WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO STAY
By: Gordon Moore
When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, He brings the presence of God. The work of the Holy Spirit within our lives is to connect us with God––to create fellowship, relationship, guidance and fruit.
The Holy Spirit presences Himself in man, but this can present problems for us because He is beyond all human understanding, convention, mentality and opinion. In our self-indulgent, self-oriented and self-pleasing culture, we are not prepared for the unpredictable, miraculous moments of the Holy Spirit!
However, the Holy Spirit is not subject to our personal preferences, convenience, comfort or rights to individual autonomy. When God shows up in your circumstances in a “Holy Spirit moment”, you can trust it is His right timing. God interrupted Saul on a very important errand and changed the entire course of his life in that one moment. The Apostle Peter had a Holy Spirit moment when he saw a vision and was convinced to take the good news of Jesus to the Gentiles. Barnabas ended up in the middle of a major move of God at Antioch and helped to raise up Paul, the greatest apostle, after he had his own Holy Spirit moment.
What about you? Do you need a Holy Spirit moment? We all need the Holy Spirit to move on us––to save us, fill us, renew us and change the way we think and live.
What is the Holy Spirit saying to me?
