The Holy Spirit works as "the Helper" who helps God's children who accepted Jesus Christ to possess spiritual faith and enter the eternal Heaven. By His work we can be moved by the Holy Spirit, be influenced by the Holy Spirit, communicate with the Holy Spirit, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Let's delve into how He helps our Christian lives.
The Holy Spirit's work necessary for our believing lives
When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we can receive strength from God and overcome the world with faith. Joy and thanks overflow from our hearts and we may feel happy and peaceful all the time. Moreover, if we communicate with the Holy Spirit, we can be guided into the ways of prosperity.
Furthermore, if we are moved and influenced by the Holy Spirit, we will taste heavenly lives though our bodies are on the earth. Being moved by the Holy Spirit, being influenced by Him, communicating with Him, and being filled with Him will be different according to how much the truth has settled in our hearts. For instance, no matter how skillful an entrepreneur may be, the amount of his capital will determine the outcome of the use of his skill.
Likewise, while the Holy Spirit in each of us does have infinite power and authority, He will only work through the truth of our heart. According to the amount we have filled our heart with the truth—in other words, according to the measure of our faith—we can receive the Holy Spirit's assistance. It also depends on how earnestly we pray.
"Filled with the Holy Spirit" we can feel the spiritual realm through the truth
"Being filled with the Holy Spirit" refers to the Holy Spirit leading people to feel the spiritual realm through the truth in their heart. In such a spiritual realm, there is only peace, rejoicing, and thanksgiving. Even if a person has cultivated only 10% of his heart by spirit, when he is filled with the Holy Spirit, his spiritual heart will balloon beyond the 10% and fill up his heart. At least for that moment, he will feel the joy and happiness of the spiritual realm where there is no flesh. They will gain faith by which they can believe that they can do what is impossible for man, rejoice when they cannot, and give thanks even when the reality of a situation is so hopeless.
When people rejoice and give thanks by faith, they will receive God's answers to the desires of their heart and prayer requests more quickly. When they pray in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, the time it takes you to receive God's answer is shorter.
"Communicating with the Holy Spirit" we can hear the Holy Spirit's voice and receive His urging and guidance
"Communicating with the Holy Spirit" refers to hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit and receiving the Holy Spirit's urging and guidance. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we can communicate with God at all times (John 14:26). When we continuously cry out in prayer and pray fervently, we can communicate more closely with the Spirit. Also, the depth of communication is different according to how much each person has cultivated his heart with the truth. The voice is heard to the extent that we can understand and obey it.
The Holy Spirit's voice can be heard in a way that God's Word comes to your mind or that the Holy Spirit in you specifically speaks to you as "man to man" (Luke 2:26; Acts 8:29). Next, receiving urging from the Holy Spirit means He gives us a desire or thought to do something. For instance, He gives you thoughts like, "I should pray," or "I should give relief to the poor" (Acts 16:6).
When we obey what the Holy Spirit has told or urged us to do, that is how we "receive the Holy Spirit's guidance." At first, we need a training period to discern between His voice and our own thoughts. We come to discern His voice and obey it, and thereby, our faith increases. To the extent, we can hear His voice and receive His guidance more clearly. However, unless we obey, we come to find it harder and harder to hear His voice, and naturally our faith comes to grow slowly.
As explained, we can hear the Holy Spirit's voice and receive His urging and guidance only as much as allowed by our measure of faith. Also, even if we communicate with Him and thereby know God's will, the degree of each one of us understanding God's heart is different according to the measure.
"Being moved and influenced by the Holy Spirit" helps you deeply understand the heart of God
To be "moved and influenced by the Holy Spirit" means that you "deeply understand the heart of God by feeling and experiencing the things that come from His original space."
It means that you will feel and experience the perfect goodness and infinite power of God that can only be found in the original space, not the earth. You will be able to directly hear the voice of God and see visions, too. But instead of just seeing the visions, you will be able to correctly understand the heart and will of God in the visions.
You can be "moved and influenced by" the Holy Spirit at the same time. But if we are to separate the two, you can see or hear God's original space when you are "influenced by" the Holy Spirit. And then you will be moved by the Holy Spirit. Suppose you were moved to a beautiful park. You would see the beautiful flowers and trees, and hear birds' chirping. You would soon feel in your heart, "It's so beautiful and peaceful here."
Seeing and hearing things in a new environment can be described as being "influenced by the Holy Spirit", and emotions created from seeing and hearing those things can be described as being "moved by the Holy Spirit". When you enter God's original space, see a vision or hear a spiritual sound or voice, you are "influenced by" the Holy Spirit. When you feel the depths of God's heart in His original space, you are "moved by" the Holy Spirit.
When we are "moved and influenced by" the Holy Spirit, we will stay in the God's original space, so no force of darkness disturbs us. So, at times, we may learn of the things to come or receive revelations of great spiritual depths (2 Peter 1:21; Matthew 22:43-44).
