(Third part)
Memory verse (Jn 14:17): " The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you ".
One great thing the believer needs to discover is the dwelling place of the helper. Many believers don’t relate to the helper they have because they don’t know that he lives in them. Many look for different things out there, they are looking for an experience, a voice on the mountain, an appearance of a man shining like the sun, an Angel, they keep themselves in prayer rooms and their minds wonder around waiting for external invasion of something, for unusual manifestation, well the Holy Spirit can give us many experiences, manifestations, visions, etc but the Holy spirit is not any of those things you may be seeking. He is not out there on the mountain, the cloud etc. The Holy Spirit IS IN YOU.
The day you accepted Christ into your life, the Holy Spirit, made a glorious entry into your life and He will be in you forever (Jn14: 16-17). He is always there in your inner man, i.e. his temple (1Cor3: 16). He is there whether you feel him or not, whether you know it or not, LOOK AT THESE SCRIPTURES AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT OPEN the eyes of your spirit and get the revelation. ..That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love… (Eph3: 17). This scripture shows that Christ dwells in our hearts. Paul taught about the mystery of the church as CHRIST IN US THE HOPE OF GLORY (COL1; 27). What a wonder! What a mystery! Christ, the glory of God is dwelling in you a believer! You are the temple of God, THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS IN YOU (1COR3: 16). Can you imagine all the experiences, the fire, the glory, the power, the Lord, are just inside your spirit!
Let me announce to you this good news that will revolutionalise your life, since you got born again, the Holy Spirit has been in your heart and he has never left you until today. He is there and was sent by God through Christ to be your helper and be with you until the end of your journey on the earth. I have been walking with the Lord Jesus for 22 years now and you know? What the Holy Spirit has been in my life all these years, day and night, summer and winter, on rainy days or sunny days, whether I sensed him or not he has always been there and he will be there to help me till my journey on earth is over.
