Our access to GOD THE FATHER is by way of The Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is here on earth to connect us with Heaven. If we disregard the ministry of The Holy Spirit, it is our loss.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
22 In Whom you also are being built together for a Dwelling Place of God in the Holy Spirit.
In other Words, This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, His Dwelling Place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!
Our access to GOD is totally dependent on The Holy Spirit.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:
1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?
2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of The Living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
The Holy Spirit of The Living GOD communicates to our hearts. Why would we as believers not fully embrace the entire ministry of The Holy Spirit?
Paul continues:
4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,
6 Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the New Covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives Life (zōopoieō).
The Greek word zōopoieō means: to produce alive, begat or bear living young,
to cause to live, make alive, give life, by spiritual power to arouse and invigorate,
to restore to life, to give increase of life: thus of physical life, of the Spirit, quickening as respects the Spirit, endued with new and greater powers of life.
The Holy Spirit is the Facilitator of all aspects of life here on earth. He is the One Who hovered over the earth and initiated form to the void. He initiated physical life over the entire creation. Why do so many churches ignore His overall ministry on earth?
Paul continues:
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Moses received but a taste of THE SPIRIT when he communicated with GOD THE FATHER. The Glory on his face was temporary because The Holy Spirit was yet to come in His fullness.
In other Words, the fading ministry came with a portion of glory, but now we embrace the unfading ministry of a permanent impartation of glory. The Holy Spirit was sent to impart permanent glory if we will totally accept His ministry. We are not meant to live with 2/3 Gospel, but instead the Full Gospel which includes the ministry of The Holy Spirit.
Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 12:
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God Who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
8 for to one is given the Word of Wisdom through the Spirit,
to another the Word of knowledge through the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit,
to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles,
to another prophecy,
to another discerning of spirits,
to another different kinds of tongues,
to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But One and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
How many of you have seen the operations of The Holy Spirit listed above in a church service? Most churches are so structured to appease their members, The Holy Spirit is not welcome to take over the service. Members want to hurry and get to the local restaurant in time to eat and then watch the latest sports event… sadly. It is disappointing for so many ministers to ignore such a vital ministry when they gather.
James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 3:
1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.
All of the fivefold ministry must heed this Word. Failure to include the ministry of The Holy Spirit in Its totality will have consequences! We should embrace the full access of GOD through the ministry of The Holy Spirit.
