2 | Filled with the holy spirit? | John 14:16 | Jeff W | 138207 | ||
Hello, Many believe that they must "feel" something when they receive the Holy Spirit, but one of my favorite verses is John 3:8, it states that the wind blows where it will and we cannot see it, but we see the results, so is the Holy Spirit. We could be sad or glad, sorrowful or full of joy and still have the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Holy Spirit was given to us for specific reasons. Jesus states in John 14:26 that God will send the Comforter in His name to do what? Also jesus states in John 16:8 that when the Holy Spirit (Comforter) comes He will reprove, or convince, or convict the wolrd of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. So the Holy Spirit is very important in our lives personally. Without Him how would we know if we are sinning, or righteous? God Bless you Jeff W |

Greetings You don't believe that those in the upper room felt anything when they received the Holy Spirit? And if they didn't fill anything, why did they accuse them of being drunk? |

Hello, I was not implying that feelings aren't involved, but when we make feeling the requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit many people get discouraged thinking that they have never received the Spirit when they have. Sure there could be feelings involved, and I'm sure many have had experiences where they felt the presence of God. Amen? God Bless you Jeff W |

The requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit can be found in Acts 2:38. No one can receive the Holy Spirit without realizing it, therefore, you need no incouragement to reinforce that fact. The presence of God is unmistakable. You can not receive the Holy Spirit without the presence of God, because the Holy Spirit, is God. | ||||||
