Holy Spirit Is A Person

 Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
So many people only quote the first part of the verse.
Yes there is no condemnation (The act of condemning; the judicial act of declaring one guilty, and dooming him to punishment.) if you are in Christ Jesus IF you walking ie living by the Spirit and not the flesh.
Holy Spirit is a person just like Jesus and God the Father are. He is the one who draws you to salvation, lives with in you when you get saved and will empower you to overcome sin in your life if you choose to walk along with Him.
Holy Spirit’s leading isn’t one where He is way out in front yelling at you to come on nor is He behind you driving or pushing you. He is the Comforter who will walk alongside you. Kinda like a person who can see who walks alongside someone who is blind or someone who’s eye sight is limited to just in front of them. He sees it all and if we who can’t see all would just lock arms with Him He will lead us into all that is good and away from all that’s sin.
The choice is ours. Do we trust our poor eye sight enough to go it alone or do we rely Holy Spirit to guide us?
Me I choose to do my best to cling to His arm for dear life.
Remember Holy Spirit knows it all and sees it all. Why would we ever trust ourselves to take one step without Him?

1st Report from 2nd Ireland Trip

Been With Jesus

  Acts 4:13   Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.   I saw a clip from an interview with R.T. Kendall where he was asked this question, “After 70 years in ministry what would be your advice to a young R.T. Kendall?”  His answer was that though he himself has many degrees he would not recommend to young ministers to go to seminary.  He mentioned Acts 4:13. His recommendation was to do 2 things.  Pray a lot and know your Bible. He said that God wants us to know 2 things, His Word and His ways. He pointed out that how we know His ways or anyone’s ways is to spend time with them. This is not the first time that Acts 4:13 has jumped out to me. This time I ask myself the question do unbelievers know that I have been with Jesus?  The they that realized in Acts 4:13 wasn’t the church but unbelievers....
