Sealed In The Spirit

Sealed With The Holy Spirit

What does it mean to be sealed with the Holy Spirit? Through God’s Mercy and Grace with the suffering, death, and Resurrection of His only Son, Jesus Christ, ALL of His Children are given the choice to fervently repent of their sins, ask for God’s Forgiveness, and request Jesus into their hearts to change them for His Good (i.e. Jesus IS patiently waiting outside their heart’s door just for this opportunity). His Helper, the Holy Spirit IS sent, they are Born Again in Spirit and Sealed with the Holy Spirit. God’s Word shares with you regarding being sealed with His Holy Spirit. “Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us IS God, who also sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.” (2 Corinthians 1:21) His Word also warns His Children do not grieve the Spirit. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away with you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:30-32) Does this mean that His Children no longer have troubles after this? No. “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Tribulation, suffering, and affliction belong to this world and there is no escaping them. This is a hard lesson to learn. We can, however, take heart, because God has overcome the world. Being sealed with the Holy Spirit through Him, we are Victors with Christ in us! We are blessed with God’s Joy and Peace even in the midst of this world’s worst. We have the opportunity to accept, use, or reject His Blessings. The Divine Spirit supplies us with the energy of His Determination. God urges us to build ourselves up in Holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Even before we start to study God’s Inspired Word, we need to ask God to send His Holy Spirit to reveal to us what He needs us to know and understand in those exact moments. We also need to make this request to send His Holy Spirit, to help us before we pray to our Heavenly Father, to help and direct us. We should always end our prayers with “In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen.” We need to die daily and be Renewed and Refreshed in the Spirit daily, to grow in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and He in you. Can the seal of the Holy Spirit be broken? Yes. By our choice of not being obedient and sliding away from God, this can definitely happen. The best part IS that God, through His Mercy and Grace, will take back His Child who fervently repents and asks for His Forgiveness.

My thoughts and prayers are that you are sealed with His Holy Spirit. That you die daily and are Renewed and Refreshed daily in the Spirit, growing in Him and He in you. That you do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit of God. That you seek God’s Face in every thought, word, and deed. That you ask Him for His Forgiveness when you don’t. That you share Him with others. In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace.
