Our Daily Interaction with The Persons Of The Trinity  

 

  • God The Father: Love, Pray to, and Worship  
  • God The Son: Study the Word, Follow, Obey, and Worship  
  • God The Holy Spirit: Acknowledge Him and Yield to Him 

 

God the Holy Spirit is In Us to HELP US

 

John 14:15 “If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate [Helper, Assistant, One called alongside to help.] (Amplified Bible: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit…” New Living Translation

 

John 14:17 “He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.” New Living Translation

 

John 16:5 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you. But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.” New Living Translation

 

How Do We Acknowledge The Holy Spirit? 

 

Ephesians 4:1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. New Living Translation  

 

Ephesians 4:17 With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. 18 Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him. 19 They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity. New Living Translation  

 

Ephesians 4:30 And do not bring sorrow [To cause grief] to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live.Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. New Living Translation  

 

1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench [To put a fire, to suppress] the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil. New International Version  

 

1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire [To long for. In the negative context it means to lust after.] gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. New International Version  

 

The Holy Spirit Gives Us Understanding of The Bible and Prompts Us to Put it into Practice 

 

John 16:13 “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, …” New International Version 

 

He Will Lead Us, Forbid, and Warn Us at Times  

 

Acts 18:5 When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. New King James Version  

 

Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by theHoly Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. New King James Version  

 

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to comeNew International Version 

 

Holy Spirit Can Pray Through You 

 

1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. New International Version  

 

1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unproductive [it bears no fruit and helps nobody]. 15 Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will also pray [intelligently] with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will sing [intelligently] with my mind and understanding also. Amplified Bible CE
