The apostle Paul said, “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). He also said, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (5:25).
Walking in the Spirit is simply allowing the Holy Spirit to do in us what God sent him to do. Jesus said of the Father, “He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you” (John 14:16-17).
Romans 8:26 describes one of the most powerful works of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the believer: “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” The Hebrew word for groaning means a yearning — a longing for more of Christ. This yearning says, “Jesus, you’re the only happiness there is in this world. Walk with me and take control.”
The Holy Spirit was sent to us as a gift from God to seal, sanctify, empower, and prepare us and bring us home as a prepared bride for Christ. He is our guide, our comforter, our strength in time of need and he uses every act of deliverance — every touch, every manifestation of himself in us — to make us more suitable as a bride.
The Holy Spirit does not come to entertain or provide signs and wonders just to thrill us or make us feel good. No, he means to wean us from this world, to convict us of everything that would blemish us and turn our eyes away from everything but Jesus. He wants to create in us a longing for Jesus’ soon appearance and adorn us with the ornaments of a passionate desire to be with him as his bride.
If you truly love Jesus, he is never out of your mind. And you are more precious to him than you can ever imagine! AMEN!

Tarfoot,
I am blessed without reading any book of words, because I have experienced the Holy Spirit, over many years in different ways, when I least expect that warmth and calm.
Others have seen that light above me like a cloud
It is difficult to explain, but in simplistic terms, its rather like living through a thunderstorm and the power is cut off.. then suddenly one feels a warmth and a glow of white light one cant explain..except that for sure it came from a good power above all of us
The power of the Holy Spirit, and its' presence is not on auto power of prayer...
But sometimes when I talk with God and say Lord don't test me any more I need your help.. a few days later..help arrives, in the most unexpected ways.
I do believe Angels exist Tarfoot, no matter what faith we all follow. Just sometimes they can't get through that iron door of EVIL to help the many that are suffering in our world today..
This thread I posted earlier yesterday made me feel physically sick..took me hours to complete because of the pain the families left behind are suffering.
This for me was absolute EVIL, > killing children & even babies;
Drug Cartel Kill US Family of 9, Including 6...
