we honor Christ. He waits - and if we
will throw open our hearts to Him, a new sun will rise on
us!  I know this by personal experience in my own life and
ministry.
