I hope you are having a glorious day so far.
Guys, please don't be shy to leave a comment or two for me here so that I can get to know the amazing people that are learning together with me. It would really be cool to interact and fellowship.
Right, let's move right along shall we.
In TPOP 5 we were taught that it is critical to read The Word of God in order to gain The Highest Knowledge there is, The Knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. Also, we saw that it is best that we ask The Holy Spirit, the Writer of The Book to teach us about what He Wrote.
Now we need to put The Word and The Spirit together for the purpose of complete benefit.
We all know where to find a Bible and so getting The Word isn't that big a deal. Just grab The Holy Bible.
When Jesus Christ left the disciples in Acts chapter 1, He said this to them just before being taken up,
" Verse 8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea,
and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Also, Luke 24:49 says,
"And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
Here we see that The Holy Ghost is actually a Gift promised by The Father and His Son and we therefore need only to accept Him into our lives.
The Holy Spirit is a Teacher as we heard in TPOP 5 and so He would have to be a Person Who walks with us on a daily basis. In order for us to move into a clear understanding of how He Works, we must realize this first.
So we need to do something very important. Anyone you want to meet or get to know has this advantage, you have a desire to do this. That desire determines the intensity you will have and the time you will spend trying to get or keep this person in your life. If our desire to get to know The Holy Spirit is there and great enough, moving forward is easy.
Here it is...
The Holy Spirit is a Gift from The Father and based on His Purpose here on earth, we need to make Him a Friend Who is with us everywhere we go, especially when we want to understand the Ways of God and how they should inform our lives. So He is just like someone you meet who you want to know a little better, and your desire defines just how much you do.
