3 signs that the Holy Spirit dwells in you! How do you recognize that you have the Holy Spirit in you?

[georgetrew4]

In today's video, we will present three selected signs that testify to the presence of the Holy Spirit in human life. The Holy Spirit is an extraordinary presence in the life of every believer. He enlightens our hearts, guides our steps and transforms our thoughts. Awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is one of the most precious gifts we receive as children of God. But how can we be sure that we actually have the Holy Spirit? In this video, we will focus on three selected signs that testify to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
These are not just empty declarations, but concrete signs that manifest in our daily activities and relationships. These signs not only confirm our acceptance of the Holy Ghost, but also help us grow spiritually and grow in our relationship with God. We encourage you to watch the film in its entirety, which reveals three signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. One of the signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is longing for God's presence. The Holy Spirit awakens in us the desire to be in close relationship with God and the longing for His presence.
This longing is one of the main signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Holy Spirit, being the Third Divine Person, is present inside us, leading us to get closer to God and fulfill this desire. In the Holy Scriptures we can find numerous examples of people who experienced longing for God's presence. David, one of the most important biblical figures, repeatedly expressed his desire to be close to God. In Psalm 42 we read: "As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God! My soul longs for God, the living God: when shall I come and see the face of God?
" saying, "My soul misses you at night and my spirit seeks you. These desires are an expression of a spiritual desire to get closer to God and experience His presence in our lives. The Holy Spirit who dwells in us as believers is the one who makes us yearn for God's presence. It is He who inspires our hearts to desire to draw closer to God, to pray, contemplate and worship Him. The Holy Spirit works within us, fueling our spiritual desire for His presence. Longing for God's presence manifests itself in various forms in our lives.
It may be a desire to spend time in prayer, where we talk to God and listen to His voice. It may be a desire to study the Scriptures where God reveals His teachings and truths to us. It can also be a desire to participate in the holy mass and services, where we can worship God together and listen to His Word. As we can see, longing for God's presence is a sign that the Holy Spirit is active in our lives. This longing is like a fire that burns in our heart and leads us to become more and more involved in our spirituality.
One way the Holy Spirit awakens a longing for God's presence is by reminding us of our spiritual hunger and need for conversion. We often feel that our spiritual lives require renewal and a deeper immersion in our relationship with God. The Holy Spirit shows us our imperfections, sins, and weaknesses so that we can direct our hearts to God. It is He who awakens in us the desire for purification, conversion and holiness. The Holy Spirit not only awakens our longing, but also fills it. When we open our hearts and allow ourselves to be guided by the Holy Spirit, we experience His presence, comfort and transformation. It is in His presence that we find true joy, peace, and strength to transform our lives.
Longing for God's presence, however, is not a one-off event, but a continuous process that develops in our spiritual life. The Holy Spirit constantly leads us to deeper spheres of relationship with God and longing for His presence. This is a sign of the dynamic work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Another sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is the spiritual fruits that emerge as a result of His work in our hearts and minds. Spiritual fruit is a beautiful manifestation of the spiritual transformation that takes place when we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives.
Spiritual fruit is listed in Galatians chapter five, where we read: "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." This is an amazing list of qualities that testify to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The first spiritual fruit is love. The love that the Holy Spirit pours into our hearts is the love of God that pervades our relationships with others. It is not love based on our strength or human feelings, but God's love, which is full of sacrifice and mercy. The Holy Spirit leads us to a love that forgives, serves, sustains, and bears witness to God. Another spiritual fruit is joy. The joy that comes from the Holy Spirit is not dependent on external circumstances.
It is a joy that comes from the certainty of salvation, the closeness of God and the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit pours joy into our hearts, which is an extraordinary source of strength and perseverance in difficult situations. Peace is another spiritual fruit. The Holy Spirit brings us a peace that surpasses understanding. It is the peace that reigns in our hearts, even in the midst of life's storms and difficulties. It is the peace that comes from knowing that God is with us and in control of every situation. The next Spiritual fruit is patience, which testifies to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Patience is the ability to persevere in difficult times, to tolerate the imperfections of others, and to wait for God to act. The Holy Spirit inspires patience in us, which comes from God's grace and power. It is He who teaches us to wait for His time and trust His plan. Kindness is another spiritual fruit. Courtesy means that we treat others with respect, kindness and care. The Holy Spirit shapes our attitudes and words so that we will be kind and gentle with others, regardless of the circumstances. The next Spiritual fruit is goodness. Kindness manifests itself in our willingness to help, support and do good to others.
The Holy Spirit transforms our hearts to become a source of God's goodness to others. Another Spiritual fruit is fidelity, which is inherent in a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit. Faithfulness means being steadfast in our commitments to God and others. Faithfulness, as a spiritual fruit, manifests itself in our ability to keep our promises, be reliable and loyal. The Holy Ghost strengthens our faithfulness so that we can be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and continue in our relationship with God.
Meekness is another spiritual fruit that manifests itself as our ability to deal with difficulties and conflicts humbly and meekly. The Holy Spirit shapes our attitudes so that we will be gentle in our words, reactions and actions towards others. Self-control, the last spiritual fruit, is present in our lives as the ability to control our emotions, thoughts and behavior. The Holy Ghost helps us control our desires, resist temptation, and behave in a way that is God's will. Spiritual fruit is the result of the inner transformation that the Holy Spirit brings about in our lives.
These are not qualities that we can create ourselves, but are the result of our cooperation with the Holy Spirit and our opening to His action in us. Spiritual fruitage not only affects our personal lives but also our relationships with others. When we are filled with the Holy Ghost and express spiritual fruit, our relationships become more harmonious, loving, and respectful. The presence of spiritual fruit in our lives is a visible sign that the Holy Spirit is active and active in us. It is also a testimony to other people about our faithfulness to God and our devotion to His service.
Bringing these fruits into our lives requires constant work and cooperation with the Holy Spirit. It is a lifelong process in which we become more like Jesus Christ and reflect His image in our actions. The final sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives discussed in this video is the desire to obey God. A person possessing the Holy Spirit wants to live according to God's will and is willing to obey His commandments. In today's world where everyone is striving for individualism and self-centeredness, obedience to God can be difficult. However, for a person who has the Holy Spirit, the desire to obey becomes natural and essential in his life. This is one of the clear signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our heart and mind. Jesus Christ, being the Son of God, was the perfect example of obedience to God the Father.
His whole life was full of devotion to the will of the Father and the realization of His plan of salvation. Jesus told his disciples, "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me." This is a clear statement that the true expression of love for Jesus lies in obedience to His commandments.

Obedience to God is not just a set of external commands and prohibitions, but results from a genuine desire and love for God. A person possessed of the Holy Spirit experiences a change of heart that leads to a desire to live according to God's will. This is not a forced necessity, but an expression of love for God.

The desire to obey God is the result of an intimate relationship with Him. When the Holy Spirit dwells within us, He transforms our desires and goals so that they become compatible with God's plans. Saint Paul wrote: "For God works in you, giving you both the will and the ability to do his good will." It is the work of the Holy Spirit that leads us to desire and strive to obey God. moral commandments, but also in submitting to His will in everyday life. This means that our decisions, choices and actions are guided by God's guidance. Jesus said: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "

This means that the desire to obey God also includes our spiritual food - the Word of God, which is our guide and source of wisdom. The desire to obey God also leads us to conversion and mortification. When the Holy Spirit reveals our sins and imperfections to us, we are willing to humbly change and turn away from evil ways. However, the desire to obey God is not just a matter of a one-time act of conversion. It is a process of continually developing our relationship with God and growing in holiness.

Jesus said, "If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me." clear signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This desire is the fruit of an intimate relationship with God, a change of heart, and spiritual growth. In conclusion,

in today's video we have found that a longing for God's presence, spiritual fruits, and a desire to obey God are clear indicators that the Spirit The saint is active in our hearts, these are the extraordinary gifts that God gives us to lead us to greater intimacy with Him and to a f

ull life in His glory.

 

[Behold]

2-3 things will change once you become a CHRISTian

1.) You'll see sin, you'll perceive it as you never saw it before. You'll become sin sensitive.

2.) "Christian stuff" will become attractive to you.

3.) Often, but not always,...tho especially early on..... you'll feel a desire to "talk about Jesus".....a lot.

[Cassandra]

Where is this "video" ?

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[rockytopva]

The Holy Spirit will certainly flow through a righteous lifestyle. I found him back in old Virginia...

1. Early to work
2. Large gardens in the PM
3. Hay fields as well
4. Wednesday night family night at the Pentecostal Holiness church
5. Town on Saturday
6. Church and family time on Sunday
7. Many revivals with wonderful evangelists

Testimony... I can imagine Paul telling his testimony time and time again. Mine is very similar to GC Rankin 100 years before me as I also started out in a very dry church...

1. The Very Dry Church - "Grandfather was kind to me and considerate of me, yet he was strict with me. I worked along with him in the field when the weather was agreeable and when it was inclement I helped him in his hatter's shop, for the Civil War was in progress and he had returned at odd times to hatmaking. It was my business in the shop to stretch foxskins and coonskins across a wood-horse and with a knife, made for that purpose, pluck the hair from the fur. I despise the odor of foxskins and coonskins to this good day. He had me to walk two miles every Sunday to Dandridge to Church service and Sunday-school, rain or shine, wet or dry, cold or hot; yet he had fat horses standing in his stable. But he was such a blue-stocking Presbyterian that he never allowed a bridle to go on a horse's head on Sunday. The beasts had to have a day of rest. Old Doctor Minnis was the pastor, and he was the dryest and most interminable preacher I ever heard in my life. He would stand motionless and read his sermons from manuscript for one hour and a half at a time and sometimes longer. Grandfather would sit and never take his eyes off of him, except to glance at me to keep me quiet. It was torture to me." - George Clark Rankin

2. The Breakthrough Wesleyan Holiness - GC Rankin had to move to his uncles after his grandfathers death... In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended my pistol-toting. I have never had one about my person or home to this good day. And I never will understand just why I had that one. A good dinner refreshed me and I soon unfolded my plans and they were satisfactory to my kind-hearted kinsman. He was in the midst of cotton-picking and that afternoon I went to the field and, with a long sack about my waist, had my first experience in the cottonfield. We then would get ready for the revival occurring that night…

After the team had been fed and we had been to supper we put the mules to the wagon, filled it with chairs and we were off to the meeting. When we reached the locality it was about dark and the people were assembling. Their horses and wagons filled up the cleared spaces and the singing was already in progress. My uncle and his family went well up toward the front, but I dropped into a seat well to the rear. It was an old-fashioned Church, ancient in appearance, oblong in shape and unpretentious. It was situated in a grove about one hundred yards from the road. It was lighted with old tallow-dip candles furnished by the neighbors. It was not a prepossessing-looking place, but it was soon crowded and evidently there was a great deal of interest. A cadaverous-looking man stood up in front with a tuning fork and raised and led the songs. There were a few prayers and the minister came in with his saddlebags and entered the pulpit. He was the Rev. W. H. Heath, the circuit rider. His prayer impressed me with his earnestness and there were many amens to it in the audience. I do not remember his text, but it was a typical revival sermon, full of unction and power.

At its close he invited penitents to the altar and a great many young people flocked to it and bowed for prayer. Many of them became very much affected and they cried out distressingly for mercy. It had a strange effect on me. It made me nervous and I wanted to retire. Directly my uncle came back to me, put his arm around my shoulder and asked me if I did not want to be religious. I told him that I had always had that desire, that mother had brought me up that way, and really I did not know anything else. Then he wanted to know if I had ever professed religion. I hardly understood what he meant and did not answer him. He changed his question and asked me if I had ever been to the altar for prayer, and I answered him in the negative. Then he earnestly besought me to let him take me up to the altar and join the others in being prayed for. It really embarrassed me and I hardly knew what to say to him. He spoke to me of my mother and said that when she was a little girl she went to the altar and that Christ accepted her and she had been a good Christian all these years. That touched me in a tender spot, for mother always did do what was right; and then I was far away from her and wanted to see her. Oh, if she were there to tell me what to do!

By and by I yielded to his entreaty and he led forward to the altar. The minister took me by the hand and spoke tenderly to me as I knelt at the altar. I had gone more out of sympathy than conviction, and I did not know what to do after I bowed there. The others were praying aloud and now and then one would rise shoutingly happy and make the old building ring with his glad praise. It was a novel experience to me. I did not know what to pray for, neither did I know what to expect if I did pray. I spent the most of the hour wondering why I was there and what it all meant. No one explained anything to me. Once in awhile some good old brother or sister would pass my way, strike me on the back and tell me to look up and believe and the blessing would come. But that was not encouraging to me. In fact, it sounded like nonsense and the noise was distracting me. Even in my crude way of thinking I had an idea that religion was a sensible thing and that people ought to become religious intelligently and without all that hurrah. I presume that my ideas were the result of the Presbyterian training given to me by old grandfather. By and by my knees grew tired and the skin was nearly rubbed off my elbows. I thought the service never would close, and when it did conclude with the benediction I heaved a sigh of relief. That was my first experience at the mourner's bench.

As we drove home I did not have much to say, but I listened attentively to the conversation between my uncle and his wife. They were greatly impressed with the meeting, and they spoke first of this one and that one who had "come through" and what a change it would make in the community, as many of them were bad boys. As we were putting up the team my uncle spoke very encouragingly to me; he was delighted with the step I had taken and he pleaded with me not to turn back, but to press on until I found the pearl of great price. He knew my mother would be very happy over the start I had made. Before going to sleep I fell into a train of thought, though I was tired and exhausted. I wondered why I had gone to that altar and what I had gained by it. I felt no special conviction and had received no special impression, but then if my mother had started that way there must be something in it, for she always did what was right. I silently lifted my heart to God in prayer for conviction and guidance. I knew how to pray, for I had come up through prayer, but not the mourner's bench sort. So I determined to continue to attend the meeting and keep on going to the altar until I got religion.

Early the next morning I was up and in a serious frame of mind. I went with the other hands to the cottonfield and at noon I slipped off in the barn and prayed. But the more I thought of the way those young people were moved in the meeting and with what glad hearts they had shouted their praises to God the more it puzzled and confused me. I could not feel the conviction that they had and my heart did not feel melted and tender. I was callous and unmoved in feeling and my distress on account of sin was nothing like theirs. I did not understand my own state of mind and heart. It troubled me, for by this time I really wanted to have an experience like theirs.

When evening came I was ready for Church service and was glad to go. It required no urging. Another large crowd was present and the preacher was as earnest as ever. I did not give much heed to the sermon. In fact, I do not recall a word of it. I was anxious for him to conclude and give me a chance to go to the altar. I had gotten it into my head that there was some real virtue in the mourner's bench; and when the time came I was one of the first to prostrate myself before the altar in prayer. Many others did likewise. Two or three good people at intervals knelt by me and spoke encouragingly to me, but they did not help me. Their talks were mere exhortations to earnestness and faith, but there was no explanation of faith, neither was there any light thrown upon my mind and heart. I wrought myself up into tears and cries for help, but the whole situation was dark and I hardly knew why I cried, or what was the trouble with me. Now and then others would arise from the altar in an ecstasy of joy, but there was no joy for me. When the service closed I was discouraged and felt that maybe I was too hardhearted and the good Spirit could do nothing for me.

2. The Breakthrough Wesleyan Holiness (Continued) - After we went home I tossed on the bed before going to sleep and wondered why God did not do for me what he had done for mother and what he was doing in that meeting for those young people at the altar. I could not understand it. But I resolved to keep on trying, and so dropped off to sleep. The next day I had about the same experience and at night saw no change in my condition. And so for several nights I repeated the same distressing experience. The meeting took on such interest that a day service was adopted along with the night exercises, and we attended that also. And one morning while I bowed at the altar in a very disturbed state of mind Brother Tyson, a good local preacher and the father of Rev. J. F. Tyson, now of the Central Conference, sat down by me and, putting his hand on my shoulder, said to me: "Now I want you to sit up awhile and let's talk this matter over quietly. I am sure that you are in earnest, for you have been coming to this altar night after night for several days. I want to ask you a few simple questions." And the following questions were asked and answered:

"My son, do you not love God?"
"I cannot remember when I did not love him."
"Do you believe on his Son, Jesus Christ?"
"I have always believed on Christ. My mother taught me that from my earliest recollection."
"Do you accept him as your Savior?"
"I certainly do, and have always done so."
"Can you think of any sin that is between you and the Savior?"
"No, sir; for I have never committed any bad sins."
"Do you love everybody?"
"Well, I love nearly everybody, but I have no ill-will toward any one. An old man did me a wrong not long ago and I acted ugly toward him, but I do not care to injure him."
"Can you forgive him?"
"Yes, if he wanted me to."
"But, down in your heart, can you wish him well?"
"Yes, sir; I can do that."
"Well, now let me say to you that if you love God, if you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin and if you love your fellowmen and intend by God's help to lead a religious life, that's all there is to religion. In fact, that is all I know about it."

Then he repeated several passages of Scriptures to me proving his assertions. I thought a moment and said to him: "But I do not feel like these young people who have been getting religion night after night. I cannot get happy like them. I do not feel like shouting."

The good man looked at me and smiled and said: "Ah, that's your trouble. You have been trying to feel like them. Now you are not them; you are yourself. You have your own quiet disposition and you are not turned like them. They are excitable and blustery like they are. They give way to their feelings. That's all right, but feeling is not religion. Religion is faith and life. If you have violent feeling with it, all good and well, but if you have faith and not much feeling, why the feeling will take care of itself. To love God and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, turning away from all sin, and living a godly life, is the substance of true religion."

That was new to me, yet it had been my state of mind from childhood. For I remembered that away back in my early life, when the old preacher held services in my grandmother's house one day and opened the door of the Church, I went forward and gave him my hand. He was to receive me into full membership at the end of six months' probation, but he let it pass out of his mind and failed to attend to it.

As I sat there that morning listening to the earnest exhortation of the good man my tears ceased, my distress left me, light broke in upon my mind, my heart grew joyous, and before I knew just what I was doing I was going all around shaking hands with everybody, and my confusion and darkness disappeared and a great burden rolled off my spirit. I felt exactly like I did when I was a little boy around my mother's knee when she told of Jesus and God and Heaven. It made my heart thrill then, and the same old experience returned to me in that old country Church that beautiful September morning down in old North Georgia.

I at once gave my name to the preacher for membership in the Church, and the following Sunday morning, along with many others, he received me into full membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It was one of the most delightful days in my recollection. It was the third Sunday in September, 1866, and those Church vows became a living principle in my heart and life. During these forty-five long years, with their alternations of sunshine and shadow, daylight and darkness, success and failure, rejoicing and weeping, fears within and fightings without, I have never ceased to thank God for that autumnal day in the long ago when my name was registered in the Lamb's Book of Life.
