Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts (2 Corinthians 1:22).
1 Corinthians 6:11 reveals something extraordinary about the new creation; it says, “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” I want you to notice the underlined word “sanctified”: it means you’ve been separated or set apart by the Spirit.
You’ve been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. That seal is a spiritual mark that identifies you as God’s own possession. In the realm of the spirit, you carry a divine signature. This Holy Spirit is also described as the earnest (the down payment or deposit) of our inheritance.
That means God has given you the Holy Spirit as proof that everything He promised in Christ is already yours. If He gave you His Spirit, He has given you access to everything else. The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is God saying, “You’re mine. You’re distinguished. You’re recognized in the heavens.” Angels see that mark. Demons recognize it. Hallelujah!
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 says, “Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” This separation is not one of isolation but of distinction. It means you have God’s approval, His authority, and His protection.
You’re set apart from sin, fear, sickness and poverty into a new life of righteousness, peace and dominion. You’re not like the world. You’re in Christ, and Christ is in you. His presence in you is your assurance of victory in this world and your guarantee of eternal glory: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Hallelujah! Live in the consciousness of this truth.
CONFESSION
I am sealed and separated by the Holy Spirit from sin, danger and death unto righteousness, peace, prosperity, victory, glory and immortality. I live in the consciousness of His presence, guidance and power. I’m distinguished for greatness and walk in the fullness of my inheritance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, [14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Romans 8:15-17 KJV
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
1 Corinthians 6:11 KJV
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
