Why don’t we talk more about the Holy Spirit?
Why don’t Christians talk more about the Holy Spirit? So asks Dan Edelen in a blog post from early last year. He wants to know why Christian blogs, bookstores, and churches are full of talk about just about every imaginable topic… but seem strangely silent about the third person of the Trinity.

Most churches avoid it because The Holy Spirit cuts them out as the middleman. You are a spirit being NOT a flesh being. God knew you before you had flesh in your mother’s womb. He will know you long after your flesh has died. God gives you 95% of your daily bread through biblestudy (which is only revealed by the Holy Spirit – God’s spirit), talking directly to you, God’s Spirit to You(spirit) or through another person, God’s Spirit to their mouth to You(spirit). Get It? Pentacostal churches (ie AOG) Use a false teaching of the gift of tongues to keeps you coming back to their church(to learn to speak in tongues)Get it? NOW—-THE TRUTH……
When your Saved, Jesus, thereafter, Lives within you in the form of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Your indwelling spirit and the Holy Spirit are roommates. God’s Spirit gazes into your spirit continuously. He knows your every thought and tells it to God. He also tries to communicate every loving thought, that God wants you to know, back to you. Being “in the spirit”, whither your praying, worshipping, or being led by the Spirit, simply means that you are focusing and listening to the What the Spirit is saying to you continuously (or as best as you can). Always try to be closer to God through more biblestudy/prayer/worship and by cutting back on worldly doctorine influences like non christian TV, radio, or what people usually tell you. Test the spirit of anything your hear or see by comparing it to the whole truth of the entire bible (not scriptures out context or altered – satin’s two favorite tricks). So urgently read the bible if you haven’t already. Continuing it it’s reading daily. It’s the only truth.
I Pray in Jesus name that God opens your eyes more each day.

Oh, PS, I was saved in an AOG church. There is no such thing as a perfect church and it doesn’t have to be a perfect church to get saved in it. Having been saved pentacostal and then 2 years baptist and now back to pentacostal, I feel AOG and simular churches can be easier to get saved in, because half the congregation seems to go to the alter after every sevice anyway, the unsaved person can more easily flow along with the others as he/she goes up to get saved for the first time. If you stand up in some baptist churches it’s like someone broke window. they tend to remain clued to their seats (ha ha). psps I make it a point to go to some church every weekend. I go to praise God and encourage other believers.
