Episode Overview
- Faith is key to knowing you have the Holy Spirit.
- Reading scripture simply can avoid confusion.
- The Holy Spirit is also called the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ.
- Daily gratitude helps recognise the Holy Spirit's presence.
- Belief in Christ signifies having the Holy Spirit.
If you believe it, you have Christ. The only way you could believe that is that the Holy Spirit would give birth to that faith in you.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into Romans 8:9-10, addressing a topic that often stirs up confusion among Christians - how to know if you have the Holy Spirit. Colin unpacks Paul's words and provides clarity on this complex subject. He discusses the various interpretations and misconceptions surrounding the Holy Spirit's presence and how some believers wait years for a sign, while others believe they need to be fully cleansed of sin first.
Colin shares his own experience as a college student, struggling with these very questions and seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit for two years without feeling any different. He emphasises the importance of reading the scripture simply and directly, without overcomplicating it with external interpretations. Colin explains that having the Holy Spirit means having the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, and ultimately, Christ himself.
He reassures listeners that faith is the key - if you believe in Christ as the Son of God and your saviour, then you have the Holy Spirit within you. Colin encourages believers to thank God daily for His Spirit, recognising His presence in their lives through their faith. This episode is a comforting reminder that the Holy Spirit's presence is a matter of faith, not feelings or prolonged waiting.
If you're seeking reassurance about your spiritual journey, Colin's insights might be just what you need.
