The Holy Spirit – the Guarantee of God’s Promises

The third person of the trinity is the One YAHSHUA sent to stay with us always. YAHSHUA identified Him as the Counselor, the Teacher, the Comforter, the Intercessor, the Helper, the Spirit of Truth. He is indeed, Emmanuel- God with us. He is in close relationship with all who love God. It is through Him that we are in touch with God. YAHSHUA said, When He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness and about judgment (John 16). He sealed all those who have believed in YAHSHUA with His own Spirit, guaranteeing them the inheritance in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring possession of it- to the praise of His glory (Eph. 1:13-14). He comes to our aid and bears us up in our in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance…He intercedes and pleads in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will (Rom. 8:26-27). When YAHSHUA said that God is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth, it was not location that was significant, but the heart of men. It will not matter where one worships God, provided that we will worship Him in truth, with our spirit, the life within us, for It is with our spirit that we connect with God’s Spirit. The worship that God expects from us is from the essence of life. YAHSHUA said to the woman at the well, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem; God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:21,23).

I have been committed to teaching the truth of the Word of God beginning with Trans World Radio on Bonaire, N.A and Swaziland, Africa (1969-1980), then through churches in the United States in both English and Portuguese and then through ministry in Israel (2005-2006). This ministry continues through local Bible studies and outreach to the world via the internet. I have written a book about my life from that of an orphan in Brazil to missionary in 5 countries.
