The place of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to - to glorify Christ, give us power to be Christ’s witnesses, to empower us to minister for Christ’s sake, to teach us all things about Jesus Christ, to lead us into all truth (and Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life).
We receive the indwelling of the Spirit upon our conversion, as a part of our new birth, but we also must seek after the baptsim of the Spirit. The “filling” of the Spirit - so that we are able to minister in His name. The Bible shows us that even Jesus’ public ministry did not start until He had been baptised with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:22). He says that He will give us the empowering presence of His Spirit if we ask ! We need to be asking for that empowering presence in our lives each and every day so that we may be lead in the path of righteousness. Then shall we have the ability to be His mouth and His hands and His feet to His body and to this lost generation.
Are you allowing the power of His Holy Spirit work in and through you this day ?
Acts 1:8 but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"
Acts 2:38‑39 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
"For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself."
