Sense The Presence Of Holy Spirit

And Jesus answered and said to them, See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.  Matthew 24:4-8 NASB

My friends, we cannot make a move without Holy Spirit.  Mankind's rebellion, sin, and wickedness is multiplying while escalating - The revelations Holy Spirit shares point to Jesus Christ’s return.  Read the Bible.  - There are a number of prophetic signs described in the books of Daniel, Matthew, Luke, and 1 Timothy - these aren't necessarily the only indicators of the last days, but they are significant and have been shared by Holy Spirit through God's written word.

Luke 21:25-28 NASB There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

Jesus Christ’s disciples who walked with Him thousands of years ago asked about the signs of His coming and the end of the age because they understood what mankind struggles to accept - that we must absolutely  surrender our control to Jesus and seek the Lord’s wisdom, help, and discernment to understand the scope of His divine warnings such as…. ..deception, false prophets, nation rising against nation, famine and pestilence, earthquakes, persecution of the church, offences, lawlessness, love growing cold, the preaching of the gospel in all the world, fear, an increase in knowledge, the shortening of time, abandonment of Christianity, confusion and much more. 

Truly take heart when the day feels like its smashing into loud oueces around you. Holy Spirit is among us. He will help us travel these darkened times, to walk fearless on the valley roads and mountain highways when we ask Him to. He prays deeper than words …… yes! thank You Jesus! When Holy Spirit came to dwell in us, He brought the eternal life of God. He gives us the very breath of heaven. He infuses us with God’s presence. And more than that, When we ask Jesus Christ into our life, we receive the gift of Holy Spirit. Because acknowledging the truth out loud that Jesus Christ was crucified, that He conquered death and rose again 3 days later, that He is the Messiah Saviour, He will be with His people, wherever we go. Holy Spirit is right there with us in that hospital room, right here with us teaching that Jesus Christ is Lord, and guiding us through God’s kingdom on earth to eternity.  

John 20:19-22 NASB So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be with you.” And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, receive Holy Spirit.

Thank You Holy Spirit!  Our comforter! Before Jesus went to the cross, He spent time with His disciples and opened His heart to share many things with them. During His last crucial hours with His closest followers—whom He called “friends”—He taught about Holy Spirit. He wanted His disciples then and we, His disciples now, to know  would not be alone even though He was leaving.

John 14:16-18 NLT And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it isn’t looking for Him and doesn’t recognize Him. But you know Him, because He lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. 

John 16:13-14 TPT But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak on His own, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. He will glorify Me on the earth, for He will receive from Me what is Mine and reveal it to you. 

It’s Holy Spirit who gives us the power to follow Jesus. He speaks to us about who Jesus is, what He has taught (John 14:26), convicts us of righteousness (John 16:8), and guides us to the truth (John 16:13).

As Christians who have accepted Jesus Christ, we can can literally sense the presence of Holy Spirit in ourselves and in those we meet or already know, and as we grow in our faith we all learn to hear His voice.
