Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a person

Equal to God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Holy Spirit is a person and completes the third part of the Holy Trinity. He has all the same attributes of God and that of deity. The Holy Spirit is eternal, having neither beginning nor end. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient meaning He is all powerful, everywhere at the same time, and all-knowing.

Jesus stressed to His disciples the importance of the Holy Spirit and taught them Himself how important the Holy Spirit was to a Christian believer.

Here are some of qualities the Holy Spirit possesses: He has intellect, emotions, and will. He also speaks (Acts 13:2), intercedes (Romans 8:26), testifies (John 15:26), guides (John 16:13), commands (Acts 16:6, 7), appoints (Acts 20:28), leads (Romans 8:14), and reproves and convicts of sin (John 16:8). He can be lied to and tested (Acts 5:3, 4 and 9), resisted (Acts 7:51), grieved (Ephesians 4:30), and blasphemed (Matthew 12:31).

Shamefully, many today minimize the personage and importance of the Holy Spirit and only whisper in close circles His glorious name. He is also known as; the Holy Ghost who’s other name is many times avoided by some for reasons of maybe sounding too spiritual? I ask; why should we not want to sound, or appear to be too spiritual? Whose opinion of us matters most, mans’ or God’s? No contest here!

Jesus, before ascending to heaven, spoke to those who had gathered before Him telling them the Promise of the Father, (Holy Spirit) would soon come upon them. He told them as He had been baptized with water by John, they would soon be baptized with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5). True believers in Christ are therefore filled with the Holy Spirit, as promised, and He (the Spirit) teaches us how and what to pray, as well as equipping us for service with Christ. We are blessed to proclaim we have the Holy Spirit within us.

”Lord, we thank You for Your Holy Spirit, and we now ask that you allow Him to enrich our lives.”

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
