The Need for the Holy Spirit

Acts 9:31 KJV
[31] Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, **and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost**, were multiplied.

The Lord has been bringing thoughts of the Holy Spirit to my mind lately, it's becoming apparent to me that the Holy Spirit is more than a doctrine, he is a living person, he is a reality in the Christian life. I was amazed at when Thomas told Jesus "Lord show us the Fat...her" and Jesus said "have I been so long time with you and yet has thou not known me Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father".

I can remember times if my life wondering where God was, I can remember times where I begged God to show himself to me. I can remember times telling God I just want to be with him. But it's as if the Holy Spirit said to me today:

"Jordan, have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me? He that hath experienced me, hath experienced Christ and the Father."

The Holy Spirit is a great gift in the Christian life, Lord teach me to walk in the comfort of the Holy Ghost.

 

bump, we all need this reminder.
