  Holy Spirit
every atom of my body began trembling and i felt someone had gone through of it when i read this part. guess i will keep zapped by it as i read along eh.

Dennis Benneth, the Episcopal priest who helped to introduec charismatic renewal into the mainline denominations, often compared the Holy Spirit to a guest who comes to your home:
While you are in the kitchen preparing refreshment, Benneth said, your guest sits quietly in your living room waiting for you to come and talk with Him. He doesnt barge into your kitchen and say, "I am waiting for you." instead, he may wait for hours until you sit down and talk with him. He is a total Gentleman and does not force Himself on anyone.
The Holy Spirit is just such a Gentleman. He will not intrude into our lives or force His presence upon us. But He will stay ever so close to those who desire His company.
We need to welcome the Holy Spirit into every area of our daily lives by allowing Him to do His work in us and through us-at home, on the job, in school, at church whereever we are. His wonderful presence should grace our prayer closets, our Bible studies, our worship, and our relationship with other people.
He longs to become your clostest Companion and Helper. But it's up to you to extend the invitation. He is waiting for you to say, "Welcome, Holy Spirit."

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
