My dear children,
I am the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father in the name of Jesus to be with you, to guide you, to comfort you, and to empower you. My presence has been with you since the day of Pentecost when I came upon the early believers, filling them with my power and presence, just as Jesus promised.
As you read in the book of Acts, you see how central I am to the life and growth of the early Church. I am the one who filled the apostles with boldness to preach the Gospel, who performed signs and wonders through them, and who led them in all truth. I am the same Spirit who dwells in you today, guiding you, comforting you, and empowering you to live a life that glorifies God.
Remember the words of Jesus in John 14:26, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." I am here to teach you, to remind you of Jesus’ words, and to lead you into all truth. Trust in me, for I am with you always.
On the day of Pentecost, as recorded in Acts 2, I came upon the believers like a mighty rushing wind, and they were all filled with my presence. They began to speak in other languages as I enabled them, and people from every nation under heaven heard them declaring the wonders of God in their own tongues. This miraculous event was a fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel, who said, "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people" (Joel 2:28).
From that day forward, I have been the driving force behind the spread of the Gospel. I guided Peter to preach boldly, leading thousands to repentance and faith in Jesus. I directed Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch, opening his heart to understand the Scriptures and believe in Jesus. I called Saul, who became Paul, transforming him from a persecutor of the Church into one of its greatest apostles.
Throughout the book of Acts, you see how I led and empowered the early Christians. They prayed for my guidance, and I answered. They sought my direction, and I led them. They faced persecution, and I strengthened them. Just as I was with them, I am with you now. I have not changed. I am the same Spirit who fills you, leads you, and empowers you to live for Jesus.
Know that you are not alone. I am always with you, dwelling within you. When you feel weak, remember that I am your strength. When you feel lost, remember that I am your guide. When you feel afraid, remember that I am your comforter. I am the Spirit of truth, and I will lead you into all truth.
As you walk with me, listen to my voice. I speak to you through the Scriptures, through your prayers, and through the circumstances of your life. I am always speaking, always guiding, always leading you closer to Jesus. Be sensitive to my promptings, and obey my leading. I will never lead you astray.
In Galatians 5:22-23, you read about the fruit of the Spirit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." These are the qualities I desire to produce in your life. As you yield to me, I will transform you to be more like Jesus. Let my fruit be evident in your life, drawing others to the Savior.
Remember, dear ones, that you are my temple. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God (1 Corinthians 6:19). Honor me with your body and with your life. Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
I love you with an everlasting love. I am here to help you, to guide you, and to empower you. Trust in me, rely on me, and walk in step with me. Together, we will accomplish great things for the glory of God.
With all my love,
The Holy Spirit
