The Holy Spirit

When I began writing these "blogs", I was totally seeking God and felt like He was telling me to write. I had been praying that He would fill me with His Spirit and help me hunger & thirst for Him more than I ever have. I began blogging about circumstances and how God can work. I have enjoyed every writing. I've taken situations in my life, written about how God got me thru them, and the lessons I learned along the way. And you, the reader, may have never known how I was changing on the inside or how each blog was really speaking to me.

Some of my blogs have been, unknowingly, in a spirit of hurt, sadness, and bitterness;  I had great intentions and was thinking of others, while all along, these blogs were for me - God was doing a work in me and I didn't even realize it. I've since learned an amazing truth and am totally a changed person.

I don't know if somewhere along the way, my blogs have encouraged or lifted someone's spirits, but, I know they have kept me seeking Him, wanting more, and having received more - and I am thankful!! God will complete the work He starts in us (Phil 1:6). He is not close to being finished with me, tho'....I'm a work in progress! :-)

In Acts 2:1, God's Word tells us "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting." 

Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

At the moment of Salvation, we "receive" the Holy Spirit; We can have "as little" or "as much" as we care to have. He (the Holy Spirit) wants to "indwell" us, but we must ask and be open to giving Him ALL of us. I personally have wanted more - to be filled and overflowing - and God has answered that prayer. He has filled me with the Holy Ghost and I pray I will be a funnel, pouring out the spirit of love - straight from the Holy Spirit - to everyone I meet.

Romans 5:5 "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us"

I am on a great journey and look forward to each day, to see what God has in store for me. My prayer, for you, is that you will seek Him with all of your heart and mind, being open to whatever His plans are, for you. You may be surprised where He takes you!

Every journey begins with a step ..........
