The Holy Spirit's Presence: Accessing God's Power by Acknowledging Our Weakness

This is from my freewrite about this book that I wrote yesterday on my private journaling site:

I just finished the AW Tozer Book called The Holy Spirit's Presence: Accessing God's Power by Acknowledging our Weakness by Caleb Sinclair, and A.W. Tozer.

I have no idea where I got this book from, but it has been sitting in my Kindle queue for a bit (since December 15), and I wanted something to listen to on a part of my walk. So, yesterday, I walked from the fairgrounds parking lot down Midge Cramer Path (RIP. He is my old landlord.) around the meadow and back to the path and down the SW Campus Way Path through the covered bridge and into campus. I turned off at 23rd to have a look at the Alpha Delta Pi house (my sorority house from 1978-1981 and now a Christian women's coop). Then I got to the Boys and Girl's Club where George picked me up and took me home from there. I did about 8 miles. It was lovely, and I got to within 30 pages of finishing this book. So, I finished it this morning.

The Holy Spirit was a perfect subject for me. I just read through the whole Bible, and the Spirit is mentioned quite a bit. Jesus was "led by the Spirit" to the temptation. The book of Acts is all about the Holy Spirit. 

I loved Tozer's take. I think we are afraid of the Holy Spirit and have relegated it to an inferior member of the Trinity, but it is equally important in the whole scheme of things. God is ONE. And part of that ONE is the Holy Spirit. 

I loved his strong scriptural stand, and I only underlined one thing:

Then I would say, 
cultivate the art of recognizing
the presence of the Spirit, 
every place, all the time.
The Holy Spirit of the Lord fills the world. p.120

Amen. So, as I walked outside for 2+ hours, I cultivated that art of recognizing that the Holy Spirit was present the whole time. 

It is a simple thing, but I think we are enticed by other ways of being.
