Soul Food Validia M Giddens

As Christians, we believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we immediately receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This initial interaction with The Holy Spirit has a profound effect on us. It can have the ability to transform us from our natural being who is under the influence of our human fleshly desires to the spirit filled being who possesses the capacity to succumb or submit to the will of God. The Holy Spirit, as the third person of the Trinity, is the spiritual presence which connects us to God. He is a person and as such He needs sustenance to survive. Just like the body requires food and nourishment to thrive, so must the soul be fed if it is to grow and flourish. Therefore we must give the Holy Spirit what He requires on a regular basis, the nutrients of the Word of God, which allows the affects and power of the Holy Spirit to become more evident in our lives.
