Beautiful post...

I've always looked at that scripture to mean heaven, also in accordance with Peter 1:8, about rejoicing with joy unspeakable. I think with the Holy Ghost, we get a glimpse now of what heaven would be like, (in regards to the spirit) but we won't fully experience it until we're there.

One time, God had blessed me, in giving me just a taste of the glory of heaven, and the joy was so strong, that it was enough to take your breath away, that if He would have let it lasted and longer, it would have killed me. There really isn't any words to express just how powerful that was. Even if we could be heavily anointed, where we just sing, dance, prophesy, talking in tongues all day, having joy rain down upon us, having no control of ourselves, it wouldn't in no wise compare.

And people whom I've talked too who had this same or similar experience, all had said the same thing.

Thank you, my sister

Thank you! I woke up the other morning with the Cross on my mind.

Honestly I sometimes wake up with my daily to-do list on my mind, but that morning Christ and Him crucified was on my mind. It was just so wonderful that I just wanted to lay there and glory in that feeling.

A very good article written by George O Wood - General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God.

Why We Need the Holy Spirit

My Pentecostal experience has taught me there is great value in waiting in the Spirit’s presence. The Christian life is not simply intellectual, theological or mind-oriented. It reaches those deeper parts of us that relate to the mystery of the heart in adoration to God. The Spirit reaches into areas of our life where we know what God’s will is but are not doing it.

And the Spirit forms the character of Christ in us as we allow Him to do so. The Spirit wants to reach into the complacency of our life, where we would be satisfied to live as we are now living. He wants to come upon us and make us earnest about the work of God, make us want God’s will and purpose to be done in and through us.

God would have His Spirit call us out of a life of spiritual complacency to one of deep surrender. Through the Spirit, we can have the joy of hearing from God like we have never heard from Him before. The Spirit is with us at the crossroads of life, as we make the most critical decisions. We need the Spirit of God in an increasingly deeper measure. He wants to open up avenues of worship and of vision to us. May each of us cry out, “Spirit of God, I need You! I can never do this on my own. I can’t live the Christian life on my own. I can’t know what Your will is on my own. I need You, Holy Spirit.”
