I hope you are all good!
Ok, let's do this.
In TPOP 6, it became quite clear that The Holy Spirit is a Gift from God but also a Person that we can get to know and can teach us The Word which He inspired. We also understood that we need to have a great desire to do this because without this desire, our attempt would be feeble.
- Remember that we are still in pursuit of purpose and we need to put the necessary building blocks together in order to get to our goal. Soon I will deliver a formula that I learnt regarding this pursuit, but later in the series.
Now, picture a lady who we will name Debrah, and a gentleman we will call Joshua. Now Joshua happens to hear about Debrah from friends and is told many things ranging from her exquisite beauty to her delightful walk and bubbly personality. Another however tells of her fowl temper and lack of manners, while yet another speaks of her highly as a friendly person.
Now Joshua has a bit of a problem because there are conflicting reports about this gorgeous woman and he wonders what to think of her. What do you suppose he should do?
I agree, he should go find out for himself what kind of a person she is and have his own experience that he can attest to when he describes her. I suppose that's only logical and sure enough, the man approaches cautiously. He greets her with half a smile and his salutation is returned with a full one. He finds out as he gets to know her over the next few weeks that she has actually been checking him out as well and had been waiting for the time he would speak.
His desire grew from just meeting her, to desiring the marriage union and whether days were dark or sunny, they both worked together to MAKE the relationship work. Well, today they've been married for 29 years.
Here it is...
We've all grown up to hear one or other thing about God, The Holy Spirit and whoever told us something may have spoken well or ill about Him. The tragedy would be allowing what we've heard to be the only basis of our knowledge. It's only fair and logical to get to know Him ourselves and have our own experience that we can attest to. Yes?
