If you read the biblical account of the early believers, it is very clear that 1) The Holy Spirit was very real to them, he was a player in the story as real as Peter, Paul, Steven, Jesus. He was a person and an independent actor. 2) He was the x-factor. Like having Labron James on your pick up basketball team, he was the game changer. Christianity without the HS is really nothing, it is like an empty coke bottle, there's nothing there. In the words of Paul "its a form of godliness but devoid of power." Every one says they have the holy spirit, so what is the biblical test that the Holy Spirit is with you? By your fruits you will know them. What did Jesus submit as the proof that he was who he said he was? Believe because of my works, that's what differentiated him and he challenged us and promised us 'Whoever believed in me will do the works I have done and even greater works than these they will do." The Holy Spirit is the X factor, the proof that he is with us is that he does what no human can do. This is what Miracles and Transformation is all about.
In this episode Jeff Taylor and I record our prayer for our friend Dick Renard. Recently Dick shared a similar word with his team in Salinas which Jeff is a part of. They started pressing in to receive more faith for miracles, then the opportunity arose. Dick had an emergency back surgery and he is now in significant pain. We are believing for God to turn this around and reveal his glory thru the trial and it will be a catalyst for his grace to be reveal not just for Dick but for the community in Salinas he holds so dear to his heart.
