Bible shows: The Holy Spirit of Jesus lives in each believer in the NT Church

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

In the Old Testament God gave the Holy Spirit to the prophets.  But the people had to come to a prophet to hear the will of God.

In the New Testament all who belong to God are given the Holy Spirit of God to teach them all things, to remind them of that which Jesus has said, to guide them into all truth, and to show them things to come.  (John 14:26 & John 16:13)

Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds;

 

So now, in the New Testament church, we no longer have to go to a prophet to inquire of God.  We have the Holy Spirit living in us.  Jesus tells us this in the following scripture:

 

John 7

37  In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto ME (The Word), and drink.

38 He that believeth on me (The Word), as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

 

After Jesus died and was taken into heaven, the Holy Spirit of Jesus was given to each believer to live inside that believer to guide that believer into all truth!

Bible shows Holy Spirit lives in the believer:

I Corinthians 3:16   Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

 

I Corinthians 6:19-20   What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?   For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

 

II Corinthians 13:5   Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Romans 8 

7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Jesus lives in each believer today by that Spirit which God gives us after we believe the Word.
