A s born-again believers in Jesus Christ, we serve a triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Genesis 1:26 (AMP) God says, “Let Us [Fa- ther, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image….” This verse reveals God as the Trin- ity, and we need to worship and have relationship with each Per- son of the Godhead. It seems more common to hear people talk about God and Jesus, but the Holy Spirit does not get enough of our attention. It’s important to understand that He is a person who has a person- ality, a will, knowledge, a mind, and He thinks and knows things. For example, 1 Corinthians 2:11 (AMP) tells us that “no one dis- cerns (comes to know and com- prehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” In John 16:7 we learn some of the facets of His personality and how we need Him to work in our lives. In this verse Jesus says, “…If I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strength- ener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]” (AMP). This scripture teaches that He is our… Counselor—always go to God fi rst for counsel and let Him speak to you His way, through the people or things He chooses. Advocate—He pleads our case when we’re in trouble. Intercessor—He prays for us and through us when we don’t know how to pray on our own. Standby—He stands by us, ready to act on our behalf when we need something. Strengthener—He gives us God’s grace to do whatever we need to do in every situation. He’s all these things and so much more! God is literally ev- erything we need, and as we fel- lowship with the Holy Spirit, we can have “the mind of Christ… and…hold the thoughts (feel- ings and purposes) of His heart” (1 Corinthians 2:16). Learn the sound of His voice The Holy Spirit is the only One who fully knows the mind of God, so when we pray for God to give us wisdom or the knowl- edge we need, it’s important for us to realize the Spirit is in us (1 Corinthians 2:12; 6:19). And He communicates to us what He hears God say. John 16:13 ex- plains that He is “the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit)” and He guides us into the Truth. “For He will not speak His own message…but He will tell Please see JOYCE, Page 11A z å Vera Joyce Gier, 95, of Cot- tage Grove, died Jan. 6.
