In many religious circles, the “flow” of the Holy Spirit is treated as a rare, high-pressure event that only occurs after intense periods of toiling, fasting, or begging. We are often taught that we must “get into the presence” as if God is hiding behind a thick veil of our own performance. However, under the New Covenant, the veil has been rent. The Holy Spirit is not an occasional visitor; He is an abiding Resident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To let the Spirit flow through you naturally, you must move from a “seeking” mindset to a “yielding” mindset. You aren’t trying to pull something down from heaven; you are allowing something to flow out from your spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step to a natural flow is realizing that you are already full. Jesus said in John 7-38 (NKJV) that “out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” He did not say you would have a “trickle” or a “leaky faucet” based on your behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Holy Spirit is called the “Helper,” not the “Do-It-For-You-er.” He flows best when you stop trying to “force” a manifestation through your own willpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The greatest hindrance to the flow of the Spirit is sin-consciousness. If you feel “unclean” or “unworthy,” you will subconsciously “clamp down” on the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Holy Spirit does not usually move through “heavy” religious obligation. He moves through the “law of the Spirit of life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Letting the Holy Spirit flow through you is the most natural thing a new creation can do. It is only made difficult when we try to add the Law or human effort to the process. Stop trying to “pump” the well and start realizing the river is already at flood stage. You are a king and a priest, and the Spirit of God is your partner in reigning. Simply open your mouth, extend your hand, and trust that the River is ready to flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. Faith is not a feeling. Many times, the most powerful flow of the Spirit happens when you feel completely normal. You trust the Word more than your emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sin doesn’t change God’s presence in you, but it changes your awareness<\/em> of Him. When you focus on sin, you become “clogged” with guilt. The solution is to immediately declare your righteousness so the flow can resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Praying in the Spirit is the fastest way to stir up the indwelling gift. It bypasses your analytical mind and allows your spirit-man to communicate directly with the Father, activating the “rivers” within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n God is a Father, not a critic. He is pleased with your step of faith. If you “miss it,” you don’t lose the Spirit; you simply learn, adjust, and keep flowing. There is no condemnation for those in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article is part of a series answering difficult questions about grace and the New Covenant.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In many religious circles, the “flow” of the Holy Spirit is treated as a rare, high-pressure event that only occurs after intense periods of toiling, fasting, or begging.
