Who in the World is the Holy Spirit?

HE IS A WONDERFUL PERSON!

"I have yet many things to say unto you but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that will he speak and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it unto you" John 16:12-14.

Notice the 9 personal pronouns referring to the Holy Spirit. He is a very real person, just as real as the Lord Jesus. He has intellect, "knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit" Rom. 8:27. He has emotions, "and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God" Ephesians 4:30. He has will, "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will" 1 Cor. 12:13. He is not an "it" or "force" or "influence" but a very real Person. We need to get to know Him.

Remember, the Lord Jesus finished what He came to do, "He died for our sins, rose again, was seen of hundreds" 1 Cor.15:1-4 and that is the gospel which we MUST preach today. He went back to heaven and sat down. Ten days later He sent the Holy Spirit to take up where He left off. The Holy Spirit is the primary One doing the work of God on the earth, just as Jesus was the primary One at work in His day. This is vital for us to understand. There are over 30 things He does today for us believers! Wait til we see them and let Him do them in and through us!

It is AWESOME. It will transform your life.

Father, teach us all these wonderful things the Holy Spirit came to do for us and through us and help us to let Him do them to Your glory, in Jesus name.

YOU are loved by God and me, all because of Calvary, sumner

"Almost half our society is unchurched, and we Christians are not communicating with them; the people in that half will not come to us or to our programs, but they are reachable; we need to learn to bring Christ to them on their turf." - Jim Petersen
