What does the Holy Spirit bring? As believers, we can't do anything without the power of God.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 - There is a diversity of gifts from God, but they all come through the Spirit of God for the development of the church to the glory of God.
Jude 1:24 - ' Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, ' (Read this in the Easy English version for further understanding.)
Jesus told the disciples that there will come a day where he would not be with them physically, but He would send someone to be with them - the Holy Spirit. While we may not be able to see the Holy Spirit, He is still with us. The promise of His presence is forever. We need the Holy Spirit and we can trust that He is with us. He will make sure we are going in the right direction and He will never fail.
God will always show up when You need Him because He has already always been there. The promises of God are yes and Amen. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof! He will work out all things for the good of those who love Him.
So we need to thank the Lord, always.
How do I know if I have the Holy Spirit? - You know the Holy Spirit is with you when you hear the voice of God and feel convicted in what you're doing and turn to go the right way. If you said "yes" to Jesus, then the Holy Spirit is promised to be within you. You know you have the Spirit of God when you can love people where they are.
John 14:15-17 ' “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. '
The Spirit is not only with you but dwells inside you!
1 Peter 1:5 'who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. '
Everyone has struggles, but God has the power to guard you through faith for your salvation. Do you believe God is still working on you and has the power to perfect His work in you?
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in this life to do the right things, say the right things and go the right way. Pray for His keeping power to hold you together.
Read Ephesians 1:1-14
'Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. '
Ephesians 1:1-14 The Holy Spirit is the keeping power that prevents us from doing what is wrong.
