Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and His primary assignment on earth is to help sustain the salvation of Jesus Christ in our lives. Holy Spirit is a powerful being. You can receive the Holy Spirit into your own spirit by submitting your power of choice to God.
Apostle Peter explained further in the book of Act chapter 2 and verse 38: “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Your invitation to the Holy Spirit is the first step for Him to help you. I have realized in my life that it is impossible to live a holy lifestyle without the presence of the Holy Spirit in me. Thus, the Holy Spirit can help you in various ways:
1. Holy Spirit Exposes Secrets of Sin
You cannot stop sinning if the Holy Spirit is absent in your life. The presence of the Spirit of God in you will serve as a beam of light to expose all the darkness of life. He speaks to your heart to explain the bad implication of participating in any sinful action.
You can’t stop sinning by your own strength through attending a school of theology, or exhibiting the spiritual gifts such as; speaking in tongues. But the Holy Spirit can help you to live a sinless life when you allow Him to take charge of your spirit, soul and body.
People without the Holy Spirit normally do what is bad, and thought they are doing something good. Jesus says in John chapter 16 verses 7-9: “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin…”
2. Holy Spirit Teaches Righteousness
The Spirit of God is the best teacher of righteousness. He is the only One that could explain the details of holiness to your mind.
You might wonder how someone reading the Bible daily could still involve himself/herself in unrighteousness. The reason is simple! Such person did not allow the Holy Spirit to teach him the righteousness in God’s word. John chapter 16 and verses 8 say: “And when He has come, He will convict the world of…righteousness…”
The ability to become righteous cannot be achieved by your power. But, when you accept the Holy Spirit as your Teacher, then your righteous lifestyle shall be sustained in this sinful world.
3. You Will Escape Hot Judgment
Holy Spirit sees ahead of you, and He knows what will happen in the future. The presence of the Spirit of God will help you to understand the intention of God to good and evil doers.
Sometimes ago, the Holy Spirit told me that God is not pleased with the world again. “The world is just like a spoilt orange, and God will crush the earth very soon.” This message has a scriptural support in the book of Revelation chapter 21 and verse 1: “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.”
This information the Holy Spirit spoke to my mind helped me to have a good understanding that God will not joke with His judgment. All atheists should wake up from their slumber!!
4. Holy Spirit; the Best Reminder
You will agree with me that we find it difficult to remember all information on every occasion. That is the main reason for the reminder apps on our smart phones.
Holy Spirit is the best reminder apps for your spiritual success in life. Jesus knew it might be difficult for His followers to remember all His teachings. So, He made a promise in the book of John chapter 14 and verse 26: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
Holy Spirit has been my best reminder, even at the point of stumbling into sin. He speaks the word of God into my mind, and I quickly remember the right way to tackle temptations.
Holy Spirit will come into your life when you surrender your life to Jesus. His presence in your life will make you successful in all your ways. And the Spirit of God will help you to live a righteous life towards heaven.
