I have often wondered why many Christians I have come across can tell me who God and Jesus is but have no clue who the Holy Spirit is. So many over look Him and end up selling themselves short. Biblically I cant help but to reference Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1 -10. They lost their lives due to grave misjudgment regarding the Holy Spirit. Most likely they knew who God was and they knew who Jesus was but according to scripture they “lied to” and “tested” the Holy Spirit and paid an expensive price for it. I wonder how many people out there are trying to know and be known by God all the while excluding 1/3 of the trinity.
My point is In John 14:26 Jesus said “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” Jesus said this to his followers knowing that when things got crazy and they would completely forget all that they had experienced with Jesus and ran out of fear.
Isn’t this the very thing we do. Things get crazy and we forget all we have experienced with Jesus and respond to our fears. It is the Holy Spirit that reminds us of these things and guides us on the right path. But remember, The disciples sought after the Holy Spirit in the upper room. We can’t seek after what we are not aware of. I wonder how many Christians are actually seeking after Holy Spirit. More and more I see people casually hoping He will show up in there lives but not pursuing Him at all. I would imagine how desperate the disciples were to receive the promised Spirit of God. How eager they were to walk in Him as Jesus said they could. I believe that same urgency and desperation is the cure for the struggling christian. If God(Father, Son and ,Holy Spirit) is in love with us as much as I belive He is, He must love for us pursue him. Again, I find it odd that we only want to pursue 2/3 of Him.
