Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia. The focus for the coming few Sunday mornings is the Holy Spirit, how we recognise Him, and how we should respond to Him.  The theme is “Recognising and Responding to God’s Gift of the Holy Spirit.” Today we are talking about The Holy Spirit, A Living Gift. Many different options are available to someone who is eager to bestow a gift on someone they love.  Some gifts are inanimate in nature and last a long time. Others, like flowers, are perishable. There are also living gifts like puppies, kittens, and plants. God our Father has seen fit to bestow a living gift of a different nature within the mind and heart of each of His children at the moment of their conversion, the gift of the Holy Spirit, who is the living presence of God himself. Until next time Stay in the Blessings I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word. When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer. Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body! You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at www.refinerylife.org  When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you. So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you!
