Holy Spirit God is one personality of
Trinity God having few names such as, Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ, Spirit of your Father, Holy Spirit.
It also has two different functions-
A. Saving Spirit, in Greek it calls PNEUMA.
B. Ministering/Counselor, in Greek it
calls PARACLAITOS.
If someone believes on Jesus Christ that
He came and sacrificed his life on cross for ones’ sin, and his blood washed
away our sin then the PNEUMA, in the
other word the saving Holy Spirit comes upon them. By receiving Pneuma one
becomes a child of GOD. This Pneuma has a saving function, it has sanctifying
function. When we receive Jesus then we become Christina. Because of Pneuma the
spirit of Jesus and the spirit of Father God abide us. In another word, when we
receive or invite Jesus in us we invite His spirit in our hurt.
As Romans 8:9,“But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His”. Also as Romans 8:11, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he
that raised up Christ from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies
by his Spirit that dwells in you”.
There is another Holy Spirit that
functions differently the ministering Holy Spirit which is calling PARACLETOS. PARA means ‘working along me’ and it works outside of us, CLETOS is ‘being invited’. All this
combined together, Spirit outside of me that wants to invite by us. Paraclaitos
flow inside the innermost part of mind to give eternal power. We have to ask
him to come upon me. In English Paracletos translated in many name. Some says
Comforter, Helper, Advocator; some said the Teacher, the councilor. All these
names are referring to Paracletos. We have to able to differentiate these
names. Both spirits are same in quality but different in their work. In Greek
this is call ALLOS.
On the day of
last supper, Jesus promised to his disciples to give Paraclaitos to help, guide
or council them (John 14:16, “And I will
ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be ever
with you”). It was Thursday evening as Jews time it was Friday beginning.
He said,‟ I will ask Father and he will sent
the ALLOS”. Friday He was crucified. Saturday was Sabbath. Sunday (third
day) He rose to life. This is the day when the believers (such as his
disciples) entered in to the kingdom of God. After 50 days of His raise it was
the time of Pentecost. When Jesus left He promised to His apostles that within
few days you will receive Paraclaitus the ALLOS. For 10 days the apostles cried
for ALLOS and for their humble prayer certification happened. Their Kardia
become clean day by day and ready to receive Paraclaitus.
In the day of Pentecost they were filled with it. They were baptized with
Holy Spirit. Act 2:2-3, (Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind
came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw
what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of
them), we can see that the Holy Spirit may come like Fire or Wind, like
Dove or like Light.
Also we need Paracletos for spiritual
fighting. In the Bible there are at list 4 ways of entering Paracletos.
1. As Acts 2:2-4, it comes like wind and fire,
2. As Matthew 3:16, it comes like Dove,
3. As Acts 9:3-4, it comes in the form of Light, and
4.
As John 7:38-39, it works inside like streams
water.
This
is Pneuma that works inside of us as
the fountain and generating water and washing away the bitter root. Hebrew
12:15, “Looking diligently lest any man
fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you,
and thereby many be defiled”. Jealousy, wrath, anger, slandering,
unforgiving, ungraceful, these are bitter root of our heart. The Holy Spirit in
us not only providing the eternal life but also purifies the bitter root of our
heart. Every day we have to meditate for this fountain the Pneuma.
We
have to pray to cleanse our bitter root in our mind. As we do this, in Romans
8:26, “Likewise the Spirit also helps us
in our weakness: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered”,
Pneuma inside of us will grow and remove our weakness. As we have regular
relation it will slowly-slowly clean. The prayer should be generate from the
bottom of our heart. Then He will send us the wind, fire and light. Fire will
burn and the asses will weep out through the wind. As we pressing, worshipping
this Paracletos will enter in me. We can visualize that. We can anticipate
that. When we receive Paracletos, sometimes we shake, sometimes we fell on the
floor, sometime speak tongue, sometimes laughing. To make it strong and to
receive the power of God we have to culture praising the Lord with songs and
instruments to warm up us with Holy Spirit. First we have to warm up with Psuke
and then, when can go to our pray. We can be a strong Christian believer and
will have crown in heaven by practicing these regularly.
As Proverbs 4:23, “Above
all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life” and as John 7:38 “Whoever believes in me as
the Scripture has said, streams of
living water will flow from within him”. Hear streams of living
water or wellspring is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is the
most powerful weapon. Through the word of God the Kardia will flow through
these streams of living water to remove the bitter root and it have two
functions_
a. Nutrition
– It is the spiritual food, as we meditate and swallow the word of God the
nutrition go through our body.
b. Double
Edged Sword – It is offensive function, Ephesians 6:17, Word of God has
the double edged sword functions that cut up and dig down in the root and
remove the dirty character of us.
