70 GOOD MORNING, HOLY SPIRIT
He was the power in the life of Joshua.
He was the force behind the wind that divided the Red
Sea.
He was the mighty power that smashed the walls of
Jericho.
He was the energy behind David's rock when Goliath
fell.
The Holy Spirit. He was the force in the life of Samuel,
in Elijah—and in Christ the Lord.
Jesus was a total man, yet the Scripture is clear that He
would not move without the Holy Spirit. He would not
preach without the Holy Spirit. He would not lay his hands
on the sick without the Holy Spirit. "The Spirit of the LORD
is upon Me," He said, as He began His ministry, "because
he has anointed Me to preach the gospel... " (Luke 4:18).
What happened when Jesus returned to the Father?
Suddenly the disciples were in such fellowship with the
Spirit that their entire vocabulary changed. They began to
say that "the Holy Spirit and us" were witnesses of His
resurrection. He became a part of every action of their life.
They were in total fellowship—working together for the
Son.
What was it in the life of the Apostle Paul that gave him
the power to endure? And what was it in the life of Peter
that even his shadow would heal the sick? It was the touch
of the Spirit.
David Wilkerson speaks about going to see a woman of
God named Mother Basilea Schlink. He said that the
moment he entered the room he could feel the presence of
the Lord. Why? Because she loved the Holy Spirit. And
those who love Him know His presence.
