"Don't you understand? He's all I've got!"

You can hear Kathryn Kuhlman's cry at the church that morning at Pittsburgh where Benny Hinn, at the tender age of 21 sat and got shaken by the dramatic display of Katheryn's affection of the Holy Spirit. Yup. She wasn't talking about her husband or her son or anybody else she knew. She was talking about the HOLY SPIRIT! She followed by saying, "Please! Don't wound Him. He's all Ive got.Don't wound the ONe I love!" and soon after she said, "He's my closest, most personal, most intimate, most beloved friend." Then she did something that leave a powerful impact on Benny Hinn. SHe pointed down at him and said, "He's more real than anything in this world!" Guess what? THat statement caught Benny Hinn. She was talking about someone more real than you or me! Cool stuff!

Benny Hinn caught it. He realised that the place of the Holy Spirit to be the "All I've got" is the place every believer should be. He lived his life chasing after one thing- INTIMACY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT! Yea. He said, "I've got to have it!" Can we say that? i speak for myself. It's crazy when you realise that everything else; career, spouse, parents, ambitions- should be so faint compared to the relationship you supposed to have with the Holy Spirit. Let's get one thing clear; God the Father is in Heaven, God the Son is in Heaven and God the Spirit is here on earth with you and me! To know Jesus and the Father, you have to have fellowship with the Spirit(1 Cor 2:12). Desiring to be alone with the Holy Spirit and He revealing to you the Word, battling powers and pricipalities with Him, going into intercession and worship is supposed to be inflamed in each one of us! Don't be distracted by trivial matters and issues like TV or computer. Don't be lazing around and though the Holy Spirit is present, totally ignoring Him and treating Him as if He doesn't exist. He is a God! Revere but love Him as a brother, friend and more than a spouse. Talk to Him on the buses and train! Say, "GOOD MORNING HOLY SPIRIT" every morning. Tell you the truth. For our kind of generation, where we want our own space and privacy, the Holy Spirit says, " I'm not gonna give ya any!!" hahaha.. yeah.. He's pursuing you and breathing down your neck even now! He's not a stalker but rather the Spirit of Christ given to us all that we may finally understand His heartbeat and His closeness(Romans 8:14-15). HAllelujah!

God is the Giver of the Commandments, Jesus is the Performer of the commands and the Holy Spirit is the One who brings it about(Gen 1, John 1). Say I tell you to switch on the light. I gave the command. You performed it by lifting the switch and the electricity brings about the light. In order words, the Holy Spirit is the power and the ELECTRICTY that now lives in each believer! Good stuff. The Kingdom of God is in you, the power is in you! yeah. God told me once, "you've gotten all you need." The key to unlocking it however, is your fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Ministry is as a reult of the relationship with Jesus not the other way around. You can live without ministry but you cannot live without Him. That's the attitude every minister should have. Let it all fall and see where you stand. "I WILL MAKE MT BOAST IN CHRIST ALONE!"

ASk for that intimate friendship with the Holy Spirit and see how He changes your total Christian walk. Everyday is sweeter than the day before! YEah. Please learn to listen to the Voice. I tell you the truth, we hear it pretty often. Yup. Do begin to exercise the heavenly language which gets you VIP access to God's own communication line. It builds you up tremendously! Be led by the Spirit day by day. Just today, on the bus i shared to someone about the Holy Spirit! Be led by the Spirit! May He add abundant joy, peace, patience and power to you! ;D
