FAQ – Releasing The Holy Spirit – Part 7

How can the Holy Spirit come on me when I fail so much?

Sounds like an enemy has been at work here. 

God’s grace and mercy, and the Holy Spirit, are poured out due only His Grace and His Goodness. 

How good would you have to be to receive the Holy Spirit?  Obviously we can never get there.

In the original languages the gifts are called the Charismata – charis meaning grace – they are the gifts of grace.

Here is some simple advice to follow:

James 4:7 (NIV)
⁷ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:10 (NIV)
¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
