Individual relations to the Holy Spirit

There is need for every individual Christian to understand the

importance of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. Many Christians view
the Holy Spirit’s existence and works as just an occurrence that was
left to the past and may not be present in contemporary world.
Conversely, in the book of Acts, it is evidently presented that the Holy
Spirit was initially granted to the disciples, later transferred to the
early Jewish believers and ultimately to the Gentiles. It is in faith that
all those who believe posses the Holy Spirit that reside in them. But
not all those who believe grant the Spirit to shape their lives. Indeed,
we are powered to be filled with the Spirit but this depends on how
one live within God’s proper directions. Paul gives a precise case
where a believer should not be drunk with alcohol. A sense of great
peace is attained when one is filled with Holy Spirit and since the
Holy Spirit is so imperative, we are informed to not “quench or grieve
the Holy Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 4:30). For instance,
when we intentionally sin, we cease walking with the Spirit and at the
same time our conscience affirms that; we mislay the tranquility of
moving with the Spirit. A case in point when losing peace is derived
from David where he realized loss of peace in him. David sinned by
committing infidelity with Bathsheba. He sensed and beseeched
God to help him by not withdrawing the Holy Spirit away from him.

Actually, confessions affirm that if we have identified our sins and

agreed to repent; this puts us back on track with the Holy Spirit
through fellowship (Iverson: 4). Sin of any kind will diminish joy of the
Holy Spirit and consequently, one will be enslaved to the sin. Being
involved in spiritual endeavors like giving thanks to God, reciting
Psalms, singing spiritual songs and hymns will enable one to be filled
with the Spirit. Therefore, being filled entails setting our mentality on
divine possessions (Deem Rich: 1).
