Connecting with the Holy Spirit: A Guided Journey
The presentation of these words is in a very Hebraic style rather than Greek. So, jump in anywhere you choose.
If you are a person that always reads the last chapter of a book first, these GIFT words will serve you well. If you are a browser, flip through them until a word, a passage or a title catches your eye.
Some of the words are challenging and often my thinking has been turned upside down. Correction and discipline are not concepts we are used to, but Abba Father disciplines and instructs those He loves.
Hebrews 12:6 “For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes.” AMPC.
Deuteronomy 8:5-6 “You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you. You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him”. WEB.
My communication with Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) is by intuitive flow, sometimes word by word and some‐ times in torrents. Most times I will be given a heading or a subject and sometime later I will be given the text. This can happen in a coffee shop, a library or any quiet place. It’s a matter of simply going with the flow. A physical interruption does not destroy the flow and if interrupted Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) will pick up where we left off.
