The Pentecostals see Him as the force behind speaking in tongues and the motivator of spiritual zeal. Often, His presence is heralded with great emotional display.
Then came the Charismatics, presenting the Holy Spirit to the world as the operator of signs and wonders, and diverse manifestations, like "falling under the power."
Who Is The Holy Spirit
He is not a feeling or a falling, nor is He a crying or a wailing. He is no emotion, He is a person.
He is a personality in the order of the Godhead! He is the third person of the Trinity - but not inferior.
He is in charge of the affairs of the kingdom of God on earth today.
He is the Chief Executive of the divine programme on earth.
He is the motivator, energizer and operator of every revealed plan (vision) from God.
He is the revealer of the hidden treasures of the kingdom and holds the key to the inheritance of the saints.
The Holy Spirit is the most valuable asset to Christian living. He is the central figure in any breakthrough in life.
"But why all the counterfeits’", you may ask. The simple answer is this: the presence of the counterfeit is a sure proof of the existence of the genuine. No other personality of the Godhead is more impersonated than the Holy Spirit. This is because He is the reality of the hour.
By virtue of my salvation background with the Evangelicals, I was biased against the Holy Spirit. In fact, for the first six years of my salvation, I did not even want to hear the subject of the person of the Holy Spirit preached. The Evangelicals believe that all saved people are filled with the Holy Spirit.
I began to find faults with those who claim to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Little did I know that the enemy was out to steal my destiny. Today, that same Holy Spirit is my sweetest companion and greatest asset.
Come with me on an exciting adventure into the person and mission of the Holy Spirit.
How, then, can one be filled with the Holy Spirit?
You need to first understand that we are Filled by the Holy Spirit by Faith; You dont need a mountain moving faith but as little as a mustard seed kind of faith via confession; then we can experience the abundant and fruitful life which Christ promised to each Christian.You can appropriate the filling of the Holy Spirit right now if you:
1.Sincerely desire to be directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 5:6; John 7:37-39). Confess your sins.
2. By faith thank God that He has forgiven all of your sins - past, present and future - because Christ died for you (Colossians 2:13-15; 1 John 1; 2:1-3; Hebrews 10:1-17). Present every area of your life to God (Romans 12:1, 2).
3. By faith claim the fullness of the Holy Spirit, according to:
A. His Command - Be filled with the Spirit. "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18).
B. His Promise - He will always answer when we pray according to His will. "And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked of Him" (1 John 5:14, 15)
