The Help

 Good Afternoon, through the next few weeks we will spend time talking and learning about the Holy Spirit and I will start by posting some pages from the book the Lord used me to write. We will learn about who He is and some of His expectations for us including the fruits of the Spirit.

​WHAT IS THE HOLY GHOST?
 
 
Simply put; the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God.
I John 5:8
For these are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
As Jesus walked the earth teaching and performing signs, miracles, and other wonders, He also mentioned that after He left, the Holy Ghost would come also called the comforter.
The Holy Ghost is the gift of promise as stated in Acts 1:4-5
And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which saith He, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
The reason God had given us the promise of the Holy Ghost is so that we would have comfort in knowing that though He may not be present in the flesh, He is present with us in the Spirit and will lead and guide us in the paths which we should go.
John 14:26
But the comforter which is the Holy Ghost, which the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
It’s a great comfort in knowing that no matter where we go, the Spirit of God will go with us. Not only is His presence comforting, but it also contains His power.
Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witness unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Being that God is the creator of the foundations of the world and is the originator of all power, it is most definitely a privilege to not only be created in His own image, but also to be given His power and authority to trample over all principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.
We live in a world full of spirits and demonic forces. We are not of this world, but live in it. We have been born into spiritual warfare; a war where darkness conflicts with the light. However, please understand that the war is not against flesh and blood and therefore cannot be fought with carnal weapons.
II Cor 10:4-5
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of stronghold;
Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
With the power of the Holy Ghost being one of our most effective spiritual weapons against the rulers of darkness and all of our enemies, it should be at the top of the list of things we MUST have.
The Holy Ghost is also known as the Spirit of Truth. Nowadays, there are several movements (spiritual) which can sometimes be deceiving if we don’t understand the difference between a spiritual movement and the divine power of God. This is where we allow the Spirit of Truth to shine through each situation.
The only way we really know the difference is because the fruits show and cannot lie. We shall know them by their fruits (Matt 7:16).
Gal 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
If we don’t see these fruits in operation then it is counterfeit and not the divine power of the Most High God. If it’s not of the Spirit of God then it’s a manifestation of the works of the flesh.
Gal 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Early in your walk with Christ you will still see some works of the flesh. However, as you continue to grow and seek the face of God, these ungodly attributes will start to fall by the wayside. Once you receive the Spirit of Truth it will lead and guide you.
John 16:13
Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
Be confident in knowing that once you have received the Spirit of promise, God will use His Spirit to teach you what it is that you should know and the things that you should do. The more you decrease, the Spirit will increase. You will begin to walk in the Spirit and be led of the Spirit.
I Cor 2:12
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Speaking of spiritual things; the spirit of God is available to all who are ready and willing to receive Him. God is no respecter of persons.
Acts 2:17-18
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
