Greetings and blessings to all of you. The Holy Spirit is needed. He is the source of our power. He is the source of power who meets our need to escape from the miserable weakness that grips us. He gives us the power to manifest the fruit of the Spirit that we need in daily life. All nine of them….peace, joy, love, gentleness, goodness, kindness, self-control, faithfulness, and patience.We need these in order to communicate effectively in order to relate to each other from the head to the heart. This is the saints “love language.” The Holy Spirit was given to us as a gift. (2Cor. 9:15) The Holy Spirit was promised to us. In John 16:5-7 the Word reads, “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you have ask me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” “And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-4) God keeps His promises. This is the good news; we are no longer waiting for the Holy Spirit. He is waiting for us to receive, surrender and act on our belief so we can begin our journey on a continuous path of change into the likeness of Christ. We have been living in a revolutionary, changing world. The secularist wants to be referred to as progressives. Technology is their god. They believe they can create an entirely new human race. Called the science of transhumanism it encourages the use of AI to push mankind towards something ‘more than human.’ The Christian need the Trinity (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit) to change us from our fleshly self to our true spiritual selves… to be Born Again. These natural people devoid of the Spirit want the Garden of Eden without God. They believe with the advancement of technology they can make it happen. The Devil is on his job! But we know better. We know that since we received the Holy Spirit, we will let Him live His life in us…it called the sanctifying process. God lives in us the Hope of Glory! (Acts 5)
With the Love of Christ
