How well do you know the Holy Spirit? Many live their entire Christian life with the Spirit of God within, and yet fail to understand how He works in and through the believer. A true and growing knowledge of God includes knowledge of all three members of the Godhead – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit!

Like all spiritual truth, our understanding of the Holy Spirit must be rooted, not in our subjective experience, but in God’s eternal Word. The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself. If you want to know the Spirit, you must meet Him in the Scriptures.

“God is a Spirit” (John 4:24) and “no man hath seen God at any time” (John 1:18). Our understanding of the Holy Spirit does not come through physical sight; it comes through the eye of faith and the lens of the Word. In both the Old and New Testaments the Lord gives a variety of symbols which represent the person and work of His Spirit.

Our new Enjoying the Journey series begins next week, and I would like to invite you to join us as we open God’s inspired picture Book and see the Spirit in the Scriptures. Each symbol will give us yet another glimpse of the invisible God. Follow the new study on your favorite podcast player or at enjoyingthejourney.org.

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” – John 14:26

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
