1 John 4:8-9 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us:He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 1 John 4:12-13 12 No One Has Ever Seen God; But If We Love One Another, God Lives In Us And His Love Is Made Complete In Us.13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. God Is Love His Love Was Demonstrated When He Gave Jesus To Die On The Cross For The Sins Of Man, The Sins Of Every Man! The Holy Spirit is like Jesus, He loves the whole world He is for all people.Wherever you go in the world He is there.He will display His power wherever he is welcomed. God will never force Himself on anyone. He will only come where He is welcomed. God the Holy Spirit is attracted to worshippers. The Holy Spirit in you draws you to worship the father. John 4:23-24 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." It Is The Nature Of The Holy Spirit, His Personality, Not To Receive Any Glory, Attention Or Credit For What Happens When We Glorify The Father And His Son Jesus. He Is The Agent That Manifests The Power And Demonstrates The Miraculous Works Of Almighty God Through The Body Of Christ With No Attention Brought To Himself.In The Same Manner, When The Power Of God Is Manifested Through The Body Of Christ By The Holy Spirit, Neither Does The Body Of Christ Call Attention To Itself. All The Glory, All The Honor, All The Praise Is Directed To The Father. Jesus said in John 14:13-14... 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. 1 Corinthians 2 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. 6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"— 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: 16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ. This Work Of The Holy Spirit To See Into And Know The Wisdom And Secret Things Of God Has Been Freely Given To Us By God And Works In Us By The Holy Spirit. John 16:12-15 12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you. He is THE Spirit of Truth You will never find real truth unless you find it through THE Holy Spirit. In John 16 Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit as a person 13 times. The Person Of The Holy Spirit Is Not A Truth Stretched Beyond Its Dimensions The Holy Spirit Is Not The Result Of Man’s Over Exaggerated Mind At Work. The Holy Spirit is not a conclusion drawn by a panel of highly educated theologians who have stripped away the reality of His power and work within the believer, and reduced Him to a doctrine that fits their unbelief! The Holy Spirit Is Not The Fruit Of Irrational, Uneducated, Unbalanced, Misled Theological Misfits Either! Man In His Lack Of Understanding And Lack Of Study Of The Bible Has Totally Misrepresented The Holy Spirit. Man has taken the subject of the Holy Spirit from one extreme to another. He has been belittled down to an impersonal “it” and exalted to be higher than the Father or the Son. And everything in between. He Has Come To Guide You Into All Truth Of The Word Of God And To Bring Glory To Father God. He has come to manifest the power of God and to convict the world of sin and draw all men to the Lord for salvation. John 16:8 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment If He is not in his proper place He cannot do these things. Only THE Spirit of truth can speak the truth and disclose the condition of a human’s heart. The sin that is hidden away within the spirit of man is invisible to any human being, but it is completely illuminated to THE Spirit of Truth. He will not lie to you. When He convicts you of sin, it is because there is sin there.He does this not just to expose the sin, He convicts to bring salvation. He Is The Third Person Of The Trinity, Father, Son And Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Does His Work Because Of The Tremendous Love That God The Father And God The Son Have Poured Out On Man. The Holy Spirit Is Ever Working To Connect Man To God So Man Can Enjoy All God Has For Him. Comments are closed.
