       Today I will talk about the work of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. Perhaps never has there been more confusion with any subject within God’s church other than that of the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. Some want to paint the picture of a limited Spirit, while others what to paint the picture of an overly dramatic Spirit. Well, today, my hope is not to paint either of these pictures, but rather to tell you, from the pages of Scripture, some of the different ways the Spirit of God helps us as believers from day-to-day. As we all know, or should know by now, we, as Christians, receive the Holy Spirit when we first believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior (Acts 8:17, 19:2). Jesus promised his disciples in John chapter 16 that the Spirit of Truth would come to them, and as we all know he did come in Acts chapter 2. And, so, the Spirit dwells in us. In fact, the Apostle Paul would say, “Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him” (Romans 8:9, ESV).
