DAILY FIRE: WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength” (Isaiah 40:29).  DAILY FIRE! I am a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.  As much as we may wish for it, the Lord does not send publicity by heavenly mail to tell us who He is! The works performed by His Holy Spirit are seen on earth. The Holy Spirit is a Person—He is God in action. Creation came as “the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2).  When God chose His servants, the power of the Holy Spirit rested upon them. “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel…and He has filled him with the Spirit of God….And He has put in his heart the ability to teach” (Exodus 35:30–31, 34). And again “The Lord raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel….The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel” (Judges 3:9–10).  After these judges, the prophet Samuel guided an entire nation for a lifetime. How? “Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21). The prophet Micah testified, “but truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord” (Micah 3:8).  These are portraits of the Holy Spirit. This is that Spirit whom Christ promised, the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge, creative, empowering, healing—the Spirit of strength, confidence, and virtue. Our heavenly Father sends the Holy Spirit to be with us. He is the One who never leaves us.  Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke.
