The God that is in us

The God that is in us. That is the title that I have given this message because that is the amazing truth that we have. Jesus said:

"Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. ~John 6:5-7

Now according to these verses Jesus thought it was better for us to have the Holy Spirit than for us to have his physical presence. Think about that for a second. This fact alone should tell us that Jesus intended the Holy Spirit to have an enormous influence in our lives.
I am trying to make a point here. You may have noticed that I have been speaking of the Holy Spirit quite a bit lately. I will be upfront and say that I think many Christians are not living their daily lives with complete reliance on the Holy Spirit, and therefore not experiencing the Christian life the way God intended. I am not trying to advocate speaking in tongues or miracles (though I am certainly not opposed to these things), I am simply trying to (with the Holy Spirit's help) inspire true God-powered revival. Please don't think that this kind of teaching is reserved only for those of the Charismatic following. I, like many of you, embrace Reformed Theology. What I am trying to do with these messages is give us all a deeper longing for the God that is in us, The Holy Spirit.
Do you agree that we all need a deeper daily reliance on the Holy Spirit? Do you earnestly seek the Holy Spirit?
Does this kind of teaching make you feel uneasy? If so, please pray and ask God for wisdom about all of this.
I may have said some challenging things here. I welcome and encourage any comments and questions.
With great love for all of you,
Charlie
