The Holy Spirit

 Jesus promised His disciples that when He departed from this earth, His FATHER would send the Holy Spirit in the Name of Jesus Christ who would teach the disciples all things and would remind them of Jesus and all that He had told them.

And when we admit that we are sinners - repent, turn towards Jesus - believe in Jesus and confess this with our mouths, GOD sends the Holy Spirit in the Name of Jesus Christ to live in us.

The Holy Spirit convicts us to change our hearts and minds to live for Jesus.  No longer can we live as we lived before.  We need to see change in our lives.

No longer can we blaspheme.  No longer can we gossip.  No longer can we covert.  No longer can we be unforgiving.  Because the Holy Spirit tells us to be more and more like Jesus each and every day.

If we profess to be filled with the Holy Spirit and there is no noticeable difference in our behaviour and we continue to conform to the ways of the world, we simply do not have faith.  Our belief is dead and our faith is dead.

We can measure the work of the Holy Spirit by our changing lives.  We become avid speakers for GOD and for Jesus.  We want to spread the good news.  Other people notice that we are becoming more faithful in our walk with the Lord.  

So let us examine ourselves today.  Are we growing in our faith?  Are we wanting to spend more time in prayer with our FATHER in Heaven.  Do we get distressed by blasphemy and bad behaviour?

Then indeed, we are growing in our faith.  So let us today ask GOD to continually fill us with the Holy Spirit in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ - our Lord and our Saviour.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I humbly admit that I am a sinner.  FATHER forgive me as I forgive those who sin against me.  FATHER I believe in Jesus Christ, my Redeemer.  I confess this truth with my mouth.  Tonight, FATHER, fill me up with the Holy Spirit in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Teach me Jesus to be a better person and to be a better Christian.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!
