 Be filled with the Spirit - Chambers

"'Be filled with the Spirit,' says Paul. We have all seen the seashore when the tide is out, with all its separate pools; how are those pools to be made one? By digging channels between them? No, wait till the tide comes in, and where are the pools? Absolutely lost, merged in one tremendous floodtide. That is exactly what happens when Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Let people be filled with the Holy Spirit and you have the ideal of what the New Testament means by the church. The church is a separated band of people who are united to God by the regenerating power of the Spirit, and the bedrock of membership in the church is that we know who Jesus is by a personal revelation of Him." - Oswald Chambers

Yes Amen!!

Especially...
“and the bedrock of membership in the church is that we know who Jesus is by a personal revelation of Him.”

Brother Chambers words almost always find a familiar place in my heart:)

 Re:

Ah yes, this thread is of utmost refreshment tonight! :-)

Thank you dear heart song!

Reminded me of this lovely passage:

There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call-one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. - Ephesians 4:4-6

 Re:

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us (Eph 2:12-14)

The Lord is an incoming tide, when the ocean rushes in then that which separates and keeps apart becomes one. Every revival was an incoming tide. If we desire to keep to our separate pools we would never truly want the tide to rise. Yet, in the end, nothing can stop the sea from rushing in. It is interesting that since there was no punctuation in Hebrew then this these verses.............

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD (Isa 59:19-20)

could read " When the enemy comes in.............like a flood the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him."

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:(Eph 4:13)
