“For through Him we both have access by ONE Spirit unto the Father” (Eph. 2:18 KJV).

The Holy Spirit is God and a person we can and must all know. The master Jesus told His disciples that the world cannot receive the Holy Spirit because they do not know or see Him. Unto the disciples, He said “but you know Him” (Jn. 14:16,17). If the people in the times when the Holy Spirit had not being fully given to the world did know Him, then we in the times of the Holy Spirit can and must know Him completely.

Another important knowledge all believers must have concerning the Holy Spirit is that He is the one who activates our access to the Father. The Lord Jesus Christ is our one and one access to the Father, yet the Holy Spirit is the one who makes this access so real to us. And so the apostle Paul told the Ephesians that believers have one access to the Father (but) by one Holy Spirit!

This means that in your Christian walk, if you would really come to a place of experiential knowledge and experience of God through the access who is Jesus Christ, you need to have a complete knowledge of and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. He is the one who activates the access and makes Christianity real to us. He is the Spirit of Truth (reality) who LEADS us into all truth (all realities in Christ). Glory to God!

The all loving God wants us to have an uninterrupted experience of His realities in Christ Jesus and so gave us the Holy Spirit to dwell IN and with us. That means that when we acknowledge His ever available presence and excel in our fellowship with Him, Christianity would be so real to us every moment of our lives. There are many realities in Christ Jesus but we would only know them as ‘head knowledge’ without experience until the Holy Spirit is so real to us as the activator of our access to the Father!

Christ carried away our sinful nature and gave us the Divine nature; that we might live above sin. (Jn. 1:29). Christ also removed our infirmities and bore our diseases and by His stripes we WERE HEALED! (Matt. 8:17, 1 Pet. 2:24). However, these truths would not be real in your life until you have intimacy with the Holy Spirit because it is He who would make them real to you so you would lay hold on them. “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Cor. 8:9). This work was also done by Christ Jesus; yet we need the Holy Spirit to make this truth a reality to us so we can fellowship with, function in and experience it in our very lives.

Beloved, the Holy Spirit is so key to a successful Christian journey in all regard.  He is the one who makes Christianity a reality to us and not a concept. We need to know Him today as the activator of our access into all divine realities ordained for our benefit!

CONFESSION:
I acknowledge the Holy Spirit of God, as the ordained activator of my access to divinity, the Lord Jesus Christ. I decide today to have an intimate uninterrupted fellowship with Him all my life. That He would make real to me the glorious promises of the Kingdom ordained for my benefit. In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen.
