| The Work of the Holy SpiritPosted May-19-08 05:52:13 PDT "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from a where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
John 3:8
Jesus explained that we cannot control the work of the Holy Spirit. He works in ways we cannot predict or understand. Just as you did not control your physical birth, so you cannot control your spiritual birth. It is a gift from God through the Holy Spirit. Contrary to popular belief, one's decision to accept Christ is not the moment of their spiritual birth. To be sure, the decision to accept Christ makes the spiritual birth possible by way of invitation. But it is ultimately the Holy Spirit who revives, regenerates, renews, invigorates the spirit within us to become more like Him. It is that Spirit within us that strengthens and encourages us to do His will. It is that same Spirit that provides the Peace that surpasses all understanding in the trials and tribulations that we will face day by day.
God bless you,
