John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
We can't Totally comprehend the works of the Holy Spirit without first referring to His personality. The relationship with the Holy Spirit goes deeper in a personal intimacy than what your pastor says about his. You must relate with Him personally. There are some sects that says all contrary opinion about the Holy Spirit, but the Bible established that the Holy Spirit is a person. Who can be hurt, lied to, and grieved. He can direct and Guide us in God's ways. When Jesus ascended, He send The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One in charge now. He is the Overseer of the Church of Christ. There are several ways the Holy Spirit reveal Himself in the Scriptures.
A. Dove.
Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
B. Fire
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
C. The Rain
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
D. The Promise Of the Father
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
E. The still small Voice
1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
****************
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The Holy Spirit is a person.
The Third Of Person Of The Trinity.
He is real as God the Father and God the Son. He is a personality. They are one. God the Father demonstrate the care when He said " My Spirit won't strive with man". The Lord Jesus said " Sin Against the Holy Spirit can't be forgiven". This shows how they care for one another. No one comes to the Father but through Christ. No one know Christ unless the Father brings the person to His Son. Without a proper understanding of who the Holy Spirit is, the Christian Life will go wavering. Without the Holy Spirit there can not be true Christianity. For we can't obey the word unless the Holy Spirit helps us to. He lives in the Believers. We can't do greater without the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus said this because, He knows another Person like Him is coming, in the person of the Holy Spirit to help us and do it well.
The work of the Holy Spirit can't be fully understand, until we understand that He's a person. Some thought the Holy Spirit is just a wind, a oil, a praying handkerchief.....No. He manifest through this means, He's real.
Kathryn Kulman said " The Holy Spirit is so real to me".
We can't do greater works, if we don't know Him, and cultivate a close relationship with Him. When we have this revelation, that is when we can allow Him to guide us. He will show us His plan for our lives.
He is God.
Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Before apostle say this, look at what he said.
Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?.
Holy Ghost.
He said, you have not lied to me but to the Holy Spirit- who is God. He's God. The Holy Spirit give understanding one day, He said, " when you are referring to God, you are mentioning the Trinity in unity, but when you say Father, or God the Son, you are referring each personality"
The Holy Spirit is the best friend you can ever
have in this world. He's my breath, I can do with Him. He wants to guide you, and help you overcome the challenges on your way, but you must relate with Him as a person who is close to you, since you have given your life to Christ. He wants to help you. He wants to reveal things and mysteries to you. He's more than a fire, He's a person.
The Lord Jesus when He was on Earth was being directed and led by the Holy Spirit. He depend on the Holy Spirit, so also we should.
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Finally.
It will be impossible to fulfill destiny without the Holy Spirit. He's in you. He wants to guide you. He said, "call onto ME Barnabas and Paul for the work I AM going to use them."
He is calling onto Himself today. Without Him a Christian Life will dry off. Today, let Him direct you.
Holy Spirit Of the Living God, have your way in Our lives. Draw us closer to you. We can't do anything without You. Help us to love you more, as you direct our steps. We want to be led by you.
Holy Spirit, great comforter.
Blessed?
