A prophecy came true
"Do not let your heart be troubled...I go to prepare a place for you...I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you." John 14:1, 16, 17. see 1 Cor. 6:19 WOW
Jesus sits at the right hand of His Father, Jesus "finished" what He came to do. He suffered and died for our sins, paid the debt in full, rose again, and went back to heaven and sat down. "When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high" Heb. 1:3. Why did He sit down? Understand this, He finished what He came to do! \
The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. Why? Ten days later, at Pentecost, God sent the Holy Spirit, as Jesus prophesied, to take up where He left off. He came to takeover the work of God on earth. Now, EVERY "born again" believer has the Holy Spirit living in him. "If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him" Rom. 8:9. O dear people this is one of the most important prophecies for us to understand and take hold of in our lives. Tragically, most believers are ignorant of or ignore the Holy Spirit and are missing the "fruit of the Spirit" Gal. 5:22 and "the power" of the Holy Spirit in their lives Acts 1:8.
The power of God for you
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses" Acts 1:8. The Holy Spirit gives us power to worship, work and witness for Christ. No excuse for us not do all three! The sad truth is most Christians still ask the Lord Jesus to do what God sent the Holy Spirit to do.
One example
We sing and say, "Just when I need Him most, Jesus is near to comfort and cheer." NO, He is sitting in heaven making intercession for us but the Holy Spirit is now our comforter and joy giver, Gal. 5:22. Most lack both because they are not "filled" (controlled) or "walking in the Spirit."
The dispensation of grace
Today, this church age, the age of grace, the Holy Spirit is the primary one of the Godhead at work on earth. The lost, the unbelievers, need to know what the Lord Jesus came to do, die for their sins to be their savior, and believe on the Lord Jesus and receive Him as their personal Savior. Believers must get to know what the Holy Spirit came to do and let Him do it in their lives. Let this soak in. Apply it! This is only the beginning of fantastic discoveries or prophecies. Stay with us. Get others in on it.
Prayer: Father, bless Your dear people and may we all see a demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the lives of our churches. In Jesus name
