Is the Holy Spirit only for Christians?
The Holy Spirit only lives within Christians. That's one definition of Christians - people who have the Holy Spirit living in them (look at Romans 8:9). But the Holy Spirit also works in people's lives before they become Christians.
READ
John 15: 26-27
When we tell our friends about Jesus it is the Holy Spirit who gives us the power and the courage. But it is also the Holy Spirit who works in our friend's lives to help them to understand the truth of what we are saying.
READ
John 16: 7-11
If we'd asked them, the disciples would probably have said that they would have liked Jesus to stay with them for ever. But Jesus says it's better for the Holy Spirit to come. why? Well, one reason is that Jesus could only be in one place at one time. Imagine if you had to go all the way to Israel to speak to Jesus! But the Holy Spirit is with all Christians everywhere.
THANK
. . . God for the Holy Spirit and especially the help he gives us in telling others about Jesus. Think of your friends who need to know Jesus. Write down the names of one or two of them and pray for them today that the Holy Spirit will help them to know the truth about Jesus.
Remember....
...That your presence is a present to the world.
...That you are a unique and unrepeatable creation.
...To count your blessings, not your troubles.
...That you will make it through whatever comes along.
...That most of your answers you need are within you.
...That not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
...That the longer you carry a grudge, the heavier it gets.
...To laugh.
...That a little love goes a long way.
...That a lot goes forever.
..That happiness is more often found in giving than getting.
...That life's treasures are people, not things.
...That the Holy Spirit lives in you.
The Holy Spirit teaches you character, patience, humility and faith. May God bless your day with Peace, Joy and Love.
Suggestion : Why not put up a "Visitors' Counter" to track the traffic volume here?
That is a good suggestion. Eunice, can you work on it. TQ
