Holy Spirit?

Here lately I have had this desperate hunger to learn more about the Holy Spirit and just what his role is in this whole scheme of things. The more I study the more I am blown away by the fact that the Holy Spirit is the power of God in us. If you don't have confidence in yourself...that's okay. Our good works are like filthy rags compared to the works of our Father in heaven. SO...if the Holy Spirit places God's power within us...imagine what we could do FOR HIM and THROUGH HIM! WOW!

We may have limitations on what we believe we are capable of...but are we putting limits on God?

I'll leave you with some words from Jesus in John 14.

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

"If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."--
John 14:11-21
