Jesus promised that he wouldn’t leave you alone to live the Christian Life he promised to send a personal and able helper I am telling you these things now while I’m still with you when the father sends the advocate as my representative that is the holy spirit he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you that’s John 1425 and 26 if you’re thankful for the presence of the holy spirit in your life type I love you Holy Spirit in the comment section perhaps perhaps you’ve heard of him maybe in one way or another

you’ve seen him at work and it’s quite possible that you’ve even felt him even if you didn’t realize that it was he but whether you’re familiar or unfamiliar with him it’s my passion to tell you more about the precious Holy Spirit you see you received the Holy Spirit the very moment you were born again you were born again of the spirit Jesus answered very truly I tell you no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the spirit flesh gives birth to flesh but the spirit gives birth to Spirit you should not be

surprised at my saying You must be born again the wind blows wherever it pleases you hear it sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going so it is with everyone born of the spirit that’s John 35-8 everyone who belongs to Christ has the Holy Spirit he’s our distinguishing Mark you however are not in the realm of the flesh but in the realm of the spirit if indeed the spirit of God lives in you and if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ they do not belong to Christ that’s Romans chapter

88:9 you didn’t receive a portion of the Holy Spirit a baby Holy Spirit or the new convert Holy Spirit no when you believed on Jesus the Holy Spirit came to dwell within you in the fullness of his presence and power and if the spirit of him him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you that’s Romans 8:11 the holy spirit is not a badge of honor for only the spiritually Elite if ever there was such a group he’s not a

reward for the super spiritual he’s your only hope of ever being spiritual in fact not only could you not be spiritual without the Holy Spirit you wouldn’t even desire to be spiritual without the Holy Spirit he gives you not just the how to but also the want to I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you I will remove from you Your Heart of Stone and give you a heart of Flesh and I will put my spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws that’s Ezekiel 3626 and 27

so when I talk of surrendering to the Holy Spirit or becoming a friend of the Holy Spirit I’m not talking about receiving him but acknowledging and obeying him in so doing it’s not that you suddenly get the Holy Spirit but rather that you begin to cooperate with the holy spirit it’s not a matter of you getting more of the Holy Spirit but of the Holy Spirit getting more of you now there was a time when I didn’t know that the Holy Spirit could be known as a friend I had long imagined him to be like a Mist in the air or like a cloud
