WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: Daily Devotional

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC).

The Holy Spirit is not smoke or a cloud, nor is He a light. He's not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. This is because He is the last of the Trinity known to us! In Genesis 1:1, God was introduced to us as “Elohim” (Hebrew).

"Elohim" is the Hebrew plural for God.

We are told in the second verse that "the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the deep." Although the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from "Elohim", he is the last known to us because of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another comforter who will be with you forever; Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him and does not know him, but you do know him; for he dwells with you and will be in you.” The Holy Spirit is just like Jesus. It receives no power from God.

Verily He is the POWER of God! He is the spirit of truth emanating from the Father. He is not inferior to the Father, nor is He inferior to Jesus. If you went to heaven, you would not find the Holy Spirit outside of the Father, for He is in the Father.

His presence is everywhere on earth!

Wherever you go as a child of God, the Holy Spirit accompanies you and His presence is contagious in all that is connected with you. He has no other name; “Holy Spirit” or “Holy Spirit” is a description of his person, his character.

Jesus said: “But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name …” (John 14:26). This simply implies that the Holy Spirit, while not having a proper name, responds to the name of Jesus. Oh, there are so many things to show about this amazing personality!

He is the Beauty of Heaven: our Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Advocate, Strengthener and Supporter. Hallelujah!

Complete Victory - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 15:57 (ESV) As Christians, we often face battles and struggles in our daily lives. We may encounter difficult circumstances or temptations that threaten to overwhelm us. However, we can take heart in knowing that through our faith in Jesus Christ, we have been given the promise of complete victory. In 1 Corinthians 15:57, Paul reminds us that our victory is not something we achieve through our own efforts or strength, but is a gift from God through Jesus Christ. Jesus has already won the ultimate victory over sin and death on the cross, and through our faith in Him, we are able to claim that victory in our own lives. This promise of complete victory is not just something we can look forward to in the future, but something we can experience in the present. When we face trials and difficulties, we can turn to Jesus and rely on His strength to carry us through. When we ...

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

With God All Things Are Possible - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: Matthew 19:26 (NIV) - "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" In our journey of faith, we often encounter situations and challenges that seem insurmountable. We may face overwhelming circumstances, difficult decisions, or personal struggles that leave us feeling helpless and discouraged. However, as Christians, we are reminded of the powerful truth found in Matthew 19:26, where Jesus assures us that with God, all things are possible. This verse serves as a beautiful reminder that we are not alone in our trials. We serve a God who is mighty, capable, and faithful. His power knows no bounds, and He is able to do far more than we could ever imagine. It is easy for us to lose sight of this truth when we are faced with obstacles, but the Lord invites us to trust Him and lean on His strength. One of the ways we can apply this verse in our daily lives is by cultivating an attitude of surrender and d...
