Bible Answer: Hi Janice - this is actually part 2 of my response to your question. Just scroll down a bit if you want to read part 1 first. ------------------------------------ So Janice, ASK – SEEK – KNOCK – PERSIST! You are on threshold of a most amazing journey into the heart of your God! We cannot begin to fathom the infinite wonders of Who He is, and of His incredible love for us!! (Prov 2:1-5) Get yourself a concordance, or if you’re online you can search this site or go to Biblegateway.com, and begin to look up and imbibe the Scriptures pertaining to the Holy Spirit. And don’t forget to ask HIM to be your Teacher and make the written word come alive in your heart! Here are a few passages from the Gospel of John to get you started. John 14:16-18 AMP And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever-- The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you. John 15:26,27 AMP But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. But you also will testify and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning. John 16:12-14 AMP I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. Remember that from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through the Gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. May His grace and love, and the fellowship of the His Holy Spirit be with you and your family! (2 Thess 2:13,14; 2 Cor 13:14) cuhigher |
