How do we flow with and in the Holy Spirit?
Answer: In a nutshell—LOVE.
Problem: We all believe we are operating in love.
We may be granted the grace to feel the anointing through His gifts. For example, we can experience the fire of God, dancing in the Spirit as He moves our bodies, or praying in tongues. We can feel the tangible presence of the anointing as our bodies react. However, these are merely tastes of what one can fully feast upon.
The fullness of the Holy Spirit is not like the fleeting joy or happiness that the world offers to the carnal mind. It is an internal experience—a joy rooted in peace and gentleness, bringing deep satisfaction to the soul. It is an indescribable experience for anyone who has yet to obtain such fullness. This is not to say that your pastors have fully attained it, but such inner joy becomes evident through a person’s great confidence in faith and assurance of salvation.
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable about three servants entrusted with talents. The first two, given five and two talents, doubled their profit and were rewarded by entering into His joy and feasting with Him. However, the third servant, who hid his single talent out of fear, was cast into darkness. While this darkness may ultimately refer to final judgment in hell, in this life, it can manifest as anxiety, depression, isolation, and chaos.
Hiding the one talent is not just about withholding or rejecting our calling or assignment—it also includes improperly disclosing the truth. The talent represents your story or testimony. However, instead of using it to glorify God and help others, we may twist, spin, withhold certain parts, or manipulate our stories to cover up past lies out of embarrassment and shame.
As the chapter continues, Jesus illustrates this lesson further by separating the sheep from the goats. The sheep asked, “Lord, when did we ever feed You, give You drink, or help You?” And Jesus responded, “When you did it for the least of these, you did it for Me.” Meanwhile, the goats asked, “When did we ever see You hungry, thirsty, or in need?” They were guilty of only helping those who could benefit their self-interest and ambitions. At first, helping the least may seem burdensome and yield no immediate return, but the true reward comes from Him.
Love invests in God by investing in the least—not for personal gain. When we receive the revelation of what it truly means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength—and to love our neighbors as ourselves—then we align with the Holy Spirit’s frequency.
Remember, our neighbor is not just the people we get along with easily. As Jesus taught in the parable, our neighbor includes those who may despise us and show no gratitude in return.

We cannot flow in lies but only in truth.
When the Bible says least, God means the helpless within His people and not necessarily the fetenyl addicts on the streets who dont really care too much for God. Your time, energy, and resources must be on His people, the lamb!
Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him. Then take care of His people was the reply.
Take care of people, the lamb (babies), beyond your own families, and grow up because it is a bit taxing changing diapers on an adult who is refusing to grow up
