The Quickening

The King James bible says in 1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." Here the word spirit being spelled with a capital S signifies the Holy Spirit. The word quickened means the following : to live, exist, to enjoy life, to live anew, to recover, to be well, to make alive, to enliven, animate, to rebuild, as it is implied quicken pertains to life! Therefore the Holy Spirit is a quickening spirit, which brings or creates life in that which is dead. In Genesis, He took that which was void of life and filled it, including man. It is only by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit that our soul ( mind, will, and emotions ) can truly be reset to God like we where in the beginning of time. Our soul without God is like the dust of the earth. As the wind blows the dust is scattered all over the place. It has no foundation! God does not want our soul to be scattered like the dust by every wind of doctrine. When we yield to the Holy Spirit, He brings our dead soul to life with the true word of God. He is the Spirit of Truth! Gen. 119:25 says " My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word." Simply put, it means bring life to my soul by your word. Genesis 119 also says that the Holy Spirit quickens according to not just the Word of God, but also according to his Way, his Righteousness, his Loving kindness, and his Judgment. His word brings our soul to life. His way brings new life to our environment. (It is changed for the better.) His righteousness keeps the life of the new environment progressing. His loving kindness brings life to your spirit, soul, and body. This is now who you are. (You become animated.) His judgment gives life to what you do. Each time the Holy Spirit quickens us, we receive strength to keep going. So children of God yield yourself to the power of the Holy Spirit today and tap into what you need. It is your time, receive the power to finish!
