Who is the Holy Spirit to me personally and what does He do in my life?
Well, most could say that in certain situations they have been in they have been directed or felt a tug to go a certain way or have had peace in certain circumstances that they attribute to God. As they should, that is the Holy Spirit, the 3rd person of the Trinity.
- So when I was young I felt a tug to walk the isle and ask Christ into my heart.
- When I was in high school I kept having these convictions over and over again to turn my life around towards Christ, which I would partially do and then return to my worldly ways.
- In the 1st semester of my college experience, right in the middle of it, I had a breakdown moment alone in my dorm room, the conviction was so strong I had no other option but to surrender.
- I felt led to get deeper into biblical studies.
- To make a long story short (more on the testimony page) I found myself after years and for many years heavily convicted about where and who I was.
- Along with knowledge; humility, weeping and repentance became a big part of my Christian walk as it still is now.
That is the Holy Spirit!
He will bring you more peace and joy then you can imagine, as well as convictions when you start to go or are going in a direction away from the will of God.
See the Holy Spirit indwells us from the moment we turn our lives to Christ, we are a new creation. If we repent and truly seek God then the Holy Spirit guides and directs us, we will literally flow in the direction of Christ, being transformed and conformed to Him along the way. This brings peace and joy, it is now part of our DNA. But when we, as new creatures in Christ, start to turn and seek the world and the worldly things we will feel off, like we're going against the grain. Temporary joy comes leaving you shamed and confused.
That is the Holy Spirit: He leads, guides, turns and brings life and true joy because His purpose is to lead us to Christ as our Intercessor, whose purpose is to lead us to the Father as our Mediator.
Your Father has everything in His hands to make sure you find Him. All you have to do is answer His call, cry out to Christ and make Him your Lord and Savior, the Lord over your life, and you will be saved, indwelt with true life with the Holy Spirit.
