Fire - The Desire of the Holy Spirit

The Desire of the Holy Spirit . . . James 4:4-6

  1. The Living Scripture . . . James 4:5
  2. The Holy Spirit. . . Lives in Us . . .  James 4:5 NKJV
  3. When we Choose the World . . . James 4:4 MSG
  4. Humble Yourself . . . James 4:6 MSG

With all of this in mind, James 4:5 could be read this way:

"The Spirit who has come to settle down, make His home, and permanently dwell in us is moved by an all-consuming, ever-growing, passionate desire to possess us - and He is envious and filled with malice toward anything or anyone who tries to take His place in our lives."
