Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit has been a part of our lives from the very beginning. It is because of the Holy Spirit that we are able to communicate with God. The Holy Spirit is the reason that we are able to hear from God, know right from wrong, and so much more. The Holy Spirit is a vital part of a Christians walk and relationship with God. Often times there are a lot of questions and misunderstandings when it comes to who and what the Holy Spirit is. The first thing that should be acknowledged about the Holy Spirit is that he is God.

The Holy Spirit has a purpose and functions that can help Christians. The main purpose of the Holy Spirit is to help God’s people. “And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.” (Romans 8:26 TPT) The Holy Spirit is always there for the believer in their time of need. When a believer goes to pray, but they do not know what to say or what to pray for, the Holy Spirit is there to help.

    Therefore, Paul offers courage to the believers and the task that encouragement. For in (v.7) Paul expresses having faith in the promises of God and not on what he sees then, he illiterates again in verse 8, about the courage which he has while expressing his desire to be with the Lord. Paul can face the afflictions upon his body by the ministry because he is “confident that God will supply a superior replacement for [his body].” (Barrett 158).

    As Screwtape advises his nephew, "When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them try to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by its success in producing the desired feeling, and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment" (Lewis, 16). The emotional rush that occurs when drawing near to the Holy Spirit is a feeling almost every Christian has experienced. New believers tend to use this feeling as their sole motivation for prayer, study, and worship.

Out of the hundreds and hundreds of saints to choose from, I’ve always had my eye on one; Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis of Assisi was born in Assisi, Italy in 1181 into the lap of luxury.

    The second important question should be raised as to how Jesus presents himself and that intertwines in together as to what he is trying to teach. The Gospel of Matthew omits Jesus’ teachings in Judea and begins the story of him within the framework of the great Galilean ministry. The reason is obvious; the author is showing Jesus in the middle of his work. Jesus fasts for forty days in the desert after he was baptized and he is faced Tempters who try to seduce him by doing things that would turn him from his Father but Jesus teaches them a lesson instead.
