Violent, rushing wind

Heaven's power imparted

Baptized with His fire!

-Acts 1:5, 2:1-4

When building naturally or spriritually a foundation must be laid. Any good builder will tell you bedrock is the most sure foundation. The Bible is our bedrock. To hit bedrock you have to dig.  Digging is work, but it's rewarding. At the end of digging is discovery! Much of the Bible is not difficult to understand and apply when you read it with your tutor - the Holy Spirit. He will teach you what the Bible means and how to apply it to become more like Christ.

Below are seven things the Bible says about the Holy Spirit:

• The Holy Spirit is God. (Acts 2:17-18)
• The Holy Spirit is a person not a thing. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as "He"not "It". (John 14:16-17)
• The Holy Spirit is also called the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17), the Spirit of the Father (Matthew 10:20), and the Spirit of the Son (Galatians 4:6).
• He is our Teacher and Helper. (John 14:26)
• He is our assurance that we are saved. (Ephesians 1:13, 1 John 4:13)
• The Holy Spirit empowers us to live sanctified which means set apart for God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)
• Jesus is the one who baptizes us in the Holy Spirit. (Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16)

I love the Holy Spirit! I'm so thankful that He lives in me and overflows out of me. You can have a well or a river of the Holy Spirit. A well benefits the owner. A river benefits many. Get baptized in the river. It's good! A few more scriptures to dig in to: Acts 2:14-18, Acts 10:34-48, Acts 11:15-17
