WHO
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
PART 2
The Holy Spirit is a gentleman; He longs to dwell in
you. He doesn’t enter your room until you invite Him. He is tender and He is
sensitive.
The Holy Spirit is a Person. His Presence is with us
at all times. He expects you to talk with Him each day.
How would you feel if you were sitting with a friend
and he ignores you?
You expect him to talk with you, and that’s the way
it is with The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is REAL and He desires your
fellowship. He wants to be your Teacher and Guide. But The Holy Spirit will
never promote Himself; He promotes Jesus. He gives the honor to The Lord. He is
The One Who glorifies Jesus. A person who knows the Presence of The Holy Spirit
will always glorify and magnify Jesus.
He is gentle, but He’s powerful.
He was The One Who gave Moses the Power to be the
deliverer of the children of Israel.
He was The Power in the life of Joshua.
He was the force behind the wind that divided the
Red Sea.
He was the Mighty Power that smashed the walls of
Jericho.
He was the Energy behind David’s stone when Goliath
fell.
The Holy Spirit was the Force in the life of Samuel,
in Elijah—and in Christ our Lord.
Jesus said as He began His ministry:
“The Spirit of The Lord is
upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath
sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of The Lord.
Luke 4:18-19 KJV
What was it in the life of the Apostle Paul that
gave him the Power to endure? And what was it in the life of Peter that even
his shadow would heal the sick? It was the touch of The Spirit.
It’s not your ability; it’s His ability in you.
The Spirit Of The Lord says, “Follow Me”. Hear My
Voice, and you will lead many to Christ”.
The Holy Spirit has an amazing way of leading you.
Even an unbeliever can sense the Power of The Holy
Spirit.
The greatest work of The Holy Spirit is not to lead you
into some Heavenly ecstasy on earth. That may happen, but His purpose is to
convict of sin and lead people to Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is such a lovely Person. He wants to
be your dearest friend, and He is waiting to bring you closer to Jesus. Christ
said, “…if I do not go away, The Helper will not come to you; but if I depart,
I will send Him to you.”
“But I tell you the Truth: It is for your good that I am going away.
Unless I go away, The Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send
Him to you”
John 16:7 NIV
He said, “The Holy Spirit will guide you into all Truth
and bring Glory to Me.”
“But when He, The Spirit Of
Truth, comes, He will guide you into all Truth. He will not speak on His own;
He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.
He will bring Glory to Me by taking from what is Mine
and making it known to you.”
John 16:13-14 NIV
And not only that—He will prepare you for the
Rapture.
The Holy Spirit is waiting. He wants you to begin a
new relationship with Him—person to Person.
It’s time to begin with Him.
You ask, “How do I begin?”
It’s really very simple. Start by saying, “Blessed
Holy Spirit, help me pray.” That’s exactly what He wants you to do. The Bible
says He prays for you “with groaning that cannot be uttered.”
When you begin with Him, you will feel your burden
being lifted. He becomes your prayer Partner Who will lead you straight to the
Throne of GOD.
