ABUNDANT LIFE THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT LIVING
“WHY NOT BE UNCOMMON? # 4

Acts 10:15
“And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.”

John 10:10
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

God has designed that the saved person can be uncommon. Far too many Christians are common instead of uncommon.

What about the capabilities of the uncommon Spirit filled Christian? The human heart has a tremendous capacity for motives, desires, will, ambitions, and possessions. The capacity is so great that the entire world could never fill its longings, nor satisfy its desires. The prophet
Isaiah said, “The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?”(Isaiah 66:1) It certainly would take a great house to enclose God.

The capacity of the heart is so great and its longings so deep, that only a holy God whose throne is in heaven, and Whose footstool is this earth can fill and satisfy it fully. The Holy Spirit can take Christ and enthrone Him in the throne room of your heart. It is He that will fill, and control every desire, motive, ambition, and carry out God’s plan for your life. It is this purifying of the heart that affects the entire man. There will not only be a clean heart, but a clean mind, clean eyes, clean tongue, clean hands, clean feet, clean desires, clean motives and a clean ambition.

And such a cleansed person will become very uncommon indeed.
