Holy Spirit Stuff (2)

Holy Spirit stuff destroys your individuality.
All the Holy Spirit is doing is making you stop taking yourself seriously.
To be spiritually minded means you never think about yourself.
Anything other than abandonment of self is carnally minded.
The Holy Spirit’s function is to make you of value to God.

Holy Spirit Stuff (1)

The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with you as an individual and everything to do with you as a member of the body of Christ.
