What having the Holy Spirit is like…


It’s like an internal wind that moves you and moves within you. It is like having a friend constantly with you, wanting the best for you, telling you things that encourage you, correcting you, warning you. This friend knows you inside out. Yet the friend is more than just close to you –He is part of you.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is the moment of perfect assurance that the ever insecure human heart craves. It is a burst of light that shows you how dark the darkness is that you never really understood you were in. It is the an overwhelming combustion as heavenly forces try to fit themselves into  the tiny heart of mere man.

It comes to break you and also to make you. God said receiving him in this way is a great gift (Acts 2:38).

It’s an awakening. It’s an intimacy. It’s a refreshing. It’s an internal fire. It’s a  pure brook of springing water. It’s a convicting force. It’s a connecting wire charged with power of the spiritual realm. It’s a healing, cleansing, unifying detergent of the soul.
In fact the Holy Ghost is not ‘it’…but ‘He.’ The very majestic God of Heaven claiming you as his own.
