Good Morning! Hope everyone had a Wonderful Sunday, I know I did. This Vs was pointed out to me by my oldest Brother and has really changed my thinking here of late. John 16:8 When He comes, He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgement. I had a guy ask me one time in group, "How do you know if you have the Holy Spirit?" Well first off The Holy Spirit is God himself! But why does he come to live in us? Well, He comes to convict us of our sin. Its just like for me I have to admit to myself that I am an Alcoholic and I can never drink again. The Spirit makes us admit to ourselves we are sinners. We cannot come to Christ unless we admit this fact. But when we do this and give our lives to Jesus, that is when the Spirit convinces us of the truth about Christ the Savior. For there is No Condemnation in Christ Jesus! When we realize that, that is when the Holy Spirit comes in and changes our lives. When we give our lives to Jesus and trust Him as our Savior, the Spirit renews our souls and brings the life of God into us. And what does that do? It gives our lives a new direction. We begin to have Joy and Peace in our lives, it changes our outlook on life. You know I said I was an Alcoholic, well I have to remind myself of that, but the Spirit reminds me that. That is my past and because of the Blood of Jesus I am no longer that person today! The other thing the Spirit does is produces fruit in our lives. He changes our thoughts, our words, our actions and our motives. It starts to produce in us Love, Joy, Peace, Patience and all the other fruits of the Spirit that you will find in Gal 5:22-23. So today have you yielded yourself to the Holy Spirit? You will know, if you know that you are a sinner, but by our Savior Jesus Christ and His blood you are no longer under judgement, and that your life has changed. As my friend Matt says! Changed lives, Change lives! Is the Spirit helping you to change things today? HABD!

The Spirit within You!
