The Holy Spirit is the very presence of God in our lives! When God said, “I will never leave you or forsake you,” He had His Holy Spirit in mind. The Holy Spirit is: God with us...God in us... God for us... God through us.
And when He is operating in our lives the way He desires, several things happen. Six results of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life are:
The blessing of God in your household. (2 Samuel 6:1-11) When the Ark of God's presence was in the house of Obed-Edom, his whole household was abundantly blessed.
Supernatural guidance and fellowship with God will be yours. (Exodus 40:36-38, Exodus 25:22)
The hard-to-move mountains in your life will melt like wax. (Psalm 97:5)
Joy, laughter and pleasure will be yours. (Psalm 16:11 and 21:6)
Your enemies will fall and perish. (Psalm 9:3)
Time of refreshing and restoration will come. (Acts 3:19-20)
Now, how do we RELEASE THIS POWER AND PRESENCE in our every day lives? Very simply:
By our words. As we speak the Word of God out of our mouths on a regular basis, the Holy Spirit takes those Words and brings them to pass. Acts 10:44 says, “While he spoke these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening....”
Pray in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:2, Romans 8:26-27 – As we pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit is strengthening us and praying God's perfect will through our lives! The will of God in heaven penetrates and invades the earth as we pray in our heavenly language, even in the face of earthly circumstances and uncertain times.
Obedience to God. Acts 5:32 says He gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. Of course, we know that the Holy Spirit is a gift, but as we obey God, the power of the Holy Spirit is released into our lives.
Giving. In Acts 10:3-4, Cornelius gets the attention of God through his prayers and his continual giving of alms. It was through his giving that the gospel was brought to his household and the non-Jewish world. It was in this chapter that Cornielius became the first Gentile believer to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit! As a result, an entire region of the world was opened up to the gospel through his giving!
By getting this understanding about the power of God for your life and by releasing more of His power into your life by giving into the gospel, you will realize that God wants to do more in your life through the Holy Spirit beginning today!
And don't forget, He will never leave you or forsake you!
