Topic: Sin, Ego, And The In-dwelling Spirit

Not everyone is going to open Christ's spiritual door the same way. Not everyone is going to open the door fully. Some people will open Christ's door only a few inches wide, peek inside, and walk or run away. Some people will throw the door wide open and want and need a big, loud, and resounding experience. Some people will gently push the door open and they will experience His love in a quiet time while on their knees in loving devotion. Some people will stand at the door, never get it opened, and will fake it like they have fully experienced the Holy Spirit's full power. The problem is, a lot of power-seeking, ego-driven people (inside and outside of the church) want to set up a criteria to measure how much of the Holy Spirit, indwelling or not indwelling, is working in a person's life. Many people want to take a yardstick or a measuring cup and say, so to speak, "Hey Brother or Sister, you got forty-three units of the Holy Spirit!" The person doing the measuring places himself or herself above everyone else and acts as a judge. This idea or attempt at measuring how much of the Holy Spirit someone has is both ridiculous and ludicrous. It is human sin, and ego that cause a person to act as a judge of others in this way.
