RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL, TUESDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2026. PASTOR CHRIS
TOPIC: ✨ THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT ‘JUNIOR’ GOD ✨
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).
Many readily acknowledge God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ but fail to recognise the Holy Spirit for who He truly is. Some think of Him merely as an influence, a power, or an unseen force at work in their lives. But the Holy Spirit isn't an influence or a power separate from God. He is God.
The Lord Jesus revealed this truth when He said, “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?...the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works” (John 14:10). The Father who dwelt in Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Every miracle, every healing, every act of divine power that Jesus wrought was by the Holy Spirit.
Never think of the Holy Spirit as though He were less than the Father or less than Jesus. He isn't “junior” God. He's the Spirit of the Father. He's one with the Father and one with the Son. To know Him is to know God, because He’s Himself God. This is why your relationship with the Holy Spirit is so vital. You're not relating to an influence; you're walking with God Himself.
He teaches you, guides you, strengthens you, and reveals the will of the Father to you. As you recognise His divine Person, your fellowship with Him becomes richer, your confidence in His leading grows stronger, and His glory is manifested in and through your life in a greater measure.
Recognise and honour the Holy Spirit as God. Listen to Him, and yield to His guidance. He’s the One who reveals the Father, glorifies the Lord Jesus, and works in you both to will and to do of God's good pleasure.
PRAYER
Dear Holy Spirit, I recognise and honour you as God. Thank you for your presence in my life, for teaching me, guiding me, and revealing the Father's will to me. I yield myself completely to your leading, and through you I continually manifest the wisdom, power and glory of God, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Acts 5:3-4 KJV
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? [4] Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
John 16:13-14 KJV
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 14:16-20 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
