“There He is! The Holy Spirit! The Third Person in the Trinity! You can’t see Him? Are you blind? 😊 He’s right there. Clear as day!”
If only it were that easy, right? No, we cannot actually see the Holy Spirit. But we sure can see/hear/feel/know His presence. Frequent touches have been reported at the Gaither Homecoming concerts.
One such touch occurs at the 2:17 mark of the Gaither Vocal Band’s sweet rendition of I Believe in a Hill Called Mount Calvary [1] (brunette in the aqua blue dress). There He is. The Holy Spirit. Clear as day. In the tears of tenderhearted Homecoming Friend, Candy Hemphill Christmas.
MULTIPLE SIGHTINGS/SOUNDINGS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE WITH “EYES TO SEE” AND “EARS TO HEAR”
Jesus spoke of the need for “eyes to see” and “ears to hear” things spiritual (Matthew 13:13-16). To the spiritually trained eye/ear, multiple sightings/soundings of the Holy Spirit can be seen/heard throughout this 3:45 music video. Yes, a Spirit-sighting in the tears of tenderhearted Ms. Christmas at the 2:17 mark. But similar Spirit movings are also occurring in the choir (female in the front row, far left side of the screen at the 2:27 mark). Spirit-soundings also begin reverberating around the Georgia Dome already back at the 2:04 mark. And, of course, the cries accompanying all of those raised/waving hands provide numerous additional Spirit-soundings/sightings. Yes, His presence is evident. Clear as day. The Invisible Spirit can clearly be seen/heard throughout this 3:45 music video!
A GAME-CHANGING BOOK HAS ARRIVED
In A Way of Escape, readers learn how to train their eyes/ears to see/hear movings of the Spirit. Readers learn how to step up the degree to which they “walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16) by immersing themselves in these Spirit movings. They learn how eyes/ears trained to see/hear things spiritual can be used to build a library of Spirit-anointed, flesh-diffusing apps. Apps that are uniquely fitted to them, and their unique Spirit-filling triggers (Ephesians 5:18b-19).
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
The still-struggling now have another option. The still-struggling now have fresh hope for discovering that long-sought-after way of escape from temptation and resulting sin (I Corinthians 10:13). A way that—because it is wholly Spirit-powered—does not require enlisting the aid of an accountability partner or group. Truly, a game-changer!
THANK YOU, HOLY SPIRIT!
