Your Spirit Man and The Holy Spirit
Once you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you automatically get the Holy Spirit too!
This way, your spirit is sealed in its illumination!
Remember that the presence of the Holy Spirit in the book of Genesis, from Chapter 1, enabled the creation of the world?
In the same way, the Holy Spirit in the life of a new believer begins to set things in order!
He separates the believer from every work of darkness, old habits, old friends, and old sins are eliminated from every believer's lifestyle! The believer becomes thirsty for the things of God
He or she longs for righteousness, peace, joy, and more of the Kingdom of heaven on earth!
The spirit in man and the Holy Spirit become one! According to the scriptures
1 Corinthians 6:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
In essence, immediately you receive the Lord Jesus into your heart, the Holy Spirit takes over the affairs of your spirit, and he sets you on a path of the kingdom on your heart!
He changes your desires, your utterances, your hobbies, your habits, your lifestyle, your mindset, your culture, and every other thing!
You are now saved, sanctified, and justified!

Just like Jesus was before His baptism!
The Bible made it very clear that Jesus was the son of God right from his birth, and He was full of the Holy Spirit
Matthew 1: 18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with Child through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was conceived through the Holy Spirit
Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus was also able to work miracles and make disciples
But after His Baptism, according to Luke 3: 21-23
When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” 23 Jesus Himself was about thirty years old when He began His ministry.
Something dramatic happened!
Even though Jesus had the Holy Spirit in him from the womb, the heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him bodily (like a dove in movement) the Holy Spirit is not a dove! The Holy Spirit is a person! His form is that of a human! Just like your human spirit is just your shape and form so is the Holy Spirit!
The scripture here only described how the form moved as it descended on him BODILY!
Note also that Jesus had already been baptized when the heaven opened! The scripture says "As Jesus was praying, the Holy Spirit descended on him in a bodily form like a dove followed by a voice from heaven!
Please note the following
1)Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
2) Jesus was never without the Holy Spirit all his life
3) John the Baptist (Also born full of the Holy Spirit) confirmed the superiority of the life and purpose of Jesus to the world
NOTE: John Testifies About Jesus
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”
4) JESUS while praying after his baptism received the Holy Spirit bodily!
5)After Jesus received the Holy Spirit bodily, he began his ministry in earnest!
Jesus also breathed on his disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit...
John 20: 21 Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also, I am sending you.” 22 When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
But afterwards he told them to wait for the enduement of power from above!
Wait for the Holy Spirit
Acts 1: 4-8
4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
The Ascension
(Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53)
6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
They were promised POWER after the Holy Ghost is come upon then and then they can produce results in ministry!
We can do ministry with the person of the Holy Spirit and our will power.
We can also do ministry with the person of the Holy Spirit and the Power of the Holy Spirit
To get the power of the Holy Spirit, we must ask for it and begin to pray in other tongues!
The secret behind the light of a believer shinning brighter and brighter in a dark world is the power of the Holy Spirit!
The power of the Holy Spirit is like a generator that ensures that the light you got from Jesus upon your salvation continues to shine so much that it also lights up other people through you in the name of Jesus, healing them of their infirmities bringing them bringing them the full salvation package in the name of Jesus!
You need the Holy Spirit!
Not only the person of the Holy Spirit that lighted you up when you came to Christ, but the power of the Holy Spirit that keeps your light shining brighter and brighter every day to the glory of God the father!
Pray in the Holy Ghost now!
Not only the person of the Holy Spirit that lighted you up when you came to Christ but the power of the Holy Spirit that keeps your light shining brighter and brighter every day to the glory of God the Father! Ice, in a crusade, healing the sick, raising the dead, commanding situations and circumstances, stilling storms, calming winds, paralyzing demons and curing the incurable
See yourself walking about your locality like Jesus, pay attention to those you have seen on wheelchairs, blind, lame, the maimed and infirm in your community and ministering to these people! See yourself with your family members and friends, those you know their cases and issues, and you have been desiring change for, lay hands on them and bless them! Heal their bodies, heal their souls, heal their spirits!
Those that are unsaved, lay your hands on them and command them to be saved! See the light permeating their body soul and spirit!
Pray on the Holy Ghost and begin to decree by the stirring of the Holy Spirit!
Make sure this exercise lasts for at least one hour
