HE WILL BRING GOD CLOSER TO YOU


This is the first thing the Holy Spirit does in your life,. He brings presence and when He does you'll no longer be in the dark. The Holy Spirit has a beautiful identity, He's called 'The Angel of God's presence'. He's the One who brings us the presence of God and makes it real to us.

In the book of Isaiah 63:9,20; " in all their affliction he was afflicted and the angel of his presence saved them, in his love and in his pity he redeemed them all the days of old. But they rebelled and vexed HIS HOLY SPIRIT..." - Can you see that? That the Holy Spirit mentioned in verse 10 is the called 'The Angel of His presence'.
In the Old Testament, He represented the Father and the Bible calls Him The Angel of His presence'.
The word angel I translated from the word that also means messenger. In other words, He is the messenger or the conveyor of God's presence. He is the One who carries God's presence from place to place world over.

And He brings that presence to me and to you, that's the reason we can know Jesus is REAL. That's the reason I can believe and we can believe in the word of God you may not have known this (including me) but it's the truth. When we pray, it's the Holy Spirit who makes the Divine presence of real to our spirits and the we seem to feel close to a living God. We are spiritually overwhelmed by Divine glory. God is omnipresent, but His manifested presence is not everywhere.

The Holy Spirit is the One who manifests God's presence. He brings to us an awareness of the power of God, and makes the presence real to us. I would say it's the necessary spark for the miraculous. God's presence in the life of a believer is very important. King David understood the importance of that presence in his life. This is why he cried out to God not to take His Spirit away from him after he had sinned with Bathsheba. He said in Psalm 51:11
"Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me" - so here we can see there's a connection between the presence of God and the Holy Spirit. However, I think no Christian need pray this prayer now, even when they've sinned because the Holy Spirit has come to dwell or is dwelling in every believer and the Lord Jesus said He'll abide with us forever (John 14:16). Moses also recognized the importance of God's presence. 

He never wanted to move without an assurance of God's presence: " And he (Moses) said unto Him (God), If thy presence go not with me,, carry us not up hence" This is what our lives ought to be like, we must always have an assurance of God's presence with using everything we do because in Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). The Holy Spirit is the Angel of God's presence and it does bring joy in the heart of the believer. In Psalms is says: " you'll show me the path of life, in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Joy I the fruit of human spirit and it's independent of circumstances. You may have heard some news or experienced some events that should make you melancholic, but when you allow yourself to be filled with the Holy Spirit, He'll bring you God's presence where you experience the fullness of joyand pleasures evermore.
"For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17) - The Holy Spirit brings to us the joy of God's presence.

YOUR TIME IS COMING

  Who made the universal decision that we should eat lunch at twelve. Who decided that it should take fours years apiece to finish highschool and college. Who made the decision a minute should be sixty seconds and an hour should be sixty minutes- These are all QUESTIONS I've been asking my self recently and I've come to realize that while "Time" itself is created by God, its perception was created by humanity and materialized by this clocks we put on the wall.  See there's nowhere in the world you can go and not find a clock and that's because we as SOCIETY put them there to REMIND you; society says you should brush your teeth for two minutes, society says you should sleep for eight hours, society says you should be done school by twenty-two, a career by twenty-five, a family by thirty. Be successful by forty and retire by sixty.  You see, we've created this one side but it fits our timeline for life thinking we can ALL wear the SAME clothes. And when we p...

LOVE OTHERS AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE YASLEF

 …you can’t punish pple for their mistakes. It’s like… ok u now u have to forgive pple and big part of that is, FORGIVING YASELF. We don’t forgive ourselves for all the bad stuffs and/or all the mistakes we made and it makes it is impossible to forgive other pple. The time I stayed with my dad (because I lived with him since I was a baby until 23) I talked to him on phone 😔 he still is reminding me of all the stuffs he used to educate me and teach me to carry my whole life thru. I just learned what LOVE is! Love is not punishing pple for and beating pple on em’ for what they did and hanging on to that trifling kind of f**** up shit 😉 you know they did to you, and it’s like… getting out of being a victim. And my dad with all the time we been together (from my comprehension of life until now) he was a drunk BUT… he purified my heart in a way that I LOVE LIFE! Like I literally like working with pple to helped find my true self and my dad helped cultivate an emotional invisibility. T...
