Do you know the Holy Spirit?


Monday December 3 2012:

Genesis 1:2. “The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over it’s surface.”

The Spirit of God has always been,  just as God is;  so is the Spirit.

He is the third person of the Triune Godhead (Matt. 28:19)

The Old Testament richly alludes or prepares us for the revelation of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament.

The Spirit was active in creating life as we know it on earth.  The Spirit endows the people of God in the Old Testament, as some Judges (Judges 3:10) King David (1 Samuel 16:13)  and especially those who were in the Messianic line (Isaiah 11:2, 42:1, 48:16)  The old testament points toward the messianic day as a special enjoyment of the Spirit of God. (Isaiah 32:5 and 44:3)

We can embrace the Holy Spirit and invite his presence into our life to indwell us and equip us with the strength, wisdom and courage we need so that we can be all that God desires us to be.

Prayer for today:  Heavenly Father, Thank you for sending The Comforter, The Holy Spirit to be with us while Christ is with you.  I am so glad that you, in your wisdom, knew we would need someone to enable and equip us to have the courage to be witnesses for you and spread your gospel to those who are in need of it.  I invite you, Holy Spirit, to fill my heart with fullness so that I can be all that God intended me to be.  In Jesus name, Amen.
