經文: 「那靠著從天上差來的聖靈，傳福音給你們。」(聖經·彼得前書 1章12節錄)
基督耶穌教導我們上帝是天上的阿爸父，祂樂意將天上的福份賞賜給地上的兒女們，主耶穌自己已被升上榮耀高天，聖經告訴我們，我們也和祂同坐高天上，聖靈也將屬天的愛、喜樂與能力澆灌在我們心中。
那些心靈真正被聖靈充滿的人，必定有屬天的新生命在他們裡面。他們與天上的聖父聖子同行對談，過著在地如天的生活；他們思念的也是上面的事，因為他們的生命是藏在耶穌基督裡。他們的特色就是關心天國的事，愛人的靈魂，生命活出對永生有盼望的篤定與把握。
我們要如何培養這種屬天的性情？就是讓聖靈在你心中作工，讓祂在你生命中結出聖靈的果子，聖靈會每天提昇你的心，讓你每天更親近上帝，每天更學習住在祂的愛中，聖靈也將榮耀的耶穌顯現在你心，讓你更享受祂的同在。
喔！親愛的弟兄姐妺們，每天撥出時間來親近上帝，從祂那兒領受聖靈的教導，讓我們不愛這世界，只單單地專心愛天父上帝。親愛的，這不是不可能的，我們騰出時間給上帝，聖靈自然作成祂那一部份；我們只要單單降服在祂面前，我們就會感受到那說不出來的榮光與喜樂在心中，活出一種讓人羨慕的生活，這種滿溢出來的喜樂，也教人不得不與人分享這內在的快樂生活，叫人同得這福音的好處。

『 The Spirit from Heaven 』
Scripture: “Them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven.” — (1 Peter 1:12)
Christ has taught us to think of God as our own Father in heaven, who is ready to bestow His blessings on His children on earth. Our Lord Himself was taken up into the glory of heaven, and we are told that we are seated with Him in the heavenly places in Christ. The Holy Spirit comes to us from heaven to pour into our hearts all the light, and the love, and the joy, and the power of heaven.
Those who are truly filled with the Spirit have a heavenly life in themselves. Their walk and conversation are in heaven. They are in daily fellowship with the Father and with the Son. They seek the things that are above, for their life is hid with Christ in God. Their chief characteristic is heavenly-mindedness. They carry about with them the marks of their eternal, heavenly destiny.
How can one cultivate this heavenly disposition ? By allowing the Holy Spirit, sent from heaven, to do His heavenly work in our hearts, and to bring to ripeness in our souls the fruits of the Spirit which grow in the Paradise of God. The Spirit will raise our hearts daily to fellowship with God in heaven, and will teach us to dwell in the heavenlies with Him. The Spirit makes the glorified Christ in heaven present in our hearts, and teaches us to dwell in His abiding presence.
O Christian, take time each day to receive from the Father the continual guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let Him overcome the world for you, and strengthen you as a child of heaven to walk daily with your God and with the Lord Jesus. Do not be unbelieving. The Holy Spirit will do His part, if you in faith surrender yourself to His control. You will learn to speak to others with such heavenly joy that you will draw them, too, to give ; themselves to the leading of the Spirit, and to walk in the heavenly joy of Christ’s love.
