THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither know him: for he dwelleth with you
, and shall be in you. [John 14:16-18}.
The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit is one of the greatest gifts you could ever hace sa a Christian. This truth is even more profound when we recognize and take full advantage of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Just think about it:What in the world could you do for God all by yourself and in your own power? Nothing! The Father has more angels than there are people, and these angels are more powerful the humans {Psalm 8:4-5}. So, in a sense, He really doesn't need humans to help Him. However, He created us in His image and after His likeness so it would be possible for us to be filled with His Spirit. That's a blessing and a previllage angels don't have.
Your service to God becomes acceptable to Him when you render it through the Holy Spirit. Therefore learn to always honour The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. Never take it lightly; His presence is the most important thing to you. Remember, life is nothing without the Holy Spirit. When you get to know Him and fellowship with Him, your life take on a new meaning.
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit in my life. I recognize and acknowlege Him as the one you sent to guide me and lead me in the affairs of life {John 16:13;Ephesians 3:19; 1Corinthians 3:16}.
