TO RECOGNISE THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

 



The first role of the Holy Spirit to testify, glorify and reveal Jesus Let us read some of the scriptures to understand this role of the Holy Spirit.

John 15:26 “…he (Holy Spirit) will testify about me (Jesus).”

John 16:14 “He (Holy Spirit) will bring glory to me (Jesus)…”

Ephesians 1:17 “…may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation (i.e., about Jesus)…”

Ephesians 3:4–5 “In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.”

The most important role of the Holy Spirit is to testify and glorify Jesus.

Acts 2:4 says “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit…”

In Acts 2:14, “Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd:…” and Acts 2:36, “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

Now, if we carefully read the above verses they explain about the Holy Spirit. So the question arises whom were they testifying? The answer is –none other than Jesus Christ!

When Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit was testifying, he was declaring that God has made Jesus whom you crucified, both the Lord and God. So, here the Holy Spirit testified and glorified Jesus.

If we read Acts 3:12–15, we will see that Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and then he healed a crippled man, but people stared at him thinking he did this through his own power and strength. Immediately, the Holy Spirit inside Peter started glorifying Jesus saying ‘Jesus is the source of life’. The faith that came through Jesus’ name healed the crippled beggar.

When we read Acts 4:12, Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus acknowledging, “…for there is no other name given under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Whereas, when we read Acts 5:32 we find the Holy Spirit described as the witness of Jesus. If we read further, Acts 7:54–56 we find Stephen filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit looked into heaven and saw the glory of God. Now, what was the glory of God that Stephen saw? ‘Jesus’, who is the Lord of the glory as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 2:8. He was so thrilled and overwhelmed by it that he did not even feel the pain of the stones that were pelted on him by people. The glory was so magnificent that he started praying to Jesus as we read in Acts 7:59–60.

If we study the entire book of Acts, we get to know that they are the acts of the Holy Spirit but whom was the Holy Spirit glorifying? To one and only one -‘Jesus Christ’! When we read through Acts 8:26, 29, 35, we realize in these verses that the angel of the Lord is directing Philip to go near the eunuch and the Holy Spirit is also saying the same thing, but once Philip gets near that eunuch — he is not talking about the angel or the Holy Spirit but he is talking about only one person, who is to be glorified — ‘His name is the Son of the Living God.’ In Acts 10:19–36, Peter was totally guided and controlled by the Holy Spirit to go to a gentile’s house named Cornelius but when he reached his house what did he preach? Undoubtedly, he preached about Jesus who is the Lord overall.

My Testimony - Apostle Winston Joseph, Ph. D

  Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

परमेश्वर मेरा प्रथम स्थान

                                भजन संहिता   १३९:१ हे यहोवा, तू ने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है। हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है इस अध्याय के, शुरुआत में भजनकार यह कहता है कि “ हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है,अर्थात परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को जाँचने के बाद ही जान लेता है’’|अब यहाँ पर सवाल यह उठता है कि परमेश्वर ऐसा क्यों करते है | जी हाँ, इस सवाल का जवाब काफी सरल है परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को इसलिए परखता है क्योंकि वह यह देखना चाहता है कि उस व्यक्ति का दिल “ परमेश्वर के प्रेम के प्रति है या नहीं ’’और ख़ासकर उस व्यक्ति के जीवन में उसका “प्रथम स्थान’’ है या नहीं | आपको एक बात हमेशा याद रखनी है कि आपको अपने पति, पत्नी, बच्चे या फिर धन — संपत्ति यानि सारी चीजों से बढ़कर और सबसे ऊँचा जो प्रेम करना है, वो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करना है | जैसे दाऊद राजा को परमेश्वर ने जाँच लिया था कि यह मेरे दिल के मुताबिक व्यक्ति है | परमेश्वर ने वाचा के अनुसार अब्राहम को बेटा दिया; जब उसकी उम्र सौ वर्ष की थी और बाद में उस बे...
