 In my last message, I said that I would be sharing some more about the Holy Spirit, who is the very "Presence" of God here on Earth.  He came to abide with us for many different reasons, and one of them is so that He can have a personal relationship with us.  Well, guys and gals, I can tell you for a fact, that it takes "child-like" faith to fellowship with Him!  Jesus knew this and that is why He told us that we would have to come as a little child to partake of the Kingdom of God here on earth. How does God's Word describe the Kingdom of God?   I know that all of you know the answer to that question, but let's take time to think about what it says........The Kingdom of God is "righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit".  Are we getting some "revelation" here?  I will be sharing more about this in another message, but today, I want to talk about the "child-like" faith that we need to have.
 
Think about this........little children talk to Jesus and pray to Him, and they don't use words like "thee and thou", etc.  They don't have to see Him "visibly" to believe that He is real and that He hears them.  They just talk to Him like they talk to their invisible playmates.... (didn't you do that when you were a little child?)  I know that I did, and my children did, and my grandchildren did.  We know now, that those invisible friends were imaginary.  However, we can use our "child-like faith" to talk to and fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and even though He also is "invisible", He is not "imaginary"...He is real!! 
 
Yes, the Holy Spirit is "real", and He wants us to be "real" with Him.  There is no point in us trying to put on some kind of a pretentious facade with Him.  You might as well, forget that!!  He knows exactly who we are, what we are how we are. That is why it is so amazing to me, that He knows "all that" and yet He still loves me and desires to be with me and to fellowship with me.  He desires to do the same with YOU!    That, precious ones, is "unconditional love" !
 
So, lighten up, be yourself, get real with Holy Spirit and just enjoy being in His presence.  It is written....." in His presence, there is fullness of JOY, and at His right hand there is PLEASURES!  How good is that?!  But guess what....there is a whole lot more in store for you when you really get a revelation concerning what He is "all about"!          More to come next week..............
 
Have a Blessed Weekend!    In His Love and in His Presence,   Luanne
