One may ask who is the Holy Spirit? He is the Spirit of truth. He’s God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each operation has many functions. The Holy Spirit is a person. When we talk about the Holy Spirit, we are actually talking about God and His Son, Jesus Christ. When Jesus ascended to Heaven He said He would not leave us comfortless, but He will send us another comforter or helper. If you have been born again, (given your life to Jesus) the Holy Spirit now dwells on the inside of you. He will lead and guide you by His Spirit. He will never leave you or forsake you; He’s with you all the time. The Holy Spirit came to complete us. The Holy Spirit enables us to know the truth and to live the truth. The Holy Spirit will convict us of our sins. And when we allow our lives to be control by the Holy Spirit we will have the power to live a life that is pleasing to God. In creation He was called the breath of God or the wind of God. The Holy Spirit is very sensitive and He will make us sensitive to the Word of God. The Holy Spirit will help us to do the Father’s Will for our lives if we listen and follow His leading. Romans 8:10-11 says And if Christ is in you your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you. Romans 8:14 says for as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. John 16:13 says Howbeit when He the Spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak and He will tell you things to come. The very presence of God Spirit lives on the inside of every born again believer and He is called the Holy Spirit. He is a person not an “it” He is more than just a mere influence He is the infinite God residing within our hearts. According to 2nd Corinthians 4:7 (World Wide English version) it reads, this is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power but it comes from God not from us. The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to us according to John 16:13-14. The Holy Spirit is a Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, and Standby (John 16:7). Paul said in 1st Corinthians 2:4-5… And my speech and preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. It is that power of the Holy Spirit that’s working on the inside of you that Paul is speaking of here. When you give the Holy Spirit free course to move in your life it is not about your ability (what you can do) or your intellect (how much you know) it is about being led by the Spirit of God. Romans 8:14 states, for as many are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. In order to be led by the Spirit of God you must know God. And that come by way of spending time in the presence of God. Developing an intimacy relationship with Him through the Word of God, Prayer, Praise, Worship, and Thanksgiving. The Holy Spirit is a Teacher. 1 John 2:27 states, But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him.
The Holy Spirit is so much more. However, the reason why many believers of God do not experience the power of the Spirit though He actually dwells in their hearts is that they lack reverence. We must trust the Holy Spirit the same way we trust Jesus the Son and God the Father. Because it is God’s desire for each believer to be filled with His Spirit to the fullness. The plans God has for your life can only be revealed through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2: 9-11). God has prepared things for you before the foundation of the world. And the Holy Spirit knows God’s plan for your life. Only through a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit will you discover all God has prepared for your life. No one knows the things that God has already prepared for those that love Him. It’s very vital for you to get to know the Holy Spirit for yourself. We thank God for your Pastor and those in leadership positions but your pastor cannot be replaced for the Holy Spirit. Spending personal time in His presence will grant you access to the Holy Spirit. You’ll be more in tune to hear His voice and follow His leading when you’re not sure about some things. Also, you must be careful not to grieve the Holy Spirit. For example, the Holy Spirit is grieved when He shows up to bless you or impart to you but He finds blessing blockers in your life. Such as un-forgiveness, strife, pride, fornication and so forth. These things are blessing blockers and will grieve the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit you are living another life. Without the Holy Spirit you are busy doing things you were not born to do. Without the Holy Spirit you are misusing time, talents, and gifts. The secrets about you is in the Holy Spirit. Only the Spirit can reveal the secrets about you. The Holy Spirit will reveal the revelation about you and who you were created to be. The Holy Spirit will tell you the truth about you even when you don’t won’t to hear the truth. In the Presence of the Holy Spirit you’ll find peace, joy, and happiness. I encourage you to get to know the Holy Spirit for He will be your best friend for life!
