UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF A SPIRITUAL CONNECTION TO AND WITH GOD

 
                                          Thessalonians 5:19
                                       Do not quench the Spirit
                                   ROMANS 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
                                     Romans 8:26
²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
                                     Romans 8:14-16
¹⁴ For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.^[a] And by him we cry, “Abba,^[b] Father.” ¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

2 Corinthians 3:17

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
                                    2 Corinthians 4:11
  For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body
 Corinthians 4:16-18T
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ¹⁸ So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal

                           FOR IN THE LAST DAYS SOME WILL NOT
                      BE CONNECTED TO GOD IN THE SPIRIT
                               Isaiah 30:1

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,
“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit,
That they may add sin to sin;

                      2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

 even him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰ and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved

                                  Revelation 16:14

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them for the battle of that great Day of God Almighty.
