[net.religion.christian] Holy Spirit

The holy spirit has become a very important part of my life since He give
-s the power to live the christian life to its fullest.  The spirit is the
life of God.  It is hard for me to see Him as a person, but the Bible 
teaches that He is.  The spirit of God is what lives inside of us when we
bow our heart and life to Jesus.  It is a direct connection to God Himself
and allows communication both ways any time because as Jesus said, the 
kingdom of God is within you.  Without the Holy Spirit, we would have no
relations with Jesus or the Father.  The three are inseparable.  I wont
get into the gifts of the Holy Spirit but they are a real important part
of my life as well.  Those are the manifestations of the power of God.
As a person is dead without their spirit inside them, so is a relationship
with God without His spirit inside you.

I have found that being baptized in the Spirit has given a much 
greater ability to speak with wisdom in needed situations.  To have
the Holy Spirit speak through me to others.
