HE’S NOT JUNIOR! (The Holy Spirit: God Himself At Work In You)

TO THE BIBLE
John 14:10 AMPC “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).”
LET’S TALK
Some people don’t really understand the person of the Holy Spirit: they think He’s the most junior member of the Trinity as He’s always mentioned last, that is, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That’s so wrong because the Holy Spirit is the active agent of the Godhead. He’s the power of God, and He carries out all the acts of God. Everyone born into this world was created and formed by the Holy Spirit, and everything God does outside of His throne is done by the Holy Spirit. Nothing works without the Holy Spirit; there’s no life without Him. That’s amazing!
In John 14:10 above, the Lord Jesus identifies the Holy Spirit as the Father that dwells in Him and does the miraculous works. A key fact to recognise in your life, as a Christian, is this: The Holy Spirit in your life is your key to extraordinary and absolute success. None of those who walked with Him were ever defeated or failures. Everyone who received Him gained the mastery and became champions. This is the reason many Christians today need to know for sure who the Holy Spirit is and His ministry in their lives. He is Himself, God.
If you were to carry out an assignment—maybe win souls or hold a meeting in church—except you do it by the power of the Holy Spirit, there’ll be no impact. The Bible says, “For it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 NASB); that’s referring to the Holy Spirit.
You can’t do God’s work or even live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit (read Zechariah 4:6) It’s for the same reason that He wants us perpetually filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). The Holy Spirit is God at work in you, building you, and building others through you.

Pray
Dear Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who has come to take His abode in the quarters of my heart, permanently. In all that I do, I acknowledge Him as my Helper, Comforter, Counsellor, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. I’m totally dependent on His power, taking advantage of His divine ability, strength and wisdom at work in me, to fulfil my purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
