THE HOLY SPIRIT from The Beginning
The Holy Spirit, Ruach ha’ Chodesh of God was there from the very beginning and through the Spirit everything was created.
Gen 1:1-2
(1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (2) The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (3) Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. [Literally meaning, ‘let light exists’.]
When God said let there be light, “Yehi ‘ohr”, “light became the direct manifestation of God’s divine order, His truth & presence, dispelling the primordial chaos. The Holy Spirit vanquished the darkness & replaced it with light.”
OUR QUEST through the Holy Spirit
Isa 66:2 For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the LORD. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.
THE HOLY SPIRIT in The New Testament
Luk 24:49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
Joh 3:34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
Joh 15:26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
THE WITNESS of the Spirit of Christ
1Jn 5:6-8
(6) This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
(7) For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
(8) And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
WHAT DO WE testify about the daily presence & guidance of the Holy Spirit?
