Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. While some Christians regard them as a comprehensive list of precise characteristics, others see them as illustrations of the Holy Spirit's work through the faithful.

How does the Holy Spirit manifest in our daily lives?
The Holy Spirit will not leave us in a state of perplexity, but will instead disclose the truth to us. As stated in 1 Corinthians 14:33, Jesus brightens the dark regions of our lives to give us a clear glimpse of God's purpose for us. “For God is a God of peace, not of confusion.” “As in all the saints' churches.”
How do you get the Holy Spirit?
Baptize yourself. According to Matthew 3:16, even Jesus had this experience: “Jesus rose from the water as soon as He was baptized. Heaven was opened at that instant, and He saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and land on Him.” In other words, being baptized resulted in him receiving the Holy Spirit.
How does the Holy Spirit teach us all things?
Many people have questioned me why we need the Holy Spirit to anoint His instructors to teach others since the Holy Spirit teaches us everything?
Here is an excellent question, and this is His response, which He gave me to share with them, and which I am now sharing with you.
This word from God was shown to be true when I received the Holy Spirit. He immediately began teaching me everything I know about my Heavenly Father, including who He is, His thoughts, judgments, ways, and teachings, as well as the purpose for everything He gives and creates that we are given within ourselves to guide us in ways that are far greater and higher than our own understanding! He immediately brought to mind all Jesus had said and done!
He teaches us about His Son, Jesus Christ, and why He came, as well as the world's dark spirits who follow Satan, and who Satan the devil is, all from within. He teaches us everything we need to know about ourselves, including who we are without Him and who we are with Him.
From within, He fully removes all of our guilt and humiliation from our past misdeeds. He provides grace to those who do not sin on intent, and He knows what is in our hearts. He forgives those who seek to change their ways and follow His. From within, he separates our natural life from our Holy Spiritual life. He renews the minds of those who are willing to accept His renewals from the world in order to be like Him for the sake of His Kingdom.
All of this is worked out in ourselves, and then through us for others in the same way. He gives us everything Jesus learned from the Father, as well as Himself. He reveals all of His truths to us through His ways and meanings in various languages and music, and we accept all of His gifts that He bestows on the entire globe!
Why did He have to anoint instructors with the talent of teaching others about Him if He teaches us all of this and much more individually?
Not everyone will be instructed by Him through the Holy Spirit. They will be taught by their innate human nature, which they believe comes from Him, and others will simply follow them since they are people pleasers and followers. These are false prophets, and Jesus predicted that there would be a large number of them.
They believe they are right and spiritually mature, but Jesus tells us that our fruit will reveal whether we are one of them or a true kid being taught by Him. Everything that comes out of our hearts, minds, and mouths that guides our hands and feet is our fruit. It's not just the behaviors we're producing with our brains and hearts; it's also His wisdom, instructions, and truth, as well as His life, which we may learn from.
Some Christians will remain spiritually infants because they are still conforming part of their thinking and how they live to the world's ways as they have been taught since childhood.
There will be Christians who are weak in their faith and need to grow stronger in Him. Their first reactions did not become His responses. Their flesh hasn't been entirely crucified with Christ, preventing Him from working fully in and through them. Others and the things of this world are being prioritized before Him and His Kingdom. They are idolizing other persons, ways, teachings, and things to the exclusion of Him.
Teachers are also anointed by him for confirmation. His anointed instructors enjoy learning with one another and embracing what He exposes in each of them so that they can all grow together. His provided connection and like-mindedness between two souls generates a never-ending joy in them!
Because they are willing to crucify all things that do not originate from Him, His anointed teachers are spiritually mature. All they generate, via His gifts, wisdom, signs, miracles, and wonders that no human can explain, prove it. They solely follow Him and His commands, and they utilize His life as a reference; they do not follow any man-made instructions in their devotion. They only pour out what He alone has poured in, and the Father, Son, (Word), and Holy Spirit are their witnesses from Heaven whom they listen to, follow, and share with others in order for others to be drawn to them and follow them as One God.
His anointed instructors were all of His earliest disciples who did not betray Him by pursuing any other wisdom or ways. He also gave His Holy Spirit to them, and with Him, we can be the same kind of followers and teachers as they were!
How do you relate to the Holy Spirit?
This blog article is part of my She Blossoms Through the Bible project, and it was prompted by a question from a friend. I'm loosely based on Leviticus 6, which depicts God's conversation with Moses. The Israelites are learning how to be God's chosen people, and their relationship with the Lord God who led them out of Egypt is central to their existence. Because the Israelites are unable to approach God on their own, Moses and the priests must function as mediators. They must also make amends for their transgressions by offering sacrifices like the Burnt Offering, Grain Offering, and Sin Offering.
The absence of the Holy Spirit strikes out to me in Leviticus 6. In the book of Leviticus, Jesus Christ is foretold as the High Priest, and His life is the sacrifice that replaces all animal and grain sacrifices in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit isn't referenced very often in the Hebrew Scriptures, but He does appear on occasion. I believe He was hovering the entire time, just as He was in the beginning of Genesis. He simply wasn't as approachable to the Israelites as He is to us today.

How do you pray in the Spirit?
I adore Luke 5:16 because it demonstrates that, like you and me, Jesus needed to recharge his batteries and spend time with his Heavenly Father. The life of Christ is meant to serve as a model for us to follow and learn from. So, despite being God incarnate, Jesus didn't use his superpowers as the Son of God to deal with life's difficulties. Instead, he would “sneak away” to pray when he was tired, burdened, or in need of spiritual refreshment, tapping into the power, perception, and purpose that can only be found in God's presence.
Prayer is one of the most potent tools God has given us, and I believe it has never been more necessary for God's people to be on their knees than now, as we look ahead to 2021. However, knowing how to pray isn't always simple. The followers of Jesus were perplexed as well. They were familiar with the Torah's frequently repeated prayers. But Jesus prayed with a might and authority they had never seen before, as if God was listening! So, according to Matthew 6, when they came to Jesus, they didn't say, “Teach us another prayer.” “Lord, teach us to pray,” they prayed.
Christ's response is the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:913). It's a lovely prayer that every Christian should remember; I challenged my granddaughter to do so. I don't believe Jesus intended it to become another ritualistic prayer, as beautiful as the words are. It was intended to serve as an example of how to pray.
Here are eight strategies to developing a more strong and effective prayer life that I've discovered. I hope they inspire you to make the year 2021 a year of prayer.
How can I be led by the Holy Spirit?
It's critical to know how to allow the Holy Spirit lead your life if you're a Christian.
If you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, incredible things occurred at the time of your conversion:
- You were justified made right with Him and He is constantly sanctifying you refining you to become more like Him.
You've also been sealed as a deposit by the Holy Spirit, who stands by you and your salvation. (See Ephesians 1:13 and 2 Corinthians 1:22 for further information.) You've been filled with the Holy Spirit.
However, just because you're filled with the Holy Spirit doesn't imply you'll live as if you are.
Letting the Holy Spirit Lead
It's a conscious choice you must make each and every day if you want to let the Holy Spirit direct your life and walk by the Spirit. Pray that the Lord will pour out His Spirit on you. Pray that you will follow the Spirit's lead.
Watch and listen for opportunities to obey the Spirit's promptings throughout the day. Do it when you know in your spirit what you need to do (and it's in keeping with Scripture). Obeying is crucial, even if it isn't always pleasant or simple.
What God says about manifestation?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will lead you in the right path. 3:5 (Proverbs)
When we manifest, we are putting more trust in our own thinking rather than seeking God's Will for our predicament.
However, Proverbs 3:5 tells us that we should put our faith in God rather than our own understanding.
He loves us and wants the best for us, so we should entrust our dreams and goals to Him and ask for His assistance in realizing them.
