Shavuout 2022 – Some things the Ruach Hachodesh does

When we know Yeshua the Messiah, we have some great gifts.  Two of them of course is love and salvation.  Before Yeshua was taken up to heaven; He left the Holy Spirit/Ruach Hakodesh.

Acts 2-1-4 “The festival of Shavu‘ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place. ² Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them. ⁴ They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.” CJB

During this wonderful Appointed time of Shavuot, Yeshua gave us the gift of the holy spirit; He told us that we would not be left orphans and we will learn and remember his status. 

So, what are some things the Holy spirit does:

1: The Holy Spirit give us Power

Luke 24:49 “Now I am sending forth upon you what my Father promised, so stay here in the city until you have been equipped with power from above.” CJB

Acts 1:8 “ But you will receive power when the Ruach HaKodesh comes upon you; you will be my witnesses both in Yerushalayim and in all Y’hudah and Shomron, indeed to the ends of the earth!”

2: The Holy Spirit Testifies

John 16:8-11 ““When he comes, he will show that the world is wrong about sin, about righteousness and about judgment — ⁹ about sin, in that people don’t put their trust in me; ¹⁰ about righteousness, in that I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; ¹¹ about judgment, in that the ruler of this world has been judged.” CJB

4: The Holy Spirit serves as a reminder

John 16:13-4 “However, when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own initiative but will say only what he hears. He will also announce to you the events of the future.” CJB

Galatians 4:6 “Now because you are sons, God has sent forth into our hearts the Spirit of his Son, the Spirit who cries out, “Abba!” (that is, “Dear Father!”). ⁷ So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son you are also an heir.” CJB

10: Through the Holy spirit we get all sorts of gifts
