Grace to build by Ivan Ho 27 May 2020   Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God, that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God. For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient— in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Some respond to stimuli in the soulish realm, things that appeal to their soul, things that touch their emotions. Mankind, whether we are aware of it or not, are primarily spirit beings, and our spirit can either respond to the Spirit of God or to demonic spirits. If we don’t know who is speaking to us, we will respond to the wrong kinds of spirits.
