I was surprised
to hear Sandra articulate so clearly her experience with the Spirit of God. To encourage her, I commented:
“Amazing, this deeply
analytical and spiritual woman, who was also unbiased by orthodoxy, got ‘the
Spirit’ right. She worked hard to communicate what she experienced when she
read the Bible. ‘It’s not the Book that’s talking to me. It’s the Spirit in the
Book that’s talking to my spirit.’ She explained the biblical truth of ‘the
Spirit’. The Spirit is not a third person of the Godhead. ‘The holy Spirit of
God’ (Eph. 4:30) is God’s Spirit, which is holy. It is
Christ’s communion with us. ‘I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to
you.... He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth
Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and
will manifest Myself to him. ...and We will come unto him, and make Our abode
with him.’ (John 14:18,21,23). The Father and Son give Their
Spirit to the beseeching child whose dead spirit Christ has quickened. Jesus
said, ‘... that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’ (John 3:6), and He also
said, ‘It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.’ (John 6:63 ). Paul
wrote, ‘He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.’ (1Cor. 6:17). And the promise was, ‘A new heart
also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take
away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.’
(Eze. 36:26). Sandra was being born again and her
spirit heard Jesus’ Spirit encoded by the inspired concepts of the word of God.
The Holy Spirit is Jesus’ Spirit that is in the Father’s divine words of
righteousness, which Jesus speaks to our spirit when we read or hear His words,
or when we see or in some other way detect His character in His creation.”

She also said, “When it comes
to the Bible, I meet with Jesus; I met with the Christ.”
