Dear Friends,
The mystery of the symbol of the GOLDEN CANDLESTICK has been revealed. We have seen
according to Zechariah 4:1-10, Revelation 4:5 and Revelation 5:6, that The GOLDEN CANDLESTICK reveals the Ministry of The Blessed HOLY SPIRIT and His SEVEN OPERATIONS at work in the lives of God's people.
It is s must that we understand the MINISTRY of THE HOLY SPIRIT, as we study concerning developing a deep, rich, real and intimate walk with Jesus, because you and I cannot develop a rich fellowship and communion with the MASTER, JESUS, apart from THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The HOLY SPIRIT is the REPRESENTATIVE of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in the earth. So if we
are to walk in intimacy with Jesus, we will have to do so through this most vital and necessary
ministry of God's Spirit, WHo has been sent from HEAVEN to reveal Jesus to us.
There is much confusion concerning THE HOLY SPIRIT and His place in our lives, but it really does not have to be that way. God's Word gives us details of THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT that any honest student of God' s Word can see, if we are willing to look past our prejudices and traditional beliefs about THE HOLY SPIRIT, drop our dogmas that does not agree with GOD'S TRUTH and simply come before THE FATHER GOD, in humility of heart and ask HIm to reveal the ministry and work of THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT to us.
The HOLY SPIRIT is a PERSON, NOT A THING, NOR A FORCE. HE IS A PERSON. HE IS GOD. HE IS ALL-POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING and EVERYWHERE. HE IS GOD. HE IS THE
SPIRIT OF GOD.
AS GOD, we need to learn to reverence and respect and regard HIM most highly and learn of HIM and from HIM, for HE IS THE LIVING CHRIST, LIVING IN US. JESUS DWELLS IN US BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT.
Pause and think about this for just a minute. The HOLY SPIRIT IS CHRIST IN US, THE HOPE OF GLORY. HE IS THE GREATER ONE LIVING IN US and HE IS GREATER Than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
Seeing then that THE HOLY SPIRIT is the REPRESENTATIVE of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and that we need to fellowship with HIM and through Him develop an intimacy with our Lord
Jesus Christ, we need to learn what we can about HIM.
We will look at THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT from these three angles:
1. HIS INDWELLING
2. HIS IN-FILLING
3. HIS FELLOWSHIP & COMMUNION
We will begin with HIS INDWELLING in our next lesson together. By the way, my new book, HUMILITY and the HONOR OF GOD will assist you greatly as you follow on to know the Lord. If you have not already done so, please get a copy at your local Christian Bookstore or online at www.christianbooks.com.
