I have received many emails from people asking about the Holy Spirit and I see their interest in receiving the Holy Spirit. On the other hand I have received emails from people saying that through the blog posts and videos they have received the Holy Spirit.

I recently received an email from a lady in another country. This lady said she was praying with me through the video and the Holy Spirit came upon her. Her words were “I did not receive any emotions or any feelings, but I have the assurance that the Holy Spirit is upon me”.

Now this lady is a rich woman. She is rich not because she received money, but because she received the Holy Spirit! Perhaps you received goods, properties, you have a lot of money in your savings. You have titles and deeds under your name, but you are not rich with God.

When a person dies, there is no drawer in the coffin for you to put all your goods to be buried with you. When you are rich with God, everything and everyone can be taken away from you, but inside of you, you are still happy.

See what the Lord said to a man who had everything but he was still a fool before God. He did not have God. You can be rich, you can have many goods and many properties, but if you do not have the Spirit of God, what you have will be taken away. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of life.

But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ Luke 12:20

Don’t be a fool! Take care of your salvation now. That’s why we are prepared for this Sunday, the Great Day of the Prayer from Mt. Hermon. When the Bishops stretch out their hands to pass on the blessing of the Holy Spirit, those that are present or are participating in the service through our Facebook page (Showdown of Faith) shall all be filled and transformed. The wise prepare for such a day, the fool despises it.

May the God of the Bible bless all of you!

Bishop Bira Fonseca
