John 14:16-17 "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, so that He may be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you."

Many want to understand the gifts, fruit, voice, power and workings of the Holy Spirit without first coming to know Him as a Person. Yes, a Person, not a human, but a divine Person, the third Person of the Godhead. He is not an "it", or a mystical power that flows from God, He is God.

I encourage you to take a minute and think about what place you give Him in your personal day to day life. Ask yourself, "Do I honor and reverence Him as a Person? Am I aware that He knows me best, and loves me most. Or that He has made His home in my heart and wants to be actively involved in my life? Do I long to spend time with Him, getting to know Him through the Word, and developing an intimate relationship with Him?"

If you can honestly say that you have pretty much ignored Him, or give Him little room in your life, let me re-introduce you to the most amazing, wonderful, kind, tender, sensitive, mighty Person on the face of the earth. He is all-knowing and all-powerful. He is a lifelong and permanent companion who is willing and able to teach, help, protect, counsel and guide you. He is infinite in majesty, glory, splendor, wisdom, knowledge, and holiness. He is God.
