God's blessing

Acts chapter 7 verse 55.
"But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily upward into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at God's right hand."

What does it mean to be full of the Holy Spirit? It is the glory of God living inside you. It is His joy for you loving Him and Your joy for Him loving you.
   You can believe in God and even be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, but when the Holy Spirit comes into your life, then it is like having total understanding of what you believe.
   A good example would be a project that you want to take on, but do not have instructions to follow. You have an idea of what it should look like and the steps you need to take in order to be successful, but it is only when you see everything coming together that you are happy and confident that what you want to accomplish is going to happen. 
   When the Holy Spirit enters into your life it is like having your eye's opened to see that God and Jesus are real and that all their promises are real and they will be forever with you. The Holy Spirit inspires you to be focused on God. He is your want to read the bible and your connection to God. You understand God's ways and want nothing else but to follow after a life that pleases Him.
   The Holy Spirit brings Jesus into your heart. Jesus is no longer someone who died on a cross, but that He is God's Son. He is God's representative who came to show us God's love for all people. The Holy Spirit shows us that Jesus is our Messiah, our Savior. We totally understand that Jesus not only died for our sins but that He rose from the grave to His place of honor next to God where He prays constantly for all people.
   We see how the Holy Spirit was with Jesus and that the same Holy Spirit is now with us. Jesus called upon the Holy Spirit to be with Him so that God was present in His life. That is what happens when you call upon the Holy Spirit to enter a room. You actually can feel the atmosphere soften and hear joy in the voices of people. Life with God is truly being reborn again into His family where living is nothing like you would expect it to be.
   You are already considered as God's child, so all you have to do is call upon Him. Yes, physically call out, "God I need your help." Tell Him how lost you have been and that you want to come to know Jesus. Then get to know Jesus and how He is your guide home. The moment you enter into God's Kingdom then you will be filled with His Holy Spirit and that is when all of how you saw living before, actually changes into the glory of God.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and for Your Holy Spirit who fills us with the joy of life in Your presence. 😊

Acts chapter 8 verses 15-17.
"As soon as they arrived, they began praying for these new Christians to receive the Holy Spirit, for as yet He had not come upon any of them. For they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit."

James chapter 4 verses 5 and 6.
"What do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? But He gave us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings."

Matthew chapter 28 verses 19 and 20.
Jesus told them; "Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you; and be sure of this---that I am with you always, even to the end of the world."
