Intimate Fellowship


Some of my thoughts that were shared today in my teaching at the Brengle Institute:

For Samuel Logan Brengle, holiness consisted in being transformed into the image of Christ by the power of the Spirit.

“When He baptizes us with the Holy Spirit, that holy of holies within us is then occupied and out from that center of our being His life radiates through all our affections, disposition, tempers and activities” (Brengle - from Sanctified Sanity pg. 105).

The indwelling Holy Spirit (as Holy Guest) makes possible the intimate fellowship and communion with Jesus, which Brengle called “the secret of happiness and holiness”.

My thoughts: The idea of holiness needs to become more of our language today.  For whatever reasons, we tend to shun away from it.  If we can rest more on the thought how God greatly desires intimate fellowship with him and we are open to being drawn into the deep recesses of His tremendous love, holiness of heart will become more of our daily reality.

Amen Brother,
Our ministry must be out of the overflow of our fellowship with our Father. Finding out what pleases the Father and living as children of obedience. Holiness must work from the inside out, otherwise it is legalism. Having a form of godliness, but denying its' power.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!!!
