“How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"  (Luke 11:13)

These words tell us the best gift God gave to humanity is the Holy Spirit.  Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary conceived Jesus; also through the power of the Holy Spirit, Simeon prophesied that a sword will pierce through Mary’s heart and soul.

When Jesus was being baptized and fasted for forty days in the wilderness, the Holy Spirit also was present with Him.

Jesus once candidly said to his disciples, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.  However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”  (John 16:12-13)

After Pentecost, Peter urged the crowds in Jerusalem, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)

Our hearts can only change in the Holy Spirit.
