How many of us are conscious every morning that the Holy Spirit wants to walk through the day with us? When Paul wrote, “The fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:13), he wanted us to understand that the Holy Spirit has a personality. The Spirit wants to help and empower us today—and fill us with His peace.
Message:
FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
Text: 2 Corinthians 13:14 NLT

It is God’s plan and will for every Christian to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and be equipped to be an overcoming Christian.
2 Corinthians 13:14 NLT
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
“Fellowship” – Relationship, intimacy, communication
Today, Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father and His presence is known to us thru the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The reason the world (unsaved people) cannot receive Him is because they are living by their five senses: Sight, Hearing, Touch, Smell, and Taste.
Even as Christians, we have a hard time understanding the things of the Spirit because we have trained ourselves to either: see it, feel it, be able to touch it.
God is not in the “improvement business.”
He wants to get rid of the “old man” completely.
He wants to make all things new.
The Holy Spirit, being a person, has feelings and we can “grieve” the Holy Spirit.
Thank God for His precious Holy Spirit who can lead, guide, and save us from trouble.
