The Holy Spirit, My Guide – Pastor Obed Martinez

But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you. – John 14:26 (AMP)

1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” – Acts 19:1-2 (NIV)

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, – Ephesians 1:13 (NKJV)

Sealed with a Promise: The Mark of an Owner

The Holy Spirit in You Signifies 4 Great Truths:

Security
Then a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signets of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed. – Daniel 6:17 (NKJV)

So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard. – Matthew 27:66 (NKJV)

Authenticity
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. – Acts 4:13 (NKJV)

Authority
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. – Ephesians 6:20 (NKJV)

Ownership
It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life. – Ephesians 1:14 (MSG)

“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t handle them now. But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. – John 16:13 (MSG)

The Holy Spirit In Me

HOLY SPIRIT SHOW ME
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. – PSALM 139:23-24 (NLT)

HOLY SPIRIT CHANGE ME
17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. – 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NLT)

HOLY SPIRIT FILL ME
And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. – Acts 13:52 (NASB)

“BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT DOESN’T MAKE ME BETTER THAN YOU, IT MAKES ME BETTER THAN ME”
