Holy Spirit Presence

I used to freak out when I was a kid hearing the adults in church speak about the Holy Ghost. I knew the definition of a ghost and I really wasn’t interested. When I grew older and was introduced to the Holy Spirit, I realized that this was a lot different than “Ghostbusters” or weird little translucent being.

The Holy Spirit is the very Presence of God. It’s hard to explain if we don’t embrace the fact that there is a spiritual realm. A realm beyond our ability to see or hear. I like to think of it like radio waves or cell phone waves. What if I could see all the radio waves traveling invisibly through the air? My mind would be blown. They are there even though I can’t see them. I believe that the Holy Spirit of God dwells in the spirit realm and He is close by to those who have make Jesus Lord of their lives. Check this out…

¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 NIV)

The Holy Spirit is a game changer when I’m unsure or afraid. He is with me so I feel safe and confident that I can act on His behalf. He is the very essence and presence of Creator God but He dwells with me. Jesus said that He would leave the Comforter when He ascended to the Father.

The Holy Spirit reminds me of Grace.

The Holy Spirit pours out hope generously.

The Holy Spirit prompts me to give.

The Holy Spirit convicts me of sin.

The Holy Spirit empowers me with love.

The Holy Spirit breathes peace into my soul in times of trouble or struggle.

The Holy Spirit reveals deep facets of God to me as I walk with Him.

I can’t imagine walking with God without the Presence of the Holy Spirit.
