Tori and I had gone to church to pray for healing over her heart. Her physician warned her that she was endanger of abruptly dying of a massive heart attack. Urgently we had come to church believing that a miracle was her only hope of survival. We sat down in the sanctuary and I placed my hands more than her heart. A supernatural warmth flowed into our bodies and ignited my hands turning them red and hot. I felt a trembling within and abruptly I felt the Holy Spirit take up residence inside my body. The Spirit came lovingly and created a healing power that flowed inside Tori’s physique putting her heart into remission.
Through the years I’ve recalled numerous occasions the day I met the Spirit. It was a time when God’s will became my life goal. I wanted to understand my Heavenly Father and I actively pursued knowledge by means of my Bible and religious history books. I was changed into a distinct particular person who put God number a single in my life. In my pursuit to learn about God I study stories inside the Bible of how the He worked in people’s lives.
Luke 1:13-15:”But the angel said to him, ‘Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You might be to name him John. How glad and satisfied you’ll be, and how happy numerous other individuals will likely be when he is born! He will probably be a great man in the Lord’s sight. He must not drink any wine or robust drink. From his really birth he will probably be filled with all the Holy Spirit,'”
John was filled with the Spirit from birth since his ministry would proceed the coming of Jesus Christ. I discovered that the Spirit filled John around the inside and gave him messages from God to tell the individuals to make their lives much better.Folks had been cleansed from their sins by means of the ritual of baptism. And when Jesus came He was baptized just like everyone else.
Luke three: 21&22: “After all the people had been baptized, Jesus also was baptized. While He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit came down upon Him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you.'”
The Spirit came into Jesus’ life inside the form of a dove and the voice of God. Jesus immediately began His ministry. The power of the Holy Spirit gave Him the ability to heal the sick, cast out demons and to feed the hungry. It was a Spirit inside of ‘Jesus the man’ that taught people all about God and how to surrender their lives to Jesus as their Savior. Jesus talked several occasions during His ministry about the Holy Spirit and it’s purpose. He assured his disciples that when he left them they would never be alone, the Holy Spirit would come into their lives and live with them. The He would then teach them God’s will for their lives. The power of the Spirit would give them the ability to heal the sick and do even greater things than Jesus. Most of all the Holy Spirit would give them the strength to overcome the evil’s they would face within the world.
Acts 2:23: “Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each particular person there. They were all filled with all the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.”
The Holy Spirit revealed Himself in supernatural abilities to speak languages the disciples and their followers had never discovered. They had been languages of Praise to God. The Spirit came with a mission to aid the children of God. It was a mission that would help them win the battles Satan would fight against them. It was a ministry that would teach God’s children their life purpose. It was a new way of understanding grieving the holy spirit world.It was a understanding they would need to understand in order to win the battles against evil they would face within the world.
When you study the works of the Holy Spirit, you are amazed at how versatile He can be. Inside the Old Testament Moses experienced the Holy Spirit in the burning bush that spoke to him. Immediately Moses left everything he owned and went to Egypt to free Israel from slavery.He was given the power to perform mighty miracles before pharaoh that destroyed Egypt. Moses who was known to stutter became an excellent leader because the Spirit taught him what to say.Moses taught the Jewish folks the Laws God wanted them to understand. He led them into the Promised Land and gave them a home forever. His life became an example of what the Spirit can do when you surrender your life to God.
The Holy Spirit has shown even a sense of humor when He stopped Balaam a prophet from cursing Israel. He entered into his donkey and it spoke to Balaam like a man, stopping the prophet from his madness. Samson encountered the Holy Spirit via his hair. He was the strongest man alive but when his hair was cut the Spirit left too. David met the Spirit when Elijah anointed him with oil when he was only fourteen years old. David was given the power to slay Goliath the philistine giant with a small stone. He became the greatest king of Israel, because the Holy Spirit made him robust and gave him victory over the enemies of Israel.
It has been more than twenty-five years since the Holy Spirit entered into my life. The Spirit has stayed with me as I have faced countless battles that taught me valuable lessons of what is right and what is wrong in our world. I cherish and love the Holy Spirit. He has given me supernatural strength and a determination to do what is right even when the world says I am wrong. The Spirit is my best friend. He has rescued me just in time when it seemed there was no hope. Ask Jesus to let the Him come into your life. The Spirit will change you from the inside out and change you into a far better person.
Who is the Holy Spirit? He is God the father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all wrapped up in one. When God is in your life nothing you face in this world is too hard for you to accomplish. He will give you the power to overcome the hard things we will go via in the world. The Holy Spirit is God. Let Him in and He will change your life forever.
