The Holy Spirit

 

 

We may hear choice preachers
Expound God's written Word,
But, unless the Holy Spirit teaches,
It's as though we'd never heard.
He gives light to darkened hearts,
And sight to blinded eyes,
And the precious Truth He imparts
Is eternally realized.
He never speaks of Himself
As He functions here on earth,
But draws lost souls to Christ,
Repentance, and new birth.
He's the One sent by our Lord
To comfort, teach, and Guide,
Entering our hearts at salvation
Forevermore to abide.
He's the third person of the Trinity,
Equal with the Father and Son;
Each have different functions,
Yet, our God is One.
The Holy Spirit can be blasphemed,
Rejected, quenched, and grieved;
Or He can be heard and followed,
Submitted to, and received.
Father, help us to depart from evil,
And all known sin,
As we learn to listen to The Holy Spirit-
Your still, small voice within.

 

"For there are three that bear record in heaven,
The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
Jesus said: "and I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
...he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
"...the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things..."
"...he will guide you into all truth...He shall glorify me..."
(I.John 5:7; John 14:16,17,26; 16:13,14)
