Is the Holy Spirit worth waiting for, and can we receive Him today just as the disciples did? These are questions that many claim to be answered “Yes”, and that even asking them this question seems spiritually childish to them, while others denounce today’s coming of the Holy Spirit as irrelevant and a thing of the past. So, which is it? How can we talk about receiving the gifts of the Spirit, and the workings of the Holy Spirit in us... while never having received Him?
You have accepted Jesus as your savior, and you have separated yourself from the sinful life you once led, but are you righteous? More than that, are you Holy? When asked, many Christians will define holy as being dedicated, or separated, to God, but this is only part of the equation... it also means for His use, righteous, and divine. These are not qualities that are part of separation, but these are the things that fill us once we have been set apart, emptied, and purified for His use.
