Holy Spirit, from Mom

Mom did a little studying on the Holy Spirit.  Funny, His name and His work in us is popping up a lot lately....God visits!  Love it.  There is a lot of ground to cover here so I will split it into two or three entries.

*The Holy Spirit is the third party of the Trinity.
1)  Who draws us to Christ
2)  Who convicts us of sin.
3)  Who enables us to accept Jesus as as our personal Savior
4)  Who assures us of salvation.
5)  Who enables us to live the victorious life
6)  Who helps us understand the Bible
7)  Who helps us pray according to God's will
8)  Who helps us to share Christ with others.

The Holy Spirit empowers and equips us with whatever we need to accomplish God's plans for us as well as to handle our present situation.

*Taken from the "Spirit Filled Life Bible"  Word Wealth- Romans 7:6

Romans 7:6  But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power.  No we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.

Romans 8:26-27  And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.  For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for.  but the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.  And thee Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.

The Spirit helps.  We do not know what we should pray for.  The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings.  He searches our hearts.

The Holy Spirit takes our prayers, those sighs, groans, loud cries, tears and other expressions of our heart and adds His own wisdom and knowledge to make effectual intercession on our behalf before God.  In prayer, the Holy Spirit brings our petitions to Jesus who then lays them before our heavenly
The Holy Spirit communicates the Father's message to us.

1 Corinthians 2:13  When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom.  Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths.

Lord, I don't know how to pray.

2 Corinthians 3:6  He has enabled us to be ministers of His new covenant.  This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit.  The old written covenant ends in death, but under the new covenant, the  Spirit gives life.  

The Holy Spirit is the power.  The Holy Spirit makes it real--the present and future provision of our salvation in Christ.  The Holy Spirit gives life.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18  But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  For the Lord is the  Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.  And the Lord--who is the Spirit--makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.  

The Holy Spirit changes our way of living by opening our eyes to a living reality.

From me.

Prayer.  Intercession.  One of the many blessings the Holy Spirit brings to our life.  So many times there are no words, only tears, only sighs and silent heartache.  He hears, He knows, He intercedes. What a beautiful blessing.  We don't need fancy words or even complete sentences to be heard.   The sweet Holy Spirit unveils our hearts and eyes that we may know and understand the things of God. He works in us to do the Father's work that we may reflect the glory of the God.  I'm thinking the Holy Spirit is a very busy being!!  Talk about multi-tasking, He's the master!!

Thank You Lord for the blessing of the Holy Spirit.  I cannot imagine life with our Him in me, by my side, with me always.

Pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit today!
