Here's what you and I have that David didn't.
We have the Holy Spirit permanently living inside of us.
John 14, 17 says the Spirit is with you and will be in you.
Not visiting, not temporary, but permanently in you.
This is the spirit-led life
that Paul talks about in Romans 8.
The Holy Spirit leads us.
Your spirit is united with Christ
and responsive to the Holy Spirit.
And from that place of union with Christ,
you exercise authority, leadership over your soul and body.
You're not suppressing what you feel,
you're not being ruled by what you feel,
but you're bringing what you feel
under the leadership of the Spirit who lives in you.
