As I watched dozens of tree branches in my backyard being moved by the wind, I thought about how beautiful it would be if people would allow God the Holy Spirit to move their heart and continually lead them to take the action of obeying His inner promptings. (Romans 8:14) That would begin to bring about the joyful kingdom of God both within them and around them. The answers to life are blowing in the inner wind of God’s Spirit.
Always seeking first to be led by God the Holy Spirit (surrendering to the inner kingdom/government of God the Father) brings astonishing purpose, meaning, and fulfillment to life. It makes your life like a glass perfume jar. God’s peace radiates from your pain and brokenness and releases a sweet aroma that anoints others with an astute awareness of the beautiful presence and reality of the resurrected Jesus Christ — God the Son.
Notice and obey the inner promptings of God the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:14) It makes Him sad (Ephesians 4:30) when you ignore or resist Him. (1 Thessalonians 5:19) Consistently obeying the inner voice of God the Spirit (Revelation 3:20-22) — Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27) — will cause you to overflow with Spirit-produced righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17) and all the rest of the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23) God the Father’s joyous and glorious kingdom will come within you when you begin to listen to His Spirit and to do His will on earth as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:10)
