Holy Spirit is a person!

Holy Spirit is a person!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

II Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

The communion of the Holy Spirit is the key to success in the life of a believer. Without the Holy Spirit, its impossible to know and experience the love of the Father and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in an intimate way. Without the Holy Spirit, its impossible to live the Christ life and walk the Christ walk.

In having communion with the Holy Spirit, its important for us to know that the Holy Spirit is a person, who has a mind, will and emotions. The Holy Spirit is not a thing, He is not wind, oil, water or a dove. He is not an influence, a power or a force. He is a person who has power and influence. You cannot have communion with a thing, a substance or a force. The Holy Spirit has a will, I Corinthians 12:11 says, But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. He has emotions because He can be grieved, Ephesians 4.30 says, And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. He has a mind, Romans 8.27 says, Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the  will  of God. The Holy Spirit speaks, Acts 13.2 says, As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” All of these scriptures prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Holy Spirit is a person. Like you fellowship with your friends, fellowship with the Holy Spirit. This is the key to success. He is your Helper and He longs to help you in every area of your life. We need help, let's take His help.

Friend, befriend the Holy Spirit and develop a deep and intimate relationship with Him. As you grow in your relationship with the Holy Spirit, you will begin to experience His power in every area of your life. Spiritual things will become real to you, the word becomes alive and prayer becomes lively. Your love for Jesus will grow immensely because the Holy Spirit always magnifies and glorifies Jesus Christ. Walk with the Holy Spirit, Go on with Jesus!
