Every Christian Has the Holy Spirit- But Have Never Unlocked What He Came to Do
Stop treating the Holy Spirit like a devotional comfort. Start treating Him like the dangerous power He is. Stop acknowledging His presence on Sunday morning and overriding His governance Monday through Saturday. Start giving Him the first word in every situation rather than the last resort when every natural strategy has failed. Stop carrying dynamite like it is a candle. Start deploying the power of the greater One who lives in you in every conversation, every challenge, every spiritual confrontation, every natural impossibility you face.
You are carrying dangerous power .
The most underutilized resource in the history of the world is not oil beneath the ground or gold in the mountains or technology sitting uninvented in the minds of people who never had the opportunity to develop it.
The most underutilized resource in the history of the world is the Holy Spirit living inside Christians who have no idea what he actually came to do. He is there in every born again believer without exception, without condition, without variation based on spiritual maturity or theological sophistication or the consistency of their devotional life. He took up permanent residence the moment they were born again and he has not moved since.
And in most of their lives, he is operating at a fraction, a small almost embarrassing fraction of what he is capable of, what he came to do, and what he was specifically sent to accomplish in and through the person he inhabits.
Not because he is holding back, not because he is waiting for some future moment of greater spiritual readiness.
Because the believer does not know what they are carrying. They do not know what he came to do. And you cannot deploy what you do. Not know you have. You are carrying dangerous power. Not potential power. Not power that might become available if you achieve sufficient spiritual development. Power that is present right now. fully loaded, fully operational, fully capable of doing in your life and through your life everything the Word describes and sitting largely dormant because the person carrying it has been taught to think of the Holy Spirit primarily as a source of emotional experience rather than as the operational power of God committed to living through a human being. The church has reduced the Holy Spirit to a feeling, a warmth in worship, a sense of presence in prayer, a comfort in crisis. And he is all of those things. But he is infinitely more than those things. And the reduction of him to the dimension of experience has produced a generation of Christians who have the most powerful person in the universe living in inside them and are living lives that look almost indistinguishable from people who do not. Acts 1:8 is one of the most quoted and least understood verses in the entire New Testament. Jesus says, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The word power is the Greek word dunamis from which we get the English words dynamite and dynamic. It is not the power of influence or the power of persuasion or the power of a compelling personality.
It is the raw operative force of God.
The same force that spoke the worlds into existence, that parted the Red deposited in a human being and available for the purposes of the kingdom.
This is what came on the day of Pentecost. Not a beautiful religious experience that made the disciples feel close to God. Dynamite, explosive, world altering, death reversing, demon destroying, healing, releasing, life transforming power deposited in ordinary human beings and immediately deployed through them to turn the world upside down. That is the Holy Spirit. That is what he came to do and that is what is living inside you right now. 1 John 4:4 says, "Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world." Greater, not equal, not slightly superior, greater. The one living inside you is categorically more powerful than everything arrayed against you in this world. every demonic force, every natural limitation, every circumstance that looks impossible, every disease that looks incurable, every situation that looks permanent and immovable, greater. And that greatness is not sitting at a distance looking at your situation from the outside. It is inside you, in you, committed to working through you, waiting to be given the place he came to occupy and the freedom to do what he came to do. Think about what it means to carry that. You walk into a room carrying the greater one.
You walk into a doctor's office carrying resurrection power. You walk into a financial crisis carrying the wisdom of the one who owns everything.
You walk into a spiritual battle carrying the same force that defeated the enemy at the cross and stripped him of every authority he had over the human race. You are not walking into these situations as a natural person hoping God will intervene from outside.
You are walking in as the temple of the Holy Spirit carrying inside you the most dangerous power in the universe.
Dangerous to every work of darkness, dangerous to every lie of the enemy, dangerous to every natural impossibility that stands between you and the life the word says is yours. If you are beginning to see that what you are carrying is not a devotional comfort but a dangerous world altering darkness destroying power that has been mostly dormant in your life because you did not know what it was. Hit that subscribe button right now because what l am about to show you will unlock what the Holy Spirit actually came to do in you and through you and what changes in every area of your life when you give him the place he came to occupy
And say right now, 🗣️ I carry dangerous power. The greater one lives in me and I give him full place to do everything he came to do. Now let me show you specifically what the Holy Spirit came to do. Because the reduction of his work to emotional experience is the primary reason most believers never unlock what they are carrying. He did not come primarily to make you feel good. He did not come primarily to give you spiritual gifts to display in a church meeting. He came to do something so comprehensive and so transformative that when it is fully operating in a human life, the result looks like what Jesus described in John 14:12. The works that I do, you will do also, and greater works than these. That is the Holy Spirit fully operational in a human being, not occasional miraculous moments in specially charged spiritual atmospheres. The consistent daily governing presence of God's own power deployed through a human life that has fully yielded to the one who came to inhabit it.
The first thing the Holy Spirit came to do is reveal. John 16:13 says, "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth and he will tell you things to come." Guide you into all truth, not some truth, not the truth that is accessible through natural intelligence and theological study. All truth including the truth about your specific situation, the truth about the truth including the truth about your specific situation, the truth about the decision in front of you, the tru about what is happening in the spiritual realm around your life that your natural senses cannot detect. And he will tell you things to come. Meaning he has access to information about your future that is not available through any natural channel. and that he is committed to communicating to you through the inner man. This is not a gift reserved for prophets. This is a description of what the spirit of truth does in every believers for their personal comfort and edification alone. It was deposited in them for deployment for the active ongoing world touching work of the
