Holy Spirit's Ministry

 

    The Holy Spirit's ministry is in believer and to motivate unbelievers to seek the truth.  He is our connection to God and Jesus.  The truest sign of a Christian is that the Holy Spirit dwells in them.  You cannot be a true Christian without the Holy Spirit living in your heart.  

    The secret ministry of the Holy Spirit is how he reveals truth to us.  He tells our soul things that are not of this world. He reveals the spiritual world to us.  One is how his presence seals a true Christian to have access to eternity with God in Heaven.  It is the seal of redemption.  It can't be altered or falsified.

    Do not grieve or stifle the Holy Spirit.  It grieves him to dishonor or reject Jesus.  He fills you with the himself.  He gives you freedom even if you are under persecution.  All he ask is that you stay in the relationship and not allow distractions to lead you away.  

    To be filled is to make room for the Holy Spirit.  That means that you recognize His domain and control in your life.  You confess and repent of your sinful nature.  You willingly surrender your will, thought process, talents, possessions, and desires to him.  

    You allow him to use what you have to make it better, but it does require dying to your selfish nature every day.  It can be a real internal battle at times, but the reward is more than you can imagine.  Your actions, words, and every other aspect of who you are is being transformed to be more like Jesus.  

    You start walking by the Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit are the good and holy things that your life will start producing.  They consist of love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and patience.  If your life does not exhibit at least one of these, then you really need to evaluate your relationship with the Holy Spirit. 

    The ministry of the Holy Spirit holds a great significance in a Christian's life.  He uses you to bring more people into the family.  He motivates you to keep your body a holy temple.  You realize that your life is not your own.  It was bought and belongs to God by Jesus' blood.  You understand that you are still on earth to glorify God by being holy and righteous with the help of the Holy Spirit.
