John
14:16, “And
I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that
he may abide with you for ever; 17
Even
the
Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.”
John
14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace
I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.”
As
individuals in the Body of Christ, we need to recognize and embrace
the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is now and will be in
the time ahead of us, an indispensable confidant. The power of Christ
through the Holy Spirit is essential to our success individually and
as the Body of Christ. We need to experience the same Holy Ghost that
we read about in the book of Acts. The same Holy Ghost that empowered
the first century Church to turn the world upside down.
We
need to walk in the unabated freedom of the Holy Ghost. Unabated
means “continuing at full strength or force without becoming
weaker, being at full strength or force.” The power of the Holy
Ghost will never diminish and we will require His full authority,
presence, and perspective every moment of this journey. We dare not
proceed without being fully immersed in His person and baptized in
the power of His presence. His guidance is essential! The choices and
decisions ahead will be difficult. Not difficult to make but
difficult in the sense of their consequences. A step forward without
the absolute wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit could put us on a
path of irreparable error. At the very least, choices made without
the full assurance of the Holy Ghost will cause unnecessary sorrow
and suffering. The road back is always burdensome.
The
storms of darkness will rage against the souls of light. Jesus Christ
is fully aware when the storms come. He is with us in the person of
the Holy Spirit, therefore, the storms will respond to His voice. He
is the Master of ALL! When the storms of life are raging, He will
stand by me. At the mere utterance of His command, the winds cease and
there is peace.
Mark
4:37, “And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat
into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder
part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say
unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose,
and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” There is always Peace And
Freedom In The Holy Ghost!
