What is the mission of The Holy Spirit?
The mission of The Holy Spirit is to give us a revelation of Jesus Christ and to make the Word of GOD Life unto us as it was when spoken by The Son as new, as fresh, as effective as if The Lord Himself was speaking.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-
17 the Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
18 I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans—I will come back to you!
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.
If we are suffering, it is because we have a limited revelation of Jesus, of the fullness of Life there is IN HIM. I must include myself in living in the past with such limited revelation. I purpose to embrace the greater revelation IN HIM and walk accordingly.
The mission of The Holy Spirit is clearly documented in The Book of Acts.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts Chapter 2:
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided Tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4]And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
There was no question about the arrival of The Holy Spirit. They heard, they saw, and then they were filled with the clear evidence of speaking in Tongues. I was baptized in the same manner and have prayed in Tongues for 54 years. It is essential to my life. I am amazed by the resistance of believers concerning this Truth. Resisting this Truth rather than pursuing the fullness of this reality, limits the believer to some degree.
In a large conference held in Brazil with John Bevere being the keynote speaker, the entire building experienced the mighty rushing Wind. People wept and repented, many were healed. No one could deny what happened. It sounded like a low-flying jet with roaring engines. However, there was no noise reported outside the building.
This same sound brought the crowd in Jerusalem.
5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”
Peter then preached, being filled with The Holy Spirit, and said:
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.
41 Then those who gladly received his Word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
When is the last time you heard of 3,000 people being saved in one meeting?
But wait, there’s more.
In Acts chapter 3:
2And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;
3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.
4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”
5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Peter had the confidence to heal in the same manner as Jesus.
There’s still more:
In chapter 4:
1Now as they (Peter and John) spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,
2]being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
In a very short period of time, more than 8,000 were added to the church. That is how effective The Holy Spirit can be to those who are bound by The Holy Spirit. Let us not hinder the mission of The Holy Spirit!
