I am sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

I am the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? The Holy Spirit makes His home in me!  That means he hangs out…

Hide and Seek

Numbers 11:26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. The people of…

The Holy Spirit Prays

Romans 8:26-27 For we don’t even know what we should pray for, now how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us… And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. As humans we have a…

The Holy Spirit, Moses, and Prophecy

Numbers 11: 25 …He [The Lord] took some of the Spirit that was upon Moses and put it upon the seventy leaders. They prophesied as the Spirit rested upon them. Some Thoughts – If just a small part of “Moses’” Spirit reset upon the men and it caused them to prophecy, can you only imagine…
