Have your ever wondered about the Spirit of God?  Some call Him the HOLY GHOST.  I call Him – friend.

How is it, in churches today, that we are taught so much with regard to our Heavenly Father and of course, in Jesus’ earthly ministry.  We are taught practical living tips on how to be a better parent.  We are given whole series on how to walk in authority and who we are in Christ and YET — so very little about the Spirit of God – the third person of the Trinity?

The Holy Spirit and His job in yours and my life isn’t mystical or magical or thank God, it is NOT mundane.  It’s POWERFUL!  I REALLY should say, HE’S POWERFUL!

Oftentimes, because of a lack of understanding or even having been wrongly taught, we shy away from the ministry of the Holy Spirit, AND YET – He lives IN US!   He longs to accomplish the impossible THROUGH us – as we simply yield to Him, asking Him to baptize us (being fully immersed) in His Spirit.

Many years ago, (at age 15) I was introduced to an amazing relationship with the Spirit of God, and I have been on an adventure ever since.  Praying in the Spirit, by example, is a wondrous inroad to the heart of God — praying out His perfect plan to come to pass — in the earth.

This kind of praying isn’t for the super elite Christian, or the beloved one (like the Apostle John), but for all of His kids!  It isn’t relegated to the mature alone, but is available for the hungry.  It is a gift.  Freely given.

And GET THIS .. Jesus is the Baptizer IN the Spirit and Mary — the mother of Jesus prayed this way.  If Mary prayed this way, (after all, she was in the Upper Room), I want to pray this way!  Who modeled an intimate life with Jesus more than his mom?  Only a few, I’d say.

So .. I invite you to begin to hunger for more of God.  Begin to assess where you are at, spiritually speaking .. and, maybe, just maybe – He’s calling you to more.

I leave you with one last thought.

There are currently 5,000+ languages in operation in the earth today.  This doesn’t include languages that have passed away nor the languages of the innumerable company of angels.  God’s got A LOT of languages to choose from to both speak TO us, and WE to Him!  As in any relationship, it is after all, supposed to be a dialogue.  Yes?

He desires for each of us to speak in His language – the language of heaven.  And, in doing so, we affect change – in the earth.

I don’t know about you, but I want to affect eternal change in the earth and if God gave me His Spirit to help me do that, then I’m linking arms with Him!

EM Bounds said something like this .. “it is far better to speak to God about men, than to merely speak to men about God.”  We SHOULD be engaged in the hunt for men’s souls, but we first must commune with God.  It is in this order, that we find ourselves knowing Him .. and then, making Him known.

I dare you to do the same.

Because people need Jesus.
