Description
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? (Luke 11: 13)And now you gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago. (Ephesians 1:13)And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, He has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who give His Holy Spirit to you.(1 Thessalonians 4:8)When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.(Acts 2: 1-4)The Holy Spirit has been with me since the day that I was born, I just didn't realise it.Through many challenging years, and having passed through many life-changing hurdles, I can understand now, with rear view vision, that the Holy Spirit has been leading me, for many years past, towards the love of our dearest Father God.And His great and unconditional love has given me a whole lease of a new life. A second chance!Unbeknownst to me - and something that my wife, Marlene, told me much later - was that prior to meeting me online she had been praying that she would meet someone with whom she could share her life and who had the same interests as she did.I just don't think that Marlene was expecting that person to live so many thousands of miles away in another continent!!But, of course, the Holy Spirit had other ideas!!After a while we found that it was very easy for us to chat in real time via Skype. And, through Skype, we were able to visually see each other. We were never lost for words and during the next few months we chatted online - and on the telephone - and via emails - every day.By the end of 2011 we decided (or, perhaps, the Holy Spirit decided for us?) that it was time for us to meet in the physical.And, as you will read in my book, the Holy Spirit has been at work continuously in my life.And if you ask him, the Holy Spirit will be delighted to manifest himself in your life too
