PURPOSE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

 



There are many reasons for it, but the most important reason we get is when we meditate Hebrews 12:9. Let us note the word ‘disciplined’ in the above verse. In Greek, the meaning for the original word is- a) to instruct, b) the one who corrects.

So the Holy Spirit enters our spirit man to instruct us and to correct us. Then what is our role? Our role is to revere Him and hold Him at high esteem, to walk all the days of our lives with Him, i.e., to listen to His instructions and take His corrections, which will eventually make us ‘one spirit with Him, as 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, “But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.” The original word of ‘one spirit’ is ‘be united’; it is an ongoing process which continues till we are alive on this earth. As this process goes on we ought to change from one degree of glory to another degree. As 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” In other words, we are a direct expression of His being. Thus we can conclude that the Holy Spirit lives inside our spirit man.

If we turn to the scripture, 1 Corinthians 2:4 says “…but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,” and Zechariah 4:6 says, “… ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’…” wherein we clearly read that the Spirit of the Lord is not might or power but He is an individual who has power. Besides, Hebrews 12:9 tells us that the Holy Spirit is the Father of all spirits. I repeat, He is a person — not an influence or power as some put it. Holy Spirit is an individual, an entity who abides in a person just as evil spirit lives in and takes hold of a person. Mark 9:20 tells us when the evil spirit saw Jesus, immediately the boy went in convulsion proving that the evil spirit had taken total authority of the body. Hence, we conclude that the Holy Spirit is a person who abides inside the human body just like the evil spirits that can take hold of a person.

Testimony:

16 years ago, I met two people who were suffering from the disease of AIDS. As soon as these two people came to know that they have AIDS then they both became very hopeless and gave up their desire to live. In such a situation someone told them about our prayer meeting. When I met them, seeing these two men, the Holy Spirit who lives in me and who is the father of all spirits, encouraged me to prophesy on both of them. On one of them I laid my hands and prophesied that I take his guarantee that he won’t die, but live. This person believed on my prophecy. As soon as I prayed for that person, the spirit of AIDS which had control over his body left him that very moment and Holy Spirit took control over his body. This way the person whose guarantee I took is still alive even after 16 years and the person whose guarantee I didn’t take he died.

You might be wondering how did it happen?

This happened not by strength nor by the power but through the Holy Spirit.

Though the Holy Spirit is symbolically represented as a dove but He is certainly not a dove. If the Holy Spirit is a dove then Jesus would be a lamb according to John 1:29–32. As Jesus is symbolically represented as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, in the same way the Holy Spirit is symbolically represented as a dove for his gentle nature.

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...

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...

CELEBRATION OF SALVATION

  The Monthly Devotional E-magazine for December titled  "CELEBRATION OF  SALVATION"  by their Excellency, Apostle Winston Joseph and Sister Parveen Winston  is now available for all Partners of AWJM.  Many a man has been looking for salvation. They assume that they would receive salvation through some knowledgeable person or through some religious performance that is like saying that their act would take them through. Of course, we honour them those knowledgeable and wise men who have done well for the country today and are gone There are some exemplary in whose  honour we have  names of roads, flyovers, towns, railway stations, airports, colleges, universities etc. However, redemption is impossible through knowledgeable or wise men or through religious performance because to redeem men is not in the hands of men. In reality, it is only the Bible that says, ‘Every human must attain salvation’ but the question remains how? Salvation is the Preciou...
