I guess it was the title of a sermon but it read: &#8220;Holy Spirit: Third Wheel? Or Third Person of The Trinity?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That could probably describe many churches who treat the Holy Spirit like a &#8220;third wheel&#8221;. The truth is the Holy Spirit is just as much God as the Father and Jesus. If you&#8217;re Christian, the Holy Spirit indwells you, but we often don&#8217;t realize this or we suppress this truth and act as if it weren&#8217;t true. If we were attuned to God, we would realize the power that resides within us. Actually, if we were smart we would get out of the way, so that the Holy Spirit can do his work in us and through us. And in reality, without the Holy Spirit, all of our efforts probably wouldn&#8217;t amount to much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I say all of this because I&#8217;m realizing how much I need to surrender myself to God, The Holy Spirit. If you really want to experience God, get in touch with the Holy Spirit within you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is the Holy Spirit a reality in your life, or do you hardly recognize his presence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I once saw an ingenious statement posted on a Pentecostal church sign.
