Whether in our prayer, our study or our worship, the acknowledgement of God and his Son, Jesus Christ, are readily proclaimed. However, there seems to be a void in acknowledgement of the active presence, purpose and power of the Holy Spirit sent as experienced on the Day of Pentecost.
A. W. Tozer stated it clearly when he stated:
“Many of us have grown up on the theology that accepts the Holy Spirit as a Person and even as a divine Person, but for some reason, it never did us any good. We are as empty as ever, we are as joyless as ever, we as far from peace as ever, we are as weak as ever”
How can so many be missing out on the divine intimate gift of the Holy Spirit’s role to direct our days and provide for us meaningful saturation of the presence of God in every aspect of daily existence? Much of this has to do with our willing reception of the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives.
There are three aspects of the promise of the Holy Spirit that can radically transform our lives as we root our faith in listening and responding to the tug of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
