Engaging the Spirit

<p>Have you ever wondered why some people seem so confident in their spiritual lives? Do you wonder why some people can express joy and understanding amid trials and tribulations? For many the reason is the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. </p><p.In Engaging the Spirit author Bill Shea reminds believers that Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to those who have accepted him as Lord and Savior. By coming to know the Holy Spirit and having him become engaged in all aspects of your life you can receive the spiritual gifts and fruits of the Spirit which will help you navigate all the dark valleys of life. But just as we can expect blessings from the Holy Spirit we too must learn who he is what he expects of us and what responsibilities we have as Christians to be filled with the Spirit. </p><p>God has provided his Spirit to comfort you in times of sorrow guide you in times of confusion of questioning and strengthen you against adversaries you might encounter. When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you received the Holy Spirit as well. So just as you put your trust and faith in God know what it means to also put your trust and faith in the Holy Spirit.</p>
