“…cover with a covering…of my spirit…” Woe be to the person who doesn’t, says the Lord. Our lives are to be completely immersed—baptized, if you please—in the Spirit of God. We are born of the Spirit, therefore we are admonished to be filled with the Spirit; to live in the Spirit; to walk after the Spirit; to be led by the Spirit; and we are to manifest the fruit of the Spirit. Would I be stretching the point to say a Christian is to be constantly under the control and dominion of the Spirit of God?
There is as much difference in a life lived in the Spirit and one lived under law, as there is night and day. The Holy Spirit doesn’t want to be a part of our lives; He wants to be all it. Too many Christians are living their lives with portions of it outside the Divine “blanket.” Or, as Isaiah says, “For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
Only the Spirit’s covering can keep you warm.
