Meditate with Power! The Holy Spirit Can and Will Bless You The Holy Spirit can bless your life in many ways. Christ promised His Apostles that the Holy Spirit would “teach you all things John 14:26 and “guide you into all truth John 16:13. He also said that the Holy Spirit “shall testify of me John 15:26. Likewise, the Holy Spirit can help you. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you can recognize and understand truth and make right choices and inspired decisions. The Holy Spirit can inspire you with thoughts and ideas, warn you, and comfort you in times of sorrow. You may have already felt His influence at times in your life. That influence includes “love, joy, [and] peace Galatians 5:22. Almost everyone has felt the Holy Spirit at some time. But there is a difference between experiencing the occasional influence of the Holy Ghost and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. Although the Holy Spirit may temporarily comfort someone or reveal truth to them, the gift of the Holy Spirit is reserved for those who have been baptized and confirmed into Christ’s Church. This gift is the privilege of enjoying the constant companionship of the Holy Spirit conditional upon keeping the commandments. The gift of the Holy Spirit is given when a person is confirmed a member of the Church after baptism by someone having priesthood authority from God. It is given by the person having authority laying their hands upon the head of the person who was baptized and giving them a blessing to receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:14-18. Whether or not we then receive this great gift depends on our keeping the commandments of God. The Holy Spirit inspired godly men to write the Bible. “All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial,” wrote the apostle Paul. (2 Timothy 3:16) The Greek word translated “inspired of God” literally means “breathed into by God.” Jehovah’s breath, or spirit, guided the Bible writers’ thoughts, so that they transmitted “the word of God 1 Thessalonians 2:13. The Holy Spirit empowered God’s servants to foretell the future with accuracy. The apostle Peter explained: “No prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit 2 Peter 1:20, 21. The Holy Spirit helped Jesus and other men of faith to preach the good news of God’s Kingdom and to perform miracles. Jesus said: “Jehovah’s spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor, he sent me forth to preach a release to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind Luke 4:18. Thus the Bible indicates that the universe in all its order and harmony exists thanks to the “dynamic energy,” or power, of Almighty God. Clearly, God’s active force is immense, and our own existence depends on it. Allow the Holy Spirit to Do Good Works in Your Life The result of the fruit of the Holy Spirit is good works: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them Ephesians 2:10m. Lets go walk in these good works. Ask him to give you the faith to show up in the midst of a world that is perishing so that He can be glorified through you today, that you would make it on in, even through the storms and through the gates of heaven. https://youtube/watch?v=eFByOX8Fb0M
