God’s Spirit speaks to us through His words

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:24)

 God’s Spirit within us empowers, changes, transforms, reforms, inspires, and moves us to do God’s will, whether it’s to love others, to witness, to teach, to preach, to speak, to create. The Holy Spirit is the living presence of God who dwells within us, and it is the Holy Spirit’s transformative influence that guides our conscience and empowers us to live according to God’s truth.
 God’s Spirit speaks to us through His words, first through the Bible and then through other means, whether the writings or words of others, or through prophecy. The Word prepares the ground of our hearts for the work of the Holy Spirit and opens our hearts, minds, and spirits to the influence of the Spirit.
 As with other things, how a person responds to the conviction of the Spirit in his or her life is a matter of personal choice and faith, but it is important to do our part to strive to be open and adaptable to the movement of the Spirit in our hearts and lives.
 The Bible is God revealing Himself to humankind. It’s through understanding the Word of God that we discover God’s plan for us. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 After more than 60 years of almost daily reading of the Bible, I never fail to find it always new and marvellously in tune with the changing needs of every day. —Cecil B. DeMille (1881–1959)
