For some, it's hearing voices or names. For others, it's seeing images or having strange dreams. And for many, it's speaking in tongues. These things are viewed as weird by most, but as we take this journey through the book, we'll learn that these things are gifts, not burdens. They should be embraced rather than suppressed. The Holy Ghost is talking through you. It may just be whispers at first, but if you listen closely, you can start to hear it loud and clear. Will you run from the gifts God have given you? Or will you take your gifts and turn them into something more?
The most wonderful description of the Holy Spirit I have ever read in my bible is that of Comforter. I never understood much about Him. Neither did I have any intimacy with Him. The Holy Spirit was this mystical being that had incredible power. Of course, He does has power. In fact, He is the power of God. And yet, He has a personality just like we do. He is sensitive, just like we are. I never read anywhere where I was told not to grieve the Father or the Son, but the Scriptures do tell us not to grieve the Holy Spirit. He is special. He is innocent. And He yearns to have fellowship with us. Who is the Holy Spirit? Where does He dwell and what does He do in the life of the Believer? These are some of the questions we'll discover together as we meditate upon this book. And if there's anything you should take way from this reading, it's that, He is the Comforter.
