Exodus 14: 20

“And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.”
‭

God had set himself between the two camps, he had been leading his people, who followed where ever He had lead, and then when the enemy came, God had moved and placed himself between His people and the enemy.

God will always fight to protect his people, He places himself between us and our adversary, always striving to deliver us into His better promises.

I have heard a number of preachers lately all agreeing on a topic, how far God is willing to go for us, how he pulls us out of the fire, and they are correct.

He sent His son, to place himself on a cross, that we may look to him there, and be freed from whatever plagued us, he rolls up his sleeves, pulls us out of the fire if our situations, and places us beside His son.

The enemy always seeks to bring us down, and back into bondage, but if we look to God and follow Him, He will stand against our enemy, placing himself between us and them, that he may deliver us.

God is willing to do abundantly more than we ever think or realize, if it keeps us in His grace, and free from our enemy. His desire is to keep us and not to lose us, no matter the circumstance, God’s love is greater than we can know or see, but it is there.

Dearly beloved, there is much confusion within the church about many spiritual things, but one of the biggest is the gift of the baptism o the Holy Spirit, the spirit of the comforter, which seeks the heart of the Lord.

All Christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for none can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit, however we are also offered the baptism of the Holy Ghost, our spirit being fully immersed in the Spirit of God. There is countless verses that express the gift of the Holy Spirit, and His role in the church even to today.

Jesus told the apostles they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they did, and it manifested in both gifts and miracles, but also in an even greater boldness and love for the Lord. Fishermen became powerful orators and preachers of the gospel. Miracles were wrought and the kingdom of God was advanced and grew.

We seek not the power of the Holy Spirit for our own glory, but for the glory of him who pours him out upon us, for the glory of God.

The Spirit searches the things of God, hears God and speaks to us, that we may better know the things of God. This is the indwelling spirit inside of us, but the baptism of the Holy Spirit takes us to new spiritual levels.

Saul received at least six things when prayed for by Ananias they are: acceptance into the church, forgiveness by the church, a new name, new vision, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and a new role. Paul always gave credit to his preaching as being in the power of the Holy Spirit, right in line with what Jesus told the church.

Peter said the gift of the Holy Spirit was for those who heard, to their children, all who were afar off, as many as the Lord will call. acts 2:38/39 in other words, the gift of the Holy Spirit is for all who believe, not for our own glory, but for the glory of the Lord, that the body may edify each other and itself. The Holy Spirit is for the edification of our own spirit, for the church, and as a sign to the nonbeliever

The best part of all of it, we have but to ask, doubting nothing, and receive from the lord with faith, and he will pour it out without measure.
