PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: HIS WELL
BIBLE READING:
GENESIS 6:3
1SAMUEL 10:6

MATTHEW 4:1
1 Corithe sameJV): But One and the Same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He Wills."
During the previous devotion, we were in the process of proving the Personality of the Holy Spirit according to the Scriptures. Just like a man whom God created, the Holy Spirit has a Personal Soul which is the Seat of His Personality. (Ezek. 18:4)
The soul has three dimensions as seen in the previous devotion:
(1.) The Mind i.e., the part of the soul which thinks.
(2.) The Will i.e., the part of the soul which chooses.
(3.) The Emotions i.e., the part of the soul which feels.
The Holy Spirit has His Own Personal Will which is where all His Decisions are made. (2Pet. 1:21) For instance, Apostle Paul and his company during the second missionary journey tried preaching in the region of Bithynia: "After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, BUT THE SPIRIT DID NOT PERMIT THEM." Acts 16:7(NKJV)
The Holy Spirit didn't allow them to go into Bithynia because this wasn't His Will or Pleasure. He has a Grand Master Plan and Process which we must trust. (Prov. 3:5-6)
Anytime we want to do anything, it becomes needful for us to consult Him for He is the Director of our destinies. Let us endeavour to do all things "... according to the Counsel of His Will." Eph. 1:11(NKJV)
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we honour You for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit. Let our will be subsumed by His Will in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
