Day 4 - The Holy Spirit Is a Person

John 14:15-17

If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.

Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

2 Corinthians 13:14

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Wikipedia defines the physics of sailing with this sentence: "A sailing vessel moves forward because of the reaction of moving air on its sails." It goes on to say, "The most basic control of the sail consists of setting its angle relative to the wind."

The wind is alive. It is no wonder the inspired writers of the Bible used that word derivative to describe the Holy Spirit.

For those of us who are parents, do you remember finding out you were going to be a parent? Parents can now find out the gender of their baby pretty quickly. That’s when it really becomes real. That seems to be when we stop referring to the baby as "it," and call the child "he" or "she."

Similarly, when we come to recognize the Spirit's presence and accept that reality, He becomes a Being, a person...and someone real.

Does the Holy Spirit seem real in your life?

Do you want Him to seem real?
