Alright, thank you very much, nice to be put on the air with a friendly voice, and radio friends, how are you today? Are you doing alright? I trust so. I am just delighted for the privilege of sharing the Word of God with you, because it blesses me while I share it with you and so I’m just a little bit selfish, I must admit, in wanting, oh, just longing to get at these radio broadcasts, day by day with you and the Word of God. You never need to tell a person that he’s saved. Would you remember that? You never need to tell a person that he’s saved, God the Holy Spirit will do that. If you have to tell a person that he’s been saved there is some reasonable shadow of doubt as to whether anything has really happened in his life.

Notice Acts 15:8, “God which knoweth the hearts bore them the Gentiles witness giving them the Holy Ghost even as he did unto us.” Paul said, “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” So that the incoming of the Holy Spirit of God occurs at conversion. Now, the in filling of the Spirit of God may indeed be subsequent to your conversion, it may take some time until you are willing to open by faith every room in your heart house and allow the Holy Spirit of God to take control and thus arrive at that point where you can say with complete honesty, “I thank thee that thou hast filled me with thy Holy Spirit.” But the Spirit of God comes in to dwell in your life and to bear witness that you are a child of God, when you are saved, when you are converted, when you trust the Lord Jesus as your savior. Paul said that, “The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirits that we are the children of God and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. If so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. We’ve not received the spirit of bondage but the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, father.”

That word Abba is a biblical rendition of what we would call papa. Hubert Mitchell, my missionary friend, often says, “Papa God.” Abba Father. Now, the Holy Spirit comes in, you see, to do that for you and for me, to tell us that we belong, to tell us that we belong, isn’t that great? We have received not the spirit of the world but the spirit which is of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Paul says in another place, “God hath sent forth the spirit of his Son into our hearts crying, Abba, Father.” Oh, the spirit of belonging, the spirit of belonging, the Holy Spirit of God is given to you when you trust the Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 4:6 is the verse I was looking for, “Because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts crying, Abba, Father.” Papa God. Oh, to belong, to belong to the heavenly family, and to know God as my very own Heavenly Father, what a lovely, wonderful thing, that is. “And so God which knoweth the heart,” this is Acts 15:8, “Bore them,” the Gentiles, “Witness, giving them the Gentiles the Holy Ghost even as he did unto us, us Jews. And he put no difference between us and them purifying their hearts by faith.”
