God gives the Best Things Ever!
The Holy Spirit is the best gift ever!
The subject of the Holy Spirit is not talked about so openly throughout the body of Christ. Some believe the Spirit is not active and only a part of the history of God’s Church. Some treat the Spirit like a mysterious active force. Some people even think of the Spirit as a dove. The Spirit makes a lot of people nervous.. Mainly becuase of what they have been told, or that they picked up on the reluctance to talk about it, or that they have seen the Spirit misrepresented.
The Holy Spirit is alive and well and is the Best Thing Ever.
The Spirit is not a actually a THING.. but a WHO. The same who that is the Father is the Holy Spirit. The same who that is Jesus the Son is the Holy Spirit.  You aren’t afraid of the Father or the Son. then do not be afraid of the Holy Ghost!
When Jesus told His disciples that He would be leaving in John 16, He said “It is BEST that I go…” Because Jesus ascended, the Holy Spirit now has come. Do you agree with Jesus that the Holy Spirit is BEST?
We need to be Filled, Stirred, and Flowing in the Holy Spirit

We talk a lot about the Holy Spirit here. But you ought to know that subject of the Holy Spirit is not talked about so openly throughout the body of Christ.

Some treat the Holy Spirit as..
Something that use to happen… They believe that the Holy Spirit was a gift to the early Church of Acts only. They teach that the Holy Spirit no longer operates in miracles or the gifts of the Spirit.  It went away when the last apostle died. This is called cessationsim – that the Gifts of the Spirit have ceased. (Learn about the Gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor 12)
A mysterious power or an “active force” like the Jedi in Star Wars would use.
A dove. It descended LIKE a dove upon Jesus at his baptism. So, many people think of a bird..
The Holy Spirit makes a lot of people nervous.  Mainly because of what they have been told about it… or that they picked up on the reluctance to talk about it… or because they have seen the Spirit misrepresented.
I want to tell you today that the Holy Spirit is alive and well!  The Holy Spirit is still a Gift from God, and it is the Best Thing Ever.
Not a thing.. but a who
I say Best Thing Ever, but that is not to say that the Holy Spirit is a thing or an it.
The Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is frequently called “He” or “Him” in scripture.
Encountering the Spirit is an unforgettable experience.  Receiving the GIFT is a life changing event.  BUT don’t think that the Spirit is an it or a thing. The Spirit is to be thought of as a Person.
The Spirit is God!  The same God that you call Father. That is the Holy Spirit!
