WHEN IS ANYTHING REAL IF WE ARE NOT SURE THAT WE ARE ALIVE. But If We Are Sure That We Are Alive Why Do We Fear Death? Maybe those who possess the Holy Spirit have the answer.

Is the Holy Spirit real?

John the Baptist came on the scene claiming that the Messiah, who was to come after Him, and existed before him, was going to baptize people in the Holy Spirit.

This is what the Bible has to say:

• John bore witness to him, and cried, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.” (John 1:15) 

• I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. (Matthew 3:11)

• On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, “If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:37-39)

• Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. (Romans 5:1-5)

• In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13)

• But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:17-20)

• And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)

The above Scriptures bear witness to my experience of the Holy Spirit. Once a person receives the Holy Spirit, the person has no doubt about Lord Jesus Christ and his, or her, life changes. There are many who claim they have the Holy Spirit, but when pushed a little, they do not exhibit the fruit (Galatians 5:22-23), rather they are just like any other person. A person who possesses the Holy Spirit actually has God Himself residing within. The person is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and no longer merely a human being without God.
