"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in you body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:20)
God has given each of us an individual temperament and distinct characteristics. Therefore it is the office of the Holy Spirit to work out as He will the details in Christian experience. They will vary with the personality.
Certainly we can be sure of this: whenever a person truly meets God in faith and commitment to the gospel, he will have a consciousness and a sharp awareness of the details of that spiritual transaction. The experience may have been brief, but the results will be evident in the life of the person touched as long as he or she lives.
We can always trust the moving and the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our experiences. On the other hand, we cannot always trust our human leanings and our fleshly and carnal desires.
Are you sure you want to be possessed by a spirit other than your own? even though that spirit be the pure Spirit of God - even though He be wisdom personified, wisdom Himself? That Spirit, if He ever possesses you, will be the Lord of your life!
