By the Grace of God, Prophet Abraham Richard took his position in the Authority of the HolySpirit to share with the believers the Word of God. With the message titled: The HolySpirit, he taught:
Good morning, child of God, allow your heart to rest, because the LORD is in control. Let us visit the Word of God because faith has to be based on the Word of God. John chapter 14 verse 15-18(NIV) Verse 15: If you love me, keep my commands. Verse 16: And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever — Verse 17: the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
This scripture means that those who Love Jesus aspire to this: His work is their work. His joy is their joy. The pain He feels is their pain as well. His yoke is their yoke. Wherever He wants to go, He goes with them; those are the ones that Love Christ Jesus. Those people who hunger and thirst for righteousness. They are the ones He has promised to send the Holy Spirit.
However, we have a very big problem. Everyone thinks that the promise of the HolySpirit is theirs. Everyone cannot receive Him. Christ Jesus promised the HolySpirit to only those who had suffered with Him.
Look at your way of life; are you suffering with Him? Are you carrying the cross with Him? If you are running up and down for His name to be glorified, He has promised you the HolySpirit. Our Master said that He will not leave us as orphans. He promised to come in the person of the Holy Spirit and stay with forever.
If you know Christ Jesus, then you already know the HolySpirit. When you see Him walk, you will easily identify Him. You know the working of the Holy Spirit, but when the world sees it, they call Him a demon. They call the HolySpirit a demon because they have never seen Christ Jesus at work.
Those who were privileged to walk with Him saw the working of the HolySpirit and they even asked Christ Jesus questions, for example, “Master, why couldn’t we drive out this evil spirit?” (Mark chapter 9 verse 28 to 29). Christ Jesus responded to His disciples that this kind can go away by prayer and committing your yourself to the HolySpirit.
It is there that the disciples learnt that when you pray for someone without committing yourself to the HolySpirit, then you are only performing a religious act. A religious prayer cannot deliver anyone, but a Spirit prayer can deliver everyone.
That is why Christ Jesus promised them the HolySpirit who had been working with Him. He would continue working with them and would be comfortable with them because He knows they know Him. Even today, it is the same: the HolySpirit cannot be comfortable with someone who does not know Him.
This is the voice of the HolySpirit talking to you reader, treasure this moment. However much the world wants the HolySpirit, they can never have Him. No money can buy the Holy Spirit. He comes from your Loving Christ Jesus; the one revealed to you by the Grace of God.
The reason the world cannot accept the HolySpirit is because they do not know Him and cannot see Him. They cannot do what we do even if they tried to forge it. It cannot come out perfectly because the HolySpirit is not involved in their acts. That is why we shall forever be in conflict; the world and the Children of God.
Did you know that the HolySpirit feels wonderful when you are revealing the Truth about Him? The Advocate, who is the Spirit of Truth, has been promised to us. It means when you know the Truth, then you know the Truth about everything.
You cannot put lies before a believer’s face because the Spirit of Truth dwells in them.
Let us learn to value and be obedient to the HolySpirit. Let us value the small instructions He gives us because He is our greatest friend and helper. He intercedes for our purposes on earth with groans we cannot understand (Romans chapter 8 verse 26 to 27).
When you organize yourself according to the instructions of the HolySpirit, He takes the role of making intercession for you. We have many wrongs and errors that have led us to the problems we are in today. Look at the man at the pool in the book of John chapter 5, who lay at the pool for thirty-eight years. He was a religious believer.
But where was the problem? After healing him, Jesus said to him, sin no more. Meaning, this man’s mistake held him captive. So, there was a great need for the Holy Spirit to come. Religion could not heal this brother. This simply means to us that our strength cannot heal us. The spiritual attacks in our lives, it is the Holy Spirit to take them away, not man.
Listen to this message with your heart because it is the best book recorder. Christ Jesus has said that He will send us the HolySpirit. He is the One to help you every day to follow Jesus. The HolySpirit is the only treasure we have as believers, and without Him, you cannot be healed, touched, or converted. We may not have the money and fame the world has, but we have a treasure they cannot have.
Summing up this Spirit filled message, the Servant of God warned the believers about the consequences of losing the Holy Spirit. He taught: When the Holy Spirit distances from you, you will remain a religious man but not born again. Remember that it is only born agains that get the opportunity to serve God.
Therefore, let us maintain our friendship with the Holy Spirit, because that is the only way we shall serve Christ Jesus. Remember, we should always be flexible before the Holy Spirit, because He knows what is best for us.
Dear reader, now that you have understood the importance of the HolySpirit in your life, join the Prophet of God in this prayer confession.
Prayer: God Holy Spirit, I welcome You in my life. I have received Your voice, You are talking to me. Fill my life. Amen
