Who is the Holy Spirit?

You are not alone in wondering who the Holy Spirit is
Written byGodLife
Have you ever wondered who the Holy Spirit is? You are not alone. Followers of John the Baptist had to admit, "We have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." (Acts 19:2).
So let’s look into God’s Word to find out some things about the Holy Spirit, and why this is such an important subject:

WHO is the Holy Spirit?

He is the Spirit of God and of Jesus Himself (Romans 8:9).John 16:13says, “He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth...”

WHAT does the Holy Spirit do?

The Holy Spirit comforts us (John 14:16); prays for us (Romans 8:26); and guides us to the truth (John 16:13). These are just a few things the Holy Spirit does for us.

WHERE is the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is everywhere (Psalm 139:7-8), yet lives right inside of us. “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God” (1 Corinthians 6:19 NLT)

WHY did the Holy Spirit come?

To bring glory to Christ and to give us the strength to spread His message everywhere: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

The Holy Spirit’s Power in Our Life

Galatians 5:16says, “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.”
Other religions tell us to live a certain way, but only Christians have the power to live God’s way: The Holy Spirit living inside us. How do we connect to this power?
  • You must want to be guided by the Spirit (Matthew 5:6)
  • Confess your sins (1 John 1:9)
  • Give every area of your life to God (Romans 12:1-2)
  • By faith, claim the Holy Spirit’s power, according to his Command (“be filled with the Spirit” -Ephesians 5:18) and his Promise (“when we ask according to His will, he hears us . . .” –1 John 5:14)
You could talk to God and say something like this:“Dear God, I need You. I’m sorry for all the wrong things I have done. I want you to help me. I know my sins are forgiven because you sent Jesus to die on the cross. Thank you for forgiving me. I want Jesus Christ to take control of my life. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit; give me Your wisdom and power to live a life that brings glory to you.”

Look to Jesus...

...to fill you with His Holy Spirit, giving you the strength to live a life that glorifies Him.

From Mrs Joyce Meyer USA TV Evangelist A GOOD WOMAN, MAKES A GOOD WIFE AND A GOOD WIFE BECOMES A GOOD MOTHER; A GOOD MOTHER GIVES BIRTH TO A GOOD CHILD. IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE EMULATE THESE STEPS BELLOW: 1). Never raise your voice for any reason to your husband. Its a sign of disrespect. 2). Don't expose your husband's weaknesses to your family and friends. It will bounce back at you. You are each other's keeper. 3). Never use attitudes and moods to communicate to your husband, you never know how your husband will interpret them. Defensive women don't have a happy home. 4). Never compare your husband to other men, you've no idea what their life is all about. If you attack his Ego, his Love for you will diminish. 5). Never ill treat your husband's friends because you don't like them, the person who's supposed to get rid of them is your husband. 6). Never forget that your husband married you, not your maid or anyone else. Do...

JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH

JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH Was Jesus born on December 25 – Christmas Day? History shows that December 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun. But could December 25 be the date of Christ’s birth? When was Jesus Christ born? Was Jesus born on December 25 – Christmas Day? A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 couldn’t be the date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primaryreasons: First, we know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8). Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According toCelebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks ...
