The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God who works in and through Christian believers. It is not merely a power that comes and goes; it is a presence that lives within you, guiding, helping, and instructing you on how to pray.
When Jesus was with his disciples, he said, “When I go to the Heavenly Father, I will give you my Spirit that dwells in you. John 14:16
The Bible States that things that are not seen by men don’t come to mind and heart and are never heard by ear are the things god has prepared for his loved ones, but the spirit of God has revealed to his people (1 Corinthians 2:9-11)
This means the spirit of God tells you what God wants you to become and do for your Future
Suppose you wanted to become a doctor, but in God’s heart, he wanted to become a business. It doesn’t mean you won’t be successful if you go against God’s will. You might be, but you never become contented
Jesus calls the holy spirit Parakeletoos, which are often translated as “Advisor “or “Counselor,” “helper, “guider
*Holy Spirit as an “Advisor or Counselor”
If you received the holy spirit by being baptized and believing in Jesus Christ as a Savior who continues to live inside you, the Spirit must give you advice and counseling. I know a pastor who was facing financial instability and debt despite giving. The spirit of God told him to increase his tithing and open a site Business; today, that same business flourishing reaches millions
The best counselor’s given advice failed, but not the holy spirit
*Holy Spirit as a ” Helper”
We must face the test as Christians and believers, but it closes us to our testimony. If there’s no test, there would be no testimony. The holy spirit helped to pass the test when Jesus Christ was tempted by the devil and he was hungry. After forty fasting, the devil told Jesus these stones to turn into bread ( Mathew 4:3)
The first temptation was about “saying” or “telling “and commanding, but Jesus Christ never said what the devil wanted him to say. After that, Jesus performed a miracle on five and two fishes. The food he made eats five thousand people
The thing in which you have not failed, you will receive the more immense blessings
Practical example
For example, suppose you are mistreated by your new Bose. You always do good, but he disrespects and insults you more often. You want to answer the Boss, but the holy spirit hinders you from saying anything. Then the other colleague misbehaves, which results in the Boss being fired, but he promotes you. This is how the holy spirit helps you in your test.
*Without the Holy Spirit, you say no to sin
The Bible states in Romans 8:13 By the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body
The deeds of the body refer to all the sinful pleasures that give you destruction. Supposed you are angry or have the urge to smoke, the holy spirit gives you the power to say “No ” to smoking and being angry
*Without the Holy Spirit, we can’t love Jesus
For God’s love has been poured into the heart through the Holy Spirit which has given to us ( Romans 5:5)
The twelve disciples saw Jesus doing so many wonders such as raising the dead, walking on water, giving the light to the blind, and making the lame walk despite these wonders when Jesus was arrested one disciple betrayed him the other one rejected him and the others ran away because at that time the holy spirit has not come. You cannot love God without the Holy Spirit.
*I encourage you to ask the Lord to fill you with the holy spirit.
*Because the Holy Spirit is your entry card to heaven ( Ephesians 1:13-14)
*You can’t live the Christian life actively and fulfill the calling or purpose of God in your life on earth without being filled with the holy spirit.
