Ephesians 1:13-14 “In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
The moment we hear and believe, we are given the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our salvation and things to come. It is God’s signature as in a signed contract, a guarantee of what is to come. The Holy Spirit is our little part of heaven for now. God did not leave us alone until we go to heaven for eternity. He left us the Holy Spirit, a part of Him.
Many do not know how to walk with the Holy Spirit. Plus, we want our own way. To take our own path. He is resisted (Acts 7:51).
The Holy Spirit is here for many reasons. He is to teach us (John 14:26). Do you pray before reading the scriptures and ask for understanding?
The Holy Spirit will guide us (Romans 8:14). He speaks (John 15:26; 2 Peter 1:21). He intercedes for us (Romans 8:26). The list goes on, but you must walk in the spirit. Think and understand how to move with Him.
One of the most beautiful things about the Holy Spirit, is when you worship God and he lets you know if it was accepted by God. Or when you sing praises, He fills you up with His spirit.
Oh Beloved, how He holds you when you are hurting, is so precious that you come to cherish those times. I do not know how people can go through life without His presence, without His arms around them. I saw many without the Spirit of God when I was at Children’s Hospital during my daughter’s battle with cancer. When she died, like many others there, the Holy Spirit gave me the peace I needed.
Do you have peace and guidance, through your journey while here on earth? Beloved, I pray that you have the GOD, who came to earth to be tortured and nailed to a cross to die for you and the bad things we all have done. He loves you so much. Who else would do that for you?
