Let us acknowledge and embrace the full ministry of The Holy Spirit on earth!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
14 For Jesus Himself is our peace, Who has made both (Jew and non-Jew) one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,
16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
18 For through Him (Jesus) we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
All Three of the GODHEAD are involved in our collective citizenship in the household of GOD. We have access to THE FATHER by The Holy Spirit. It is imperative that we understand this Truth for us to walk in total peace and fruitfulness. The Holy Spirit energizes our words to THE FATHER by the authority given to us through Jesus Christ. Nobody approaches GOD except through The Holy Spirit!
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,
21 in Whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a Holy Temple in the Lord,
22 in Whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place (habitation) of God in the Spirit.
In other Words, this means that God is transforming each one of us into the Holy of Holies, His Dwelling Place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in us!
We are meant to acknowledge, embrace, and act on the reality of the power of The Holy Spirit so that we have unhindered access to walk in such power thereby ministering life, health, and healing to those in need. This is the Great Commission!
Paul reveals the process: it goes upwards, then comes downwards; through Jesus by THE SPIRIT to THE FATHER; from THE FATHER by THE SPIRIT in The Son. It is very important to see this because our access to GOD and the reality of GOD in our lives is totally dependent on The Holy Spirit!
It is not just a religion, it is not just a set of rules, it is not just a doctrine. We have a relationship with The Holy Spirit. The strength of that relationship is determined by our own acknowledgement and acceptance of such a relationship. If you ignore this relationship, you will hinder the operation of The Holy Spirit in your life. He will not force Himself on you.
A major problem in the Christian church is that they ignore and belittle the vital work of The Holy Spirit. Shouldn’t we seek an intimate relationship with The Holy Spirit Who is here on earth in the same manner that we seek such a relationship with GOD THE FATHER and Jesus Christ?
Many Christians want to focus on the future in going to Heaven to spend eternity in the Presence of GOD THE FATHER and Jesus Christ when they should focus on the here and now in the Presence of The Holy Spirit!
In Paul’s ministry, he made it abundantly clear the importance of The Holy Spirit in his life and ministry.
He wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 14:
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.
16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?
17 For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank My God I speak with Tongues more than you all;
The Holy Spirit was essential to Paul’s ministry and it should have the same priority in our walk as well.
