The Holy Spirit

"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." (Acts chapter 5 verse 32)

What is the Holy Ghost? The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is a heavenly being that communicates with our spirits. He witnesses of truth to us so that we are able to recognize it.  We have to be worthy of having his help though. If we are obeying God's commandments we are able to have the Holy Ghost with us more.

What does the Holy Ghost feel like? I have been thinking about this lately. You know what it feels like to be thirsty? Then what it feels like to finally drink? The Holy Ghost feels like that. It satisfies a spiritual need for relief.

You know how it feels to be greasy and dirty, then to take a thorough, hot, soapy shower? The Holy Ghost makes you feel like that. It makes you feel fresh and clean spiritually.

You know how if feels to be lonely, and then hear from someone who loves you a lot? The Holy Ghost feels like that. You remember your worth and are reminded of the abiding relationship you have with God.

Here are two quotes that I like,

"We can recognize when the Holy Ghost is teaching us the truth. Our minds will be filled with inspiring and uplifting thoughts. We will be enlightened, or given new knowledge. Our hearts will have feelings of peace, joy, and love. We will want to do good and be helpful to others. These feelings are hard to describe but can be recognized as we experience them." (Preach My Gospel, p. 73)

"The Holy Ghost has a sanctifying, cleansing effect upon us. The Holy Ghost testifies of Christ and helps us recognize the truth. He provides spiritual strength and helps us do what is right. He comforts us during times of trial or sorrow. He warns us of spiritual or physical danger. The Holy Ghost  provides the power by which we teach and learn. The gift of the Holy Ghost is one of our Heavenly Father's most precious gifts. Through the power of the Holy Ghost we can feel God's love and direction for us. This gift is a foretaste of eternal joy and a promise of eternal life." (Preach My Gospel, p. 65)

Seek the Holy Ghost. It makes you happier, cleaner, and loved.

Champion good! Feel the Holy Ghost!
