J.O. Sanders in Enjoying Intimacy with God (Moody, p. 91) states “A walk in the Spirit will of necessity be a walk in accordance with the Word the Spirit has inspired. The parallel between Ephesians 5:18-21 and Colossians 3:15-17 is significant. The same results are said to flow from being filled

We must understand that God’s idea of “good” means that the events as a whole are constructive.
“A woman fell and broke her arm. Is that good? In and of itself it is not, but she went to the hospital, and the doctors found she also had cancer. Because it was found early enough she lived.”

God does not save us by knowledge, but by faith. A minimum knowledge is necessary, however. Rom 10:14 “How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him

God’s Word directs us in Malachi that in order to “stop” the cycle of withholding we must “release” those things we hold of value. To borrow a phrase form a 1980’s fire awareness TV commercial I say we must STOP, DROP, and ROLL! If we can liken our “hurts” to a fire: It consumes absolutely –

You see, the power of holiness is God’s power at work in us. It is not some spiritual battery pack that we recharge and discharge at our discretion. It is not the we become powerful in the Spirit, rather it is God’s Spirit that is powerful in us. The power of holiness is God himself in action.

I believe that God wants us to be positive in our speech. When you meet a person on the street and say that they look terrible, what happens? They are not pleased and may feel depressed. If you can say something positive to them they feel much better. I believe it is the same way in which we
