The Holy Spirit in our Lives Today
The Big Initiator
The Holy Spirit brings people to the point of decision about their need for salvation and God that has its origin beyond intellect or emotion.
This is called “conviction”, in which the Spirit of God is working with our human spirit to draw us toward God.
John
The Change Maker
The Holy Spirit brings miraculous transforming power into our lives.
We are changed immediately and eternally.
This called “regeneration” or “Being born again.
New family and ownership.
The Home maker over.
You get the use of a designer and construction crew who comes and totally re-makes your house and modifies it to meet the new demands and the new culture.
(internet, electronics-more power, space, colour, building codes and material.)
2 Corinthians 5:17
Regeneration does not make us perfect.
we are still stuck in our human bodies with many of our old weaknesses.
But the Holy Spirit empowers us to win over the old nature to a new pattern of Christ living.
The inside Source
The Holy Spirit comes to live inside us.
Maybe a still small voice, a nudge in God’s direction or the power to sustain the change in our lives.
Never the less the place of God presence has changed from the Old Testament “places of Worship” to the individual believer.
“Without the power of the Holy Spirit all human efforts, methods and plans are as futile as attempting to propel a boat by puffing on the sails with your own breath” - D.M Dawson

Romans
The Family Name
The Holy Spirit “Baptizes” all believers into the family of God.
“Baptism” means being publicly inducted, completely taken into a new identity or family.
We are accepted into the Body of Christ which the church our new faith family regardless race, education, gender or social position.
1 Corinthians
He is the Guarantee or Seal
Every believer is made a permanent member of the family of God by the Holy Spirit.
You could think of it as the super-glue of your salvation.
Christ has set his seal of ownership on you and has put the Holy Spirit as a deposit in your hearts as a guarantee of what is to come.
2 Corinthians
How does the Holy Spirit Work in our Daily Lives?
Our Spiritual Teacher
1 Corinthians 2:10-13
When we understand the spiritual truths of the scripture, the Holy Spirit is giving us the gift of “illumination”.
We see things plainly and in their right perspective.
He is our Worship Leader
Praise and worship of God does not often come without self-centered human strings attached.
But the Holy Spirit makes worship and prayer a natural outward expression of God’s New life in us.
Romans 8:26
John 4:23-
“The Spirit is our ever-present, ever-awake prayer partner (He never Needs coffee), the one who nudges our spirit awake to talk to God.
And when we don’t know what to think or pray the Spirit helps us out” - Bruce & Stan’s Guide to God :A user-Friendly Approach.
“The Holy Spirit was not given to make you rich; He was given to make you ready.” - Dan Betzer
The Nature Of Christ
As the Holy Spirit fills us, we become more like Chist in our values and character.
We take on the fruit of the Spirit as described by the Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians.
He is the Wisdom of God
Right decisions are determined by right thinking and the Holy Spirit can be a Christian’s personal guide to truth and discernment.
“Being alive to God means that God’s Holy Spirit dwells within us to strengthen and develop holiness in us” - Jerry Bridges
He is the Comfort From Heaven
The Holy Spirit is our Paraclete.
A paraclete is a comforter, an encourager, the one who comes along side.
In battle your paraclete protects your back.
The Bible does not promise us that the Christian’s life will be free of difficulties, but it does promise that the Holy Spirit will be “the Comforter” through those difficulties.
God reminds us of His power, love and sovereign control.
