‘I will praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are the works; and that my soul knoweth right well;
(Psalm 139:14)

The Holy Spirit considers your body His dwelling place.

‘What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?’
(1 Corinthians 6:19)

‘Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?’ (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Your body is His temple!

The Holy Spirit was involved in the creation of the earth at the beginning. ‘And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters’. (Genesis 1:2)

The Holy Spirit is the One sent to form new creations on earth. ‘Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created:
and Thou renewest the face of the earth’. (Psalm 104:30)
‘His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and His power pierced the gliding serpent’. (Job 26:13)

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Life within us that keeps us living and breathing every single moment.
‘The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life’. (Job 33:4)

‘Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord…And shall put My spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord’(Ezekiel 37:5,6,14)

The Holy Spirit also is the One that gives us the new life after your second birth, the regeneration. All three persons of the Trinity are mentioned in these verses because all three participate in the work of salvation. Based on the redemptive work of His Son, the Father forgives us and sends the Holy Spirit to wash away our sins and continually renew us. ‘But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;’
(Titus 3:4-6)

The Holy Spirit is the Source of your life…every part of your life.

‘Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the Spirit:
for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life’. 2 Corinthians 3:6

The Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, the mother of Jesus. Think about this incredible truth.
The Holy Spirit is the One who ushered in the entry of Jesus, the Son of God, into the earth.

‘Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost…But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost’. (Matthew 1:18,20)

Any words spoken by the Holy Spirit will bring life and energy into you.

‘The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.
The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life.
But some of you do not believe me’. (John 6:63-64)

Without the work of the Holy Spirit, we cannot even see our need for new life. The Holy Spirit is the life of God dwelling within you. ‘Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him:
but Ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you’. (John 14:17)

The Spirit of Life is one of the titles of the Holy Spirit.

‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.’ (Romans 8:2)

The Holy Spirit will breathe life into every person who died in Christ, at the coming of Christ.
The Spirit is within us now by faith, and by faith we are certain to live with Christ forever.

‘But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by His Spirit that dwelleth in you’. (Romans 8:11)

The Holy Spirit is the Enabler that helps you to keep and protect any good thing God has given you.
‘That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
(2 Timothy 1:14)

We can look around us at the incredible animals, antelope, llamas, sheep, goats, camels, the beautiful white and blue peacocks, and behold the incredible imagination of the Holy Spirit in the many ways He sees methods to generate life and create life! The Holy Spirit thought of the beautiful trees, new plants springing forth, flowers blooming, multi-coloured, multi-sized species of fish and water creatures that were created for water. He thought of this. How glorious! The Holy Spirit is the Giver of all life. He has thought of a million ways to bring life into this earth.

The most exciting part for You, is that You were His idea.
You are not alone.
You have a destiny.
You are on His mind all the time.
You are the focus of everything the Holy Spirit will do today.

There are five misconceptions about joy. Many think joy comes from people, promotion, progress, power or possessions. The wise person discovers the truth. The Holy Spirit creates joy within us every moment that He is pleasured. When we pleasure Him through total obedience, we will feel what He is feeling. When we grieve Him and bring Him sorrow, we will feel what He is feeling.

For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17

The Holy Spirit will give us joy in the midst of our most difficult and fiery trials. His joy enables us to keep doing our Assignment in the midst of threats. When the Holy Spirit controls our life, our words will become catalysts for blessing.

HE is our only true Source of peace…the absence of inner conflict. His Presence brings peace. When we obey His instructions a calmness will enter our spirit. The greatest warfare of our life is the Holy Spirit versus our flesh and self. When we permit the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our life, we will enter the most remarkable and unforgettable season of calm and inner peace we could imagine.

Man cannot give this peace. Popularity does not create this kind of peace. Wealth cannot produce this peace. Psychiatrists cannot produce this kind of peace. A loving mate does not produce this kind of peace.

Uncommon peace is a gift from an uncommon God. ‘And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
The Holy Spirit helps us to develop the mind of Christ. Romans 8:6.
He causes the weary to rest, and this is refreshing. Isaiah 28:12; 26:3.

The Holy Spirit will give us discernment regarding our friendships. Fault-finding words create a climate of conflict, anger and cynicism…from such we are to turn away. 'Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape the devil’s trap . For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.' 2 Timothy 2:23-25. When the Holy Spirit is in leadership, we will discern these people quickly.

You are a door or a wall. You can become a wall against cynicism, discouragement and pessimism. Or you can be a door of entry for others to walk into joy. Sometimes it is necessary to become a wall against things that are unholy, unrighteous, and that bring unhappiness, yet, Oh, how I want to become the Door for the presence of God to enter

The Holy Spirit will give you the courage and strength to withdraw from the company of foolish people. This increases your peace. Pessimism and despondency can come through the words of one person. In proverbs 14:7 we are told to stay away from fools.

Three Ways the Holy Spirit Uses the Word of God in our Life.
1. The Word of God is the instrument of peace for the Holy Spirit to use. Psalm 119:165.
2. When the Word of God is sown continuously in our heart, it grows a harvest of peace. Isaiah 26:3. `How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!’ Romans 10:15
3. We must embrace the Word of God as the most effective instrument for change. 2 Timothy 3:16,17.

Five signs that someone is not word-conscious.
1. They discuss their warfare, instead of the promise of victory.
2. They discuss their doubts, instead of their faith in God.
3. Their focus in their enemy, instead of their Comforter.
4. If the Word of God were dominating their mind, it would dominate their mouth.
5. If the Word dominated their mind, it would influence their conduct and behavior.

The Holy Spirit inspired the Scriptures. HE affects our words. HE uses the Word of God to bring peace into our hearts. Don’t throw it away, Don’t treat it lightly.

Four tips for creating a peaceful climate.
1. Recognize that conflict is the trap for distraction. Don’t sacrifice a marriage or friendship because of one sentence spoken in a day. That is demonic, It is satanic. It is not even logical. The purpose was to break our focus on things that are worthy. Philippians 4:7,8
2. We determine our own focus. It is our own personal decision. Whatever we are feeling is produced by our focus. We must stop and take time to change our focus
3. Pay any price to protect your focus on right things. Mark 9:43,45; Isaiah 26:3
4. The Holy Spirit is our true Source of love. Love is the most powerful force on earth…because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with love. Romans 5:5
