We have also been provided a "Teacher" or "Trainer" in the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will provide us the day to day, hour to hour guidance we need, to reach our goals. How am I going to be a better Host" to God within me?
In Phase 3 - God's Son turned over the program to the "Spirit." We find this Phase being reflected by the New Testament, from Acts to Jude. This phase along with the 2nd Phase, brings his children more into harmony with the will of God the Father.
As example of this is when a shepherd adds a dog to help him watch over the sheep. The dog helps to watch; that the sheep do not wander and helps to provide the sheep with guidance. The Holy Spirit will provide that guidance to us; as long as we listen.
The Holy Spirit is a form of God which comes to Man in an inward way to enlighten, guide and strengthen him.
With the Holy Spirit we get to know God closer and make him a active part of our lives. We get to know him as our Father and ourselves as children of God (Romans 8: 12-17 and Galatians 4:6).
How will the Spirit" Help You?
God the Father through the history of the World presented in the Bible; provided many prophets; which acted as guides to help the people of Israel to serve Him. The prophets were frequently persecuted and ignored. Well God in his Love, would not give up, in his need to bring his Children to join him and his Son in Heaven. He in his deep Love sent His only Son who was with him in Heaven, down to His Children. This was done to provide an example and to correct many incorrect ideas of the training and preparation program that was provided to His Children. When the Son finished providing the guidance and correction His Children needed. God sent the third aspect of Himself (Triune God), the Holy Spirit. We have been seeing the Spirit's guidance through the previous lessons. But let us take a more in-depth look at it.
