 Do You Know The Holy Spirit Be honest here, how many of you can define what is the Holy Spirit? Not many I presume, for I too was one who knew nothing of the Holy Spirit except for some bits and pieces of information I had retained from the masses I had attended. But it was after one blissful encounter that piqued my interest in discovering more about this Holy Specter. What exactly is it? how do we define it? and what is its role in Christianity? Also called the Holy Ghost or Paraclete, it is the third constitute of Christianity. The other two are the father, which is God almighty, and then the son, which is our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. So how can we make Holy Spirit more tangible for our understanding? Think of it as the power of God in action. It’s his active force that gets the will of God done. Yes, it is indeed an invisible force, or rather, a power that is unperceivable by humans. But the effects it produces are very visible and tangible as well. The Holy Spirit is not a person; it is referred to as many things across the Bible but a person. You will find words like Breath, Wind, An animating force in living creatures, Hand, and even Fingers. It is also referred to as faith and knowledge. There are numerous mentioning of the Holy Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles, in which there are numerous acts associated with it such as Prophecies/Prophesizing, Healing, Glossolalia, and Exorcism. In biblical art, it is represented as a dove. How do we know Holy Spirit does not refer to a person? Well, when Christian martyr Stephen received a miraculous heavenly vision, he only saw people; this signifies Holy Spirit is not a person. As stated in Bible, “He, being full of the holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand.” (Acts 7:55) Here, the Holy Spirit is defined as the power of God in action that enabled Stephen to see the holy vision of God and Jesus by his side. One very common misconception is that Holy Spirit is secondary to Father and Son, which absolutely not true; the true believer must admit the Holy Spirit as equal in substance to the Father and Son, for they all exist in harmony with each other. As such, the eastern and western churches now view the Holy Spirit as a bond between the Father and Son, a mutual charity. Which implies the two are absolutely united in the Spirit. For us, Holy Spirit is a helper. It is the embodiment of God’s help that reaches us and fills us with divine bliss at the time when we need it the most. It sanctifies us and rids us of our sins, making us pure and more like Christ. It is because of the Holy Spirit that we get close to God and are directed towards the will of our holy father.FWB Browne 2022 Christentum Kunst Spiritualität

    Unveiling the Importance of a Name: A Biblical Perspective
    Aug 3 2023
    Ever pondered, “how important is a name?” Discover its unique significance—drawing from rich biblical heritage and God’s profound role in our identity. How Important is a name? "Quid in nomine, est?" Latin quotes have never lost their charm, have they? This ancient saying translates to "What's in a name?" So let's probe into it: "How important is a name?" In the Bible, names were much more than words. They held power, encapsulated identity, and had deep-seated implications. Understanding the significance of a name can unlock deeper insights into one’s self and relationship with God. A Biblical Journey: The Power of names The Bible is rife with stories where God changes someone's name to represent a shift in their identity or purpose. Remember Abram? His name was changed to Abraham, which means "Father of many nations." Similarly, his wife Sarai became Sarah, which implies "Mother of nations." Such transformations underpin the profound correlation of a name with our Heavenly Father, don't they? And, these transformations aren't superficial; they echo God’s divine authority, fostering personal reformation and eliciting increased spiritual prowess. Names: Statements of Identity When a person was named in biblical times, it often signified his or her character or personality, and sometimes even prophesied their destiny. For example, Jacob's name means "heel grabber" because he was born 2nd to his elder brother Esau's blessings.. Seeing our names as more than an address—that symbolizes our innermost narrative—can add so much depth and intimacy to our relation with the Self and God. Do you resonate with this too? Finding God’s Role in our Names Our names, like fingerprints, are unique, identifying us in a crowd. But, deeper underneath this everyday utility, a name serves as a spiritual compass pointing towards our connection with God. It serves as a thread linking us to the biblical history and God's grand narrative for humanity. You might ask, "How can I find divine significance in my name?" Undertaking this exploration is like embarking a spiritual adventure, navigating through biblical scriptures and discovering God's subtle indicators hidden within your name. So, how important is a name? Well, in the biblical context, it's deemed highly significant. Names comprise integral aspects of our identity, indicating our nature, destiny, and even the divine role we play in God's plan. Through this rich biblical understanding, we are reminded how intertwined our lives are with God’s divine plan. Understanding the significance of names can deepen our relationship with the Almighty.. Next time when people ask your name or you tell it, remember: it's not just a word. It's a spiritual embodiment of who you are and how God sees you. And isn't that insight enough to nudge us onto a journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment?
