Shalom! There has been a lot of teachings about the Holy Spirit made over the years in order to bring the people of God into that place of intimacy with Him. The apostle Paul prayed that "... the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all" (2 Corinthians 13: 14). In other words, he prayed for us to know the Holy Spirit as our Friend.
The name Comforter also mean Friend. God has sent the Holy Spirit here on earth into our lives to be our Friend.
Having the Holy Spirit in our lives as Friend is a great thing because He is God just like the Almighty Father.
Imagine you and God taking a walk together with, holding hands and chatting along as close friends. This is what God desires regarding all of us believers in Christ Jesus.
It could be a very exciting experience for each one of us if we really desire it.
The Holy Spirit has already been given to you since the day you accepted Jesus as your Saviour and Lord. It's now up to you to make a move towards real friendship with Him.
1. Accept the truth that He is already there in your life.
2. Start talking to Him, asking Him to do those things Jesus said He would do in your life eg, teaching, guiding, helping and showing you things to come; bringing things to your remembrance and standing by you at all times.
As God, He is able to do all things, and nothing is impossible with Him. He knows everything and can see everything. There no one on earth as powerful and great as He is. The Holy Spirit is God and I've seen His power.
Till next posting, God bless.
