The Holy Spirit by yommyuk: 5:39pm On Mar 26, 2015
THE HOLY SPIRIT

Salvation occurs when we trust Jesus as our Saviour. He forgives us, transforms us, and sees us as righteous. In that moment, we are redeemed, and though we will continue to struggle with sin, it is a defeated foe. Then as time goes on, our service, gifts, and love for God should naturally become greater.

Unfortunately, a lot of Christians sit in church week after week, going through the motions yet lacking passion and failing to grow. How is that possible? Tragically, many believers are unaware of the essential ministry of God’s Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity and co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. The opening chapter of John tells us that He existed before the formation of the earth and participated in creation (Gen. 1:2, 26). Today, He has the critical role of helping and counselling all believers.

The Holy Spirit is a gift to every child of God. His presence within us isn't something we have to earn. Rather, it is a marvellous privilege—by indwelling our hearts, He can strengthen and steer each believer away from danger and into truth (John 16:7-cool. Scripture tells us that Jesus came so we could experience a full life ( John10:10). This is possible only when we listen to His Spirit and obey.

Are you experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised? He wasn't talking about happy circumstances but, rather, the joy possible through a relationship with Him. If you’re lacking in this area, consider your understanding of the Holy Spirit, and pray to be in tune with His promptings.

John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Cor 2:13
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
Matthew 5:6
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
