CHAPTER

7

The Work of the Spirit in the Life of Christ

H ave you ever begun in prayer and found that as you spoke from your heart, it was as though your prayers went to the wall and bounced right back at you? When this happened to me shortly after I was saved, I didn’t understand it. There was no life, no power, no intensity connected to my prayer life. But the day I really met the Holy Spirit, everything changed.

When Kathryn Kuhlman introduced me to the Holy Spirit I immediately wanted to know more about Him. But when I met the Holy Spirit, the thing that most amazed me was that my hunger for the Lord Jesus so intensified that I wanted to know more and more about the Lord.

Suddenly there was an eruption within me wanting to know the Lord Jesus in a way I had never experienced. I began to understand that I had been trying to know the Lord Jesus by myself. But when the Holy Spirit fully came into my Christian experience, I began to understand His role and His purpose. I discovered that knowing the Holy Spirit is simply the means by which we can know Christ in a deeper way.

When I attempted to know the Lord Jesus on my own, it was a struggle. I would pray like any Christian would pray, but nothing was happening. I was struggling; my prayers went to the wall and came right back at me. There was no life, no intensity, no hunger. I was trying to create hunger without the Holy Spirit doing it and it wasn’t happening. I was trying to make myself hungry. It was all mental, all flesh. But when the Holy Spirit came, a God-given hunger began to burn in my soul and I was changed.

§ When the Holy Spirit came, a prayer was born because of His presence that still burns within me with great love and longing. With Paul I say, “Oh, that I may know

Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead” (Phil. 3:8-11).

You see, the Holy Spirit did not come to promote His own agenda. The Lord Jesus Himself declared the mission of the Holy Spirit when He said, “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is mine and declare it to you” (John 16:14).

Jesus Christ is the central figure in world history, and it is the Holy Spirit who reveals Him to human hearts.
