The indwelling presence of
the Holy Spirit is one of the greatest gifts you could ever have as a
Christian. If anyone knew the importance and ministry of the Holy Spirit in
man, it was Jesus. He said, “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 Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”
(Acts 1:8). That’s why He commanded the apostles not to depart from Jerusalem
but wait for the promise of the Father – He was referring to the Holy Ghost. He
wanted them to be imbued with power from on high so they could live the
supernatural life of the Kingdom and carry out His ministry.
There is no authentic
Christianity without the Holy Spirit. No one can live the victorious and
triumphant life in Christ without the Holy Spirit. Even your service to God
only becomes acceptable to Him when you render it through the Holy Spirit
(Romans 15:16, Hebrews 9:4).Therefore, learn to always honour the Spirit and
appreciate His presence in your life; never take it lightly. His presence is
the most important thing to you.
If you’re born again and yet
to receive the Holy Spirit, it’s time to do so. Say, “In the Name of Jesus
Christ, I receive the Holy Spirit right now, and I speak in other tongues as He
gives me utterance!” Now, go ahead and magnify God in other tongues. Praise
God!
