PERSON TO PERSON 75
Why? Because He's the one that was sent to be with you
—and in you—forever. You can know Him and have
fellowship with Him. And the more you commune with
Him, the greater Jesus becomes. And the lovelier Christ
becomes. Because everything He talks about is Jesus.
Christ said, "When the Helper comes, whom I shall send to
you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from
the Father, He will testify of Me" (John 15:26).
So if I want to know about Jesus, I must go to the Holy
Spirit. Jesus said it. And He knew what He was talking
about.
In the Old Testament, Moses could go to the Father. In
the New Testament, the disciples could talk to the Son. But
when you and I have a need, where should we turn? To the
Holy Spirit. He is a person, and He is waiting right now for
you to welcome Him into your life.
By seeking His presence you will discover the secret of
the great men and women of God. David said, "Do not cast
me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy
Spirit from me" (Ps. 51:11). He knew too well what
happened when the Spirit left Saul.
Paul told us to walk in the Spirit, live in the Spirit, pray
in the Spirit. Peter and Philip spoke to Him. And so did
Christ.
It's Time to Begin
You ask, "How do I begin?" It's really very simple. You
might start by saying, "Holy Spirit, help me pray now."
That's exactly what He wants you to do. The Bible says He
prays for you "with groanings that cannot be uttered." And
when you begin you will feel your burden being lifted.
You'll have a prayer partner who will lead you straight to
the throne of God.
