The Third Person of the Trinity.



The Holy Spirit…
    Is certainly not a dove, or an “IT” as some people like to refer to Him.
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. Jesus Christ in John 14, called Him the helper, who is the Spirit of truth, whom the Father will send to come and guide us into all truth. He also points out that the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of us, and He is with us forever. Lord Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us, while the Holy Spirit is indwelling us on earth, teaching us about the Father and the Son. He enables us to do the will of the Father on earth. Romans 8:26 talks about how He helps us to pray the heart of God. We can do nothing of ourselves, unless the Holy Spirit of God in us helps us.
The Holy Spirit longs for us to relate with Him, He waits patiently for us to ask that He helps us with all that God has called us to do. Our best bet in fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives on this earth, is surrendering to the Holy Spirit, who knows the heart of God, and who can help us do His will. Let us get intimate with The Holy Spirit, He is very loving and gentle, He does not talk of Himself, He directs us to the Father. The more we begin to see the Holy Spirit as a person, and not an object or some wind, the better we are able to let Him lead us to the heart of the Father.
Here’s a C. S. Lewis illustration of the person of the Holy Spirit, which kind of sums up what I just penned down above;
“…If you think of the Father as something/ [a being] ‘out there’ , in front of you, and of the Son as someone standing at your side, helping you to pray, trying to turn you into another son, then you have to think of the third Person as something/ [being] inside you, or behind you.” (Mere Christianity, Chapter 4, Loc. 2237, Kindle version).


Prayer:
Sweet Holy Spirit of the living God, we honor you, gentle Spirit of Jesus we thank you for indwelling us, for helping us understand and do the will of God for our lives. We thank you for a teachable spirit, and for guiding us into all truth. Thank you for giving us the strength, and the right words to pray, when we sometimes don’t know what to say. Sometimes when we want to give in to our human flesh and strength, Holy Spirit you are always there to lift us up, we thank you for that.  And thank you for being with us always and forever. I love you sweet gentle Spirit. - Amen.

"...The Horrible Thing..."

Mark 13:14-23, Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11 “…Abomination that causes desolation…” or what Contemporary English Version calls “The Horrible Thing” We are at the beginning of trouble, God’s people need not fear, and we are being called upon now to be on our guard. The good thing is that, because of His chosen ones (true believers), this time of “the horrible things” has been shortened- it is only going to be for a little while. Our anchor should hold tightly on Jesus Christ in these last days. Our fight is not against flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12). If you have never thought to pray and study the word for yourself, this is the time to start now to do so. It’s not about memorizing scriptures (though it will be nice to); it’s about feeding your spirit man, because a time is coming when what you have on the inside will come handy. If you have been feeding your spirit, be sure that the Holy Spirit will help bring all of your downloads in your database to your remembrance, when needed (Mk...

The world awaits YOU!!!

“The whole creation waits breathless with anticipation for the revelation of God’s sons and daughters.”-Romans 8:19(CEB). Where are you, sons and daughters of the most high God, the world waits in [earnest] anticipation for your manifestation. I must bring to your awareness that now is the time for you to begin to shine forth in that which God has called you to. As the body of Christ, we need to mobilize, and come together to be able to fight against the enemy. One person cannot go at it alone, we all (the body of Christ) need each other, we need to come together in love, in one accord, with   one voice, and stop tearing each other down, as this is the only way we can be able to quieten   the enemy (devil) in his track. The devil understands the power of unity very well, so he will try every trick in his book to dissuade believers, by making them find fault in everyone, and everything in, and about the church. Do not be foolish or deceived, be mindful, and stand firm, t...

Does He Even Care?

Does He Even Care? When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Luke 7:13 Recommended Reading: Luke 7:11-17 Her tears blurred her vision. While we do not know if she saw Jesus, she did not reach out to Him: her son was dead and needed life. She knew Jesus was a healer but what could He do for her? In the midst of her grief, Jesus saw her and He had compassion. Instead of skipping to the happy end of this story, let’s stop here: Jesus had compassion.  This simple phrase is found throughout each of the Gospels. An integral part of Jesus’ character is His compassion. Sometimes we find it easier to pray for others than for ourselves. We subconsciously wonder, why would God help me? We forget Jesus’ compassion when we get stuck in this mindset. The life-changing truth is that Jesus is good and He encourages us to ask Him for help. He never ran from disease, death, or wretchedness. While we may not understan...
