Now all of you can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. -Ephesians 2:18(NLT)
THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Through the Holy Spirit, we can come to the Lord
He made this possible when Christ died on the cross
All of you who believe in God have the Spirit inside you
In faith, he transforms you and make your life new.
Through the Holy Spirit, you can get revelations
Without his help, you will succumb to temptations
Through God’s Spirit, you are given authority
It is only by accepting him will you have victory.

I have been guided and directed by the Holy Spirit since I accepted Jesus when I was seven years old. It may seem unreal to some people about how I was literally pulled out from many occasions of traumas and abuse by God’s Spirit. Even at that very young age, I was given instructions through my regular talking with Jesus. I believe that even when I didn’t read the bible until I was in my late twenties, the Holy Spirit kept watch over me and taught me how to thrive despite the circumstances surrounding me. He built me up and if not for his guidance, I will not be where I am today.
Paul speaks about our right standing with God through Jesus’ blood which allowed him to live inside us.
