Who is the Holy Spirit and what is His role in the lives of believers?

This is a common question, and if we don’t go to Scripture for the answer, we can find ourselves greatly misled about the work of the Holy Spirit.

In fact, whether it’s intentional or not, many Christians today seek health, wealth, and happiness by calling on the Holy Spirit like a cosmic butler there to meet our every need. But when things don’t go as hoped, they often wonder if the Holy Spirit is even real or question His purpose if not to give us what we ask for.

Well, my friend, it shouldn’t be this way because that’s not who the Holy Spirit is to us!

Letting Go of What You Thought for What Is True

In 2006, I was a guest on the Dr. Phil Show. Oh my gosh, girl! It was a fantastic experience full of surprises and expectations. I expected to have a pre-interview with a producer. I expected to have a totally interesting and slightly intimidating experience on set. I expected to have my make-up professionally done there in the studio. I expected cameras, questions and lots of nerves! I didn’t expect to talk to Dr. Phil personally offstage though. And if I did get to meet him, I expected him to be hurried and professional but not as engaging in private as he was on TV.

Well, most of my expectations were correct. I pre-interviewed with a producer. There were cameras, professional make-up (thank you, Lord), lots of questions and even more nerves! But, what I expected from Dr. Phil personally was not what I got! I expected him to be hurried. And, even though he was in a hurry, he wasn’t rushed. He was warm and casual. I expected him to be more guarded or distant in person than he seems to be on TV. Nope, he was so engaging and genuinely personally interested in me. I was totally thrown off – he was not who I expected him to be.
