GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH PERSON OF HOLY SPIRIT, FOR THERE IS NO WAY TO RELATE WITH GOD WITHOUT HIM. JOHN:4:23-24: A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship {Him} in spirit and in truth (reality). HOLY SPIRIT IS SO VITAL IN OUR CHRISTIAN RACE TO THE EXTENT THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST MADE IT KNOWN TO US THE PURPOSE OF HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. JOHN:14:16-17: And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever--The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know {and} recognize Him. But you know {and} recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. HOLY SPIRIT IS ONE OF GODHEAD. HE IS CHRIST REVEALED AFTER HIS ASCENSION TO HEAVEN. John:14:26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. HOLY SPIRIT IS WHAT WILL LEAD US TO THE REAL TRUTH, AND THE REVELATION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. John:16:13-14: But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce {and} declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. He will honor {and} glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. WITHOUT HOLY SPIRIT IN A CHRISTIAN LIVES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FULFIL THE GREAT COMMISSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Acts:1:8 But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. Luke:24:49 And behold, I will send forth upon you what My Father has promised; but remain in the city [Jerusalem] until you are clothed with power from on high. THE MIGHTY MIRACLES SIGNS AND WOMDERS WILL ONLY COME TO FRUITION IN ANY BELIEVERS LIVES BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOT THROUGH RELIGION RUDIMENTS DOCTRINE TRADITION. ACTS:10:38 How God anointed {and} consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength {and} ability {and} power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed {and} oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him. JOHN:14:12 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOBODY COULD CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR. 1Cor:12:3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power {and} influence of the [Holy] Spirit of God can [ever] say, Jesus be cursed! And no one can [really] say, Jesus is [my] Lord, except by {and} under the power {and} influence of the Holy Spirit. THERE IS NO WAY TO SERVE THE LORD, OFFERED ANY PRAISE, SACRIFICE, OR WORSHIP TO THE THRICE HOLY GOD WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. PHIL:3:3 For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit {and} by the Spirit of God and exult {and} glory {and} pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence {or} dependence [on what we are] in the flesh {and} on outward privileges {and} physical advantages {and} external appearances-- OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COULD NOT OFFERED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD AS ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. Heb:9:14 How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works {and} lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God? THE SACRIFICE OF THE GENTILES WERE ONLY ACCEPTABLE TO THRICE HOLY GOD ONLY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. Rom:15:16 In making me a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. I act in the priestly service of the Gospel (the good news) of God, in order that the sacrificial offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable [to God], consecrated {and} made holy by the Holy Spirit. THE WORD OF GOD WILL NEVER COME ALIVE OR MADE KNOWN OR UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.1John:2:27 But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do]. WE WILL NEVER KNOW ALL WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US FREE OF CHARGE IN THE FINISHED WORK OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WITHOUT THE PERSON OF HOLY SPIRIT. 1Cor:2:9-14: But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. Yet to us God has unveiled {and} revealed them by {and} through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring {and} examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond mans scrutiny]. For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a mans thoughts except the mans own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize {and} comprehend {and} appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining {and} interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept {or} welcome {or} admit into his heart the gifts {and} teachings {and} revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned {and} estimated {and} appreciated. THE PERFECT LOVE, AND THE UNMERITED, AND UNDESERVED FAVOUR OF GOD WILL ONLY BE MADE MANIFEST IN OUR LIVES BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND NOT IN SELF EFFORTS PERFORMANCE. Rom:5:5 Such hope never disappoints {or} deludes {or} shames us, for Gods love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. ITS OUR BIRTHRIGHT AS A TRUE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN TO WALK AND SEE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES, BUT WE MUST ASK OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IN FAITH, BEFORE WE WILL SEE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Luke:11:9-13:So I say to you, Ask {and} keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek {and} keep on seeking and you shall find; knock {and} keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks {and} keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks {and} keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks {and} keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for {a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for} a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask {and} continue to ask Him! James:1:5 If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally {and} ungrudgingly, without reproaching {or} faultfinding, and it will be given him. A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A DEAD CHRISTIAN, BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO LIVE IN THE VICTORIOUS TRIUMPH WINNING AND OVERCAME LIVES CHRIST HAS ATTAINED FOR US.
