Do You Know the Holy Ghost?
by an Old Disciple
I’m not being mystical in this article, though some who have no dealings with the Spirit will probably accuse me of it. I have a message entitled,“Do You Know the Holy Ghost?” It’s possible to know Him in an intimate way. Jesus, in John, speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit, says,“…but ye know him…” Just a random reading of the book of Acts shows that God’s people were sensitive to the Spirit. Both Phillip, Peter, and Paul, along with others knew and obeyed His voice.
I find many Christians today believe the Spirit speaks to them on big things they consider spiritual, but not on the little mundane things in life that we believe have nothing to do with the spiritual realm. But, on the contrary, there are times when the Spirit will speak to a believer about doing seemingly small, unimportant things that other Christians would consider silly and laughable, if you told them.
What the Holy Ghost is doing by this is keeping the believer sharp in the small, everyday things of life, so that when the big tests come, it will be natural and habitual to follow His leadership.
May each of us be so sensitive to the Holy Ghost that we will obey Him in those insignificant, seeming trifles of everyday life. If we do not, it’s doubtful He will call on us when the big things occur. After all, we’d not know His voice if He did speak to us.
If I have the Holy Spirit indwell, and if Christ abides in me and I in Him, then He must be with me all the time, and I should hear He "speak" to me all the time, unless I'm not paying attention.
Amen! Thank you 😊
