"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14:16).
We often say that the Holy Spirit is God's greatest gift to the Church, but did you know that, in truth, the Holy Spirit is God's gift to all humanity? God said in Joel 2:28-29, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh...And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."
The apostle Peter re-echoed the same prophecy in Acts 2:16-18 after it had come to pass. Further in the 38th and 39th verses he said, "...receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Did you notice that? The gift of the Holy Spirit is for all and He's been poured out upon ALL flesh.
If you haven't received Him, you should do so right away. First, be sure that you've confessed Jesus as Lord of your life. If you're yet to do so, turn to the Prayer of Salvation on page 76 of this devotional, pray that prayer, meaning it with all your heart. Then, simply declare, "I receive the Holy Spirit and He lives in me from this day forward."
The Holy Spirit is not a wind, a force, or a feeling; He's the very personality of the Godhead at work in us. When Jesus ascended to Heaven, He sent us the Holy Spirit to live in us, to guide, strengthen, and empower us for the divine life. He's the One that makes Christianity real. Without Him, the Gospel would be mere words, but with Him, it's a living reality.
The Holy Spirit unveils Christ to you, teaches you the Word, and causes you to walk in the supernatural. He's the power of the God-head. With Him in your life, you have the dynamic ability to effect changes and live the transcendent life in Christ. He's your helper, your teacher, your strenthener, and your friend.
Appreciate and treasure His Person and ministry in your life above all else. Fellowship with Him in prayer, worship, and meditation on the Word, and His wisdom will guide you, His power will sustain you, and His glory will fill your life and be evident in all that you do.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the precious gift and blessing of the Holy Spirit; my teacher and my guide, the One who unveils to me the realities of the Kingdom and guides me in the path of glory and righteousness. I walk in wisdom, power, and victory; I'm strengthened, guided, and continually refreshed by the Holy Spirit in my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
