It is so easy to think that the Holy Spirit is not a person, but as some godly influence or power. But He is not. He is God too. I know that we are not to worship the Holy Spirit, but without Him, we would never know Jesus or be able to understand the Word of God. He is our teacher and revealer of all truth. He always points us to Jesus. Without Him we would never have a relationship with our God.
We believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior.We accept the adoption of our Father as sons and daughters, but we so often neglect the importance of the Holy Spirit as a person too! Is He not the person who prays through us in agreement with Jesus in Heaven? Jesus sent Him from the Father to replace Himself on earth when He left to be at His Father's right hand. He did not want to leave His disciples as orphans. As His disciples today in 2019, the same is true. We are not orphans. The Holy Spirit's work continues among us.
Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me". How can we hear His voice except through the person of the Holy Spirit in us? The Holy Spirit is like the sheep dog that rounds up the sheep at the command of the Shepherd's whistle and herds them into a pen. He takes his orders from the Shepherd only.
Peter preached saying,"repent, be baptized, received the Holy Spirit.? Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? " We were baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, but have we ever acknowledge Him or allowed Him to baptize us in the power of His Love?
Let us not neglect to acknowledge Holy Spirit as an important person in the Godhead, and thank the Lord Jesus for sending Him to take His place. Through the Holy Spirit we will experience the presence of God, the fellowship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Throne room is open all the time. The blood of the lamb avails for us to enter in. Our born again spirits ignite with excitement and joy as we enter into fellowship with the God of this universe. Come let us worship our God together: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
