Now believe it or not, we need a tutor like the Holy Spirit because our minds and thinking are corrupt and it takes us a while to grasp and genuinely believe the truth about who we are in Christ. We are royal children of the Kingdom of God, but have spent our entire lives living in the slave quarters. Our thoughts and behavior won't change overnight, so prepare yourself for a journey. The Holy Spirit lives in us as a continuing abiding presence; patiently and lovingly teaching us who we are, how to think, speak and act accordingly.
Royalty such as Prince William and Prince Harry are taught how to walk, talk, sit, stand and eat in a manner consistent with who they are. Their every action, gesture and mannerism is designed to display authority. This is evident even at their mother's funeral. After Princess Diana died so tragically, her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, even as they stood weeping and mourning her death, nevertheless comported themselves as royalty just as they had been taught. Even in the midst of their tears, they never dropped their aura of authority.
One of the things that the Holy Spirit teaches us is how to stand in authority as true sons and daughters of God no matter what trouble or difficulties come into our lives. As royal children of our heavenly Father, we can take charge of our circumstances, rather than being a slave to them. We can live our daily lives in power and victory, rather than in weakness and defeat. All it takes is training, and the Holy Spirit is our teacher.
