when you hear of the Holy Spirit what comes to your mind some refer to him as a thing or one of the spirits that hover in the sky others see him as something that makes people shake uncontrollably in church but I want you to know that the holy spirit is a person just like Jesus he is the gift of God to everyone that is saved we see the various manifestations of the Apostles in the book of Acts which turned them into amazement before others but how are believers still limited even with such a supernatural personality
dwelling in them it's because we do not know the extent of what happens when we receive the Holy Spirit today I will share seven amazing things that happen when the Holy Spirit comes upon you what changes should be evident in your life now that you have the Holy Spirit this understanding will help you to be more fruitful in your walk with God God before we continue kindly subscribe to this Channel and click the notification button to receive more inspiring videos number one you receive Divine empowerment when the Holy Spirit comes upon you you receive the
power of God the Bible says in Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my Witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the world the condition to receiving the power of God is the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you the power of God that you receive is for the primary purpose of being a witness of Jesus preaching teaching and healing were the three significant things that Jesus did while on Earth before his Ascension Jesus commanded that all believers
do the same things that he did which means you are also to go out and preach the gospel teach all men and heal those who are sick which makes us a witness of Jesus now on Earth Jesus did not do any of the works he did before receiving the power of God which implies you can't do any of the works Jesus asked you to do without the power of God the devil is the Lord of this world and has in his custody everyone who is not saved when you go out to preach to the unsaved
you are simply contending with the devil to snatch from his hands those he has kept prevented from seeing the light of the gospel of Christ when you go out to teach you are simply contending with the devil to deliver those under the ignorance of the devil when you go out to heal you are also contending with the devil to deliver those held Bound in the sickness and diseases of the devil contending with the devil requires power which is why the Holy Spirit was sent to bring the power of God into your life the secondary purpose
of the power of God you receive when the Holy Spirit comes upon you is to use it against the devil and his cohorts when they attack you life is a battlefield we are constantly at War and you may not know it you don't need a sword or knife to fight this battle you must be positioned in the spirit for this battle even though you are saved the devil will want to put some of his evil works like sickness poverty and many more on you your response is to resist him with the power of God God
you receive when the Holy Spirit comes on you the consciousness of the fact that having the holy spirit in you is having the power of God in you makes you not doubt if your use of the power will work or not God's power not human power makes it work every time it is used because nothing you use against has power more than God there is a place of faith in the power of God the world is full of wickedness and anyone not on the devil's side but instead fighting his kingdom must be equipped with God's
power to live in Victory the disciples faced Fierce opposition when the early church began they were arrested flogged and insulted but all that didn't stop the work or discourage them why the Holy Spirit already empowered them to overcome all the enemy's darts so now you know you are are empowered it's time to exercise that power and Dominion against the works of darkness around you number two you have access to the truth of the scriptures knowing the truth is the second thing that happens when the Holy Spirit comes upon you he is known as the spirit
of Truth and comes on you in a sense knowing the truth implies understanding the Bible beyond the letters in another sense knowing the truth means understanding in God's specific plans for you and your destiny the Bible says in John 1613 but when he the spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all truth he will not speak of his own he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is to come the Bible will be a history book story book or newspaper without the Holy Spirit helping you understand it the
writers of the Bible wrote as they were inspired by the spirit of God which makes the Holy Spirit the actual author of The Holy Bible reading the Bible while the actual author of The Books of the Bible is with you makes you enjoy knowing the mind of God in the scriptures you are reading the Holy Spirit has an assignment in your life to guide you into the truth of the Bible and teach you to know in simple terms the mysteries of the kingdom of God in the Bible the holy spirit is the hidden guide or
teacher in you and you can ask questions every time you read the Bible and you need Clarity on some aspects of your reading God Made You with a specific plan and purpose in mind God already has a particular process and timing for the plan and purpose of your life probably you are at a point in life where you are confused as regards what to do with life where to settle who to marry which church to attend and Men anymore you are the one in the dark about what to do in these areas but God already
has a plan for each stage of your life since your conception the holy spirit's assignment in you is to guide you into what is in God's mind for each stage of your life one thing that separates Believers from unbelievers is the direction in which God's specific plan is which the believer enjoys when the unbelievers are busy living life in guesswork the Holy Spirit knows the very mind of God because of his Union with God and receives from God on your behalf what God desires to show you so that you will have Clarity on the area
you need direction about physical maturity is demonstrated by how independent you are in making life decisions still spiritual maturity is seen by your dependence on the Holy Spirit to lead your daily activities most people are believers and because they don't know that the holy SP spirit is in them to guide them into what God's plans for their life and also guide them into how to go about achieving the plans they go about thinking and wearing themselves out on what to do with life instead of figuring out your life give yourself to activities like prayers that
keep you sensitive to what the holy spirit says about the specific instruction you need the holy spirit is a gentleman who will not force you to know God's plan for you but if you look unto him for Direction You Will always get one stop being anxious stop using the whole night to think about what is next rather than convert to seeking God's face on that matter God is the one who made the plans and he is willing to show you at the right time through the holy spirit that is in you if you are sensitive
to the spirit's leading so Engage The Holy Spirit as you study God's word for clarity precision and the proper application number three you start to manifest the fruit of the spirit the Holy Spirit has fruit the character traits that naturally flow from him the Bible says in Galatians 52223 but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace forbearance kindness faithfulness meekness Temperance against such there is no law Having the Holy Spirit is having his fruit in you because the Holy Spirit goes every everywhere with his inherent fruits the fruit of the spirit has nine
attributes of a Godly lifestyle that the Holy Spirit helps develop in the believer's life there are attributes of an ungodly life that are directly opposite to those of a Godly life such ungodly attributes are called works of the flesh a man not saved is ruled and bound by the devil to do ungodly works the bondage is shown and how the man will make several New Year resolutions to stop bad habits but end up picking them up after some time this bondage is demonstrated in how people do evil acts and they are even surprised and can't
explain what came over them to do such acts the nature of sin in every man born into this world can only be changed to a good nature when he decides to give his life to Jesus when you are saved you receive a nature of righteousness to replace the former old nature that made you bound to sin the change in nature is evident in how you live your life now and your character traits the lifestyles of Believers and unbelievers are different and have no meeting point at all the Holy Spirit helps the believer to live right
by guiding the believer when the opportunity to sin comes to not live and respond like the unbelievers will do but live out the fruit of the spirit within you cannot live right on your own without the help and guidance of the spirit of God many believers who do not allow the holy spirit to guide them to live right are bringing great Shame On Christ we have seen unbelievers who saw how a Believer behaved and promised never to be saved you are to allow the holy spirit to guide you in living right daily for the sake
of your relationship with the gospel of Christ the fruit of the spirit is what people should see and know that you are a Christian you can't hate people or always be depressed and claim to have Christ in you so the Holy Spirit helps you walk in love be patient with people and always be joyful number four you start to manifest the gifts of the Spirit the fourth thing that happens when the Holy Spirit comes upon you is that you get to be a partaker of the gifts of the holy spirit there are nine gifts that
the Holy Spirit manifests through the Believers who have received Christ inherent in the Holy Spirit are these gifts which implies that when the Holy Spirit comes on a Believer the right to have the Holy Spirit manifest any of these gifts through you also comes on you it is called The Gift of the Holy Spirit and not the gift of the believer which clearly shows that the Holy Spirit owns them and determines when and how the gifts are used the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 1211 all these are the work of one and the same spirit
and he distributes them to each one just as he determines you can't just wake up and decide to use any of the gifts instead the owner is the one who stir you up to use any at the best time he deems fit some gifts make you see beyond the natural into God's mind or reveal the devil's evil plot the Holy Spirit uses the gifts that make you see beyond the supernatural to guide you into God's plan for your life the Holy Spirit can also show you God's plan for someone else whether to confirm what the
person has seen before or give a fresh Direction so you can go to a gathering of Believers and start seeing beyond the natural to what someone in that meeting is meant to do to advance in life likewise you can start seeing what the devil has plan to destroy someone in a meeting and the way out to such a plot these gifts make you never to be in the dark about your life God's plan for you and the evil plot of the enemies some spiritual gifts make you do things that people know are Beyond natural it
is beyond natural to look at a sick man and heal him or that through you some gifts make you utter things you did not plan to say or have never thought of which might just just be what someone around you needed at that time when the Holy Spirit comes on you being timid about preaching the gospel because you do not know what exactly to say stops because the holy spirit is the one who supplies you with what to say he makes you bold to face any opposition and audience because the holy spirit will teach you
with words to say the Holy Spirit manifesting his gifts through us should not make us proud but rather humble and thankful for the privilege of being used by God in his works on Earth so if you are not manifesting any of these gifts pray to him and desire it number five he helps you to be fervent in prayer the Bible says in Romans 8:26 in the same way the spirit helps us in our weakness we do not know what we ought to pray for but the spirit himself interceded for us through wordless groans there are
indeed explicit prayer requests inside the Bible but there are some specific prayers you need to make about your life that are not captured in the Bible and only engaging the spirit of God to help is the way out only praying with the help of the holy spirit will make you deal with issues you are not even aware of that the devil has planned against you and settle things in your future before you get there because you are limited to what is happening and what will happen in your life still the spirit of God knows the
past now and future we all can be limited in prayers but the spirit is all knowing he teaches us precisely what to pray for sometimes you are praying to get a job when you should be praying for the wisdom to start a business you may be praying to travel to a location but God wants you to stay where you are so the Holy Spirit helps to align our prayers rightly before God so we can receive answers another weakness is your lack of prayer strength when passing through back-to-back challenges have you ever been in situations where
you were so downcast that someone asked you to pray and your reply was where will I start the prayer only engaging the help of the Holy Spirit at those times can make you start with no strength and as you are progressing in the prayers the Holy Spirit starts impacting strength into you such that when you are done you cannot even explain where the strength came from praying without the help of the spirit makes you limited while praying with the help of the spirit makes you unlimited and strength filled in the praying process the spirit helping
you to pray does not mean you stop having praying time or you reduce the prayer time instead it means while you are praying he gives strength and direction that makes you pray well and effectively some sometimes you will pray on a particular issue while the Holy Spirit changes your direction to a more critical area of life that needs to be addressed quickly the Holy Spirit can sometimes bring someone else's request to you while you are praying to intercede for such people and sometimes it can take your request and give it to someone else to pray
for you one of the reasons why you might not have seen many results in prayers is that you are praying am Miss but when you start engaging the Holy Spirit you stop praying amiss the holy spirit will only you in prayers in the mind of God he knows God's mind in prayers that align with God's written word because he is the one who inspires the word of God you cannot pray long and effectively without the help of the spirit we also Engage The Holy Spirit in prayers by blessing them with speaking in tongues in this
type of prayer the whole holy spirit gives us a language that only God can understand which the devil and no man can understand it is a way to pray and be sure you are praying right and praying the very will of God making answers inevitable number six he brings us Comfort the Holy Spirit comforts you during trials persecutions and troubles one of the names of the holy spirit is the comforter and this is one of his assignments ments in the life of a Believer as a Believer one of your inheritances is persecution because as long
as you are in this world you will daily face persecution and trials and suffer many things for Christ's sake the believer's journey is never smooth or Rosy but filled with challenges and persecutions aimed at getting you wearied and stopping to follow Jesus however you are not left comfortless the holy Holy Spirit was sent to comfort you in all these trials the Bible says John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace in this world you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world you should expect
tribulations persecutions and troubles because your master Jesus Promised You that you would have them while still on Earth it is one way we partake in what Jesus partook of while on Earth the fact that everyone is doing something and you separate yourself will make the devil enter others to trouble you and speak ill of you even in places where you cannot defend yourself or prove them wrong have you been standing for the truth in that office and you have been persecuted so much that you have started reconsidering whether to yield to the pressure and join
others in the evil acts they engaged in be encouraged and know that you have a comforter right inside you allowing the Holy Spirit to comfort you makes you start seeing persecutions as a thing you rejoice about knowing you are partaking in the very things that Jesus and other past Believers went through the Holy Spirit Comforts Us by making us see the joy and prize ahead sometimes he can open your eyes to see The Cloud of Witnesses rejoicing while they see you stand for the truth making you rejoice even in the face of persecution number seven
he strengthens your spirit soul and body you can experience weakness in the body Soul and Spirit but the joy is the holy spirit can strengthen you in all the parts of your life the Bible says in Romans 811 and if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you one evidence the Holy Spirit has come on you is the availability of strengthen you when you are weak the Holy
Spirit In You helps strengthen your body when you are weak no matter what led to physical weakness whether sickness anxiety or hard work taking good rest is one of the usual physical responses people use to gain in physical strength but in cases where you have a tight schedule and are unable to rest one reliable source of strength is looking to the spirit of God for strength the holy spirit in you will make dead body parts to receive strength and come alive the spirit of God made Jesus to be raised from the dead and is still
bringing to life any dead thing in the body of those who have him in them the Holy Spirit supplies your soul with strength when weak maybe you are weak discouraged about life lack the motivation to push forward and many more perhaps you have great aspirations for the year but looking at the first half and seeing that most of those aspirations are far from coming to pass made you weak the Holy Spirit can give you strength and get your mind motivated to rise and do what you have always planned to achieve in life he does this
by comforting and opening your eyes to what you have ahead of you or sometimes reminding you of reasons why you should stand up and go after your Pursuit one more time the spirit is the engine room of a man and if weak it drastically affects the two other parts of man if your spirit is weak you won't be able to control your body from the desires of the flesh that it will naturally want to engage in likewise a weak spirit will hinder you from getting your soul renewed and transformed by the word of God some
signs of a weak Spirit are your negligence in praying reading the word of God evangelizing and living right like you will do before it is not enough to be willing to do spiritual things because being willing and having a weak spirit will make your flesh Prevail instead of your spirit for instance you can be willing to want to fast but because your spirit is weak you will surely yield to the hungry desire of your flesh realizing the weakness of your spirit and engaging the Holy Spirit for strength is vital to energizing your spirit to do
what you used to do the Holy Spirit can give power to a weak Spirit to come alive and be strong one more time the truth is no matter the state of your spirit whether weak or strong you still continually need to engage the holy spirit for strength because of the hostility with which your flesh engages conclusively if the Holy Spirit has come upon you you should have experienced or experienced the seven amazing things we have discussed in this video not being aware of what will happen when the Holy Ghost comes on you might also have
made you see some of the signs and not even recognize that they are responses to the experience of receiving the Holy Ghost upon you coming to the knowledge of what to expect will naturally create some expectations especially when you get to situations where engaging the holy spirit is the only way out for you for you let us pray father thank you for giving your spirit to everyone who asks thank you for the precious gift of your spirit that lives in me and is always with me thank you for not leaving me but sending your spirit

that will want to discourage me from using this power in witnessing for you and ask for the grace to reach everyone I meet daily with the gospel and the power of God father by your Holy Spirit within me teach me all things and guide me into all truths never allow me to be in the dark concerning your plans for my life nor be confused at any point that I need to make Destiny decisions instead let me hear a voice behind me giving me directions and showing me what to do at all times father help me
