1 " ...if a person remains in a state of unforgiveness the Spirit of the Lord will allow tormentors to enter him. That's what Christ told Peter when the disciple asked, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" (Matt. 18:21). "

2 " What happens to a marriage when one partner ignores the other? After a short period of time bitterness begins to enter the heart. Words begin to cut like a sharp knife. Soon the animosity turns to anger, jealousy, and even worse. For many it results in separation, divorce, and hatred. But the rift can so easily be mended.All it takes is a fresh surrender that comes from your very soul.And a renewing of the vow to “love, honor, and cherish. "
3 " Jehovah is the name of the triune being—not the name of just one of them. The Father is called Jehovah. The Son is called Jehovah.The Holy Ghost is called Jehovah. When "
4 " When you read that familiar verse you come to the conclusion that the enemy comes in like a flood. But I’ve got news for you: the flood is the Holy Ghost, not the devil.You "
5 " On the other hand, it is God the Son who performs the commands of the Father.When God the Father said, “Let there be light,” God the Son came and performed it.Then, God the Holy Spirit brought the light. Let me illustrate it this way. If I asked you, “Please turn on the light,” three forces would be involved. First, I would be the one who gave the command. Second, you would be the one who walks to the switch and flips it. In other words, you are the performer of the command. But finally, who brings on the light? It is not me, and it is not you. It is the power—the electricity—that produces light. The Holy Spirit is the power of God. He is the power of the Father and of the Son. He is the one who brings into action the performance of the Son. Yet He is a person. He has emotions which are expressed in a way unique among the Trinity. I’ve been asked,“Benny, aren’t you forgetting the importance of Christ in all of this?” Never! How could I forget the One who loved and died for me? But some people are so focused on the Son that they forget the Father—the one who loved them and sent His Son. I cannot forget the Father nor the Son. But I cannot be in touch with the Father and the Son without the Holy Spirit (see Eph. 2:18). "
6 " El Espíritu Santo es una persona. Igual que tú, Él puede sentir, percibir y responder. Él se duele. Él tiene la habilidad de amar y la habilidad de odiar. Él habla, y tiene Su propia voluntad. Pero exactamente, ¿quién es Él? El Espíritu Santo es el Espíritu de Dios el Padre y el Espíritu de Dios el Hijo. Él es el poder de la Deidad—el poder de la Trinidad. ¿Cuál es Su obra? La obra del Espíritu es traer el mandamiento del Padre y la ejecución del Hijo. Para entender la obra del Espíritu Santo necesitamos entender la obra del Padre y del Hijo. Dios el Padre es el que da el mandamiento. Él es el que siempre ha dicho: «Sea hecho». Desde el principio, ha sido Dios, quién da las órdenes. Por otro lado, es Dios el Hijo quien ejecuta el mandamiento del Padre. Cuando Dios el Padre dijo: «Sea la luz», Dios el Hijo vino y lo hizo. Luego, Dios el Espíritu Santo trajo la luz. Permíteme ilustrarlo en esta forma. Si yo te pido: «Por favor, enciende la luz», tres fuerzas estarían envueltas. Primero, yo sería el que daría la orden. Segundo, tú serías el que iría al interruptor y lo enciendes. En otras palabras, tú eres el ejecutor de la orden. Pero finalmente, ¿quién trae la luz? No soy yo, ni tú. Es el poder—la electricidad—lo que produce la luz. El Espíritu Santo es el poder de Dios. Él es el poder del Padre y del Hijo. Él es quien ejecuta la obra del Hijo. "
7 " What I am talking about is beyond speaking in tongues.Yes, I did speak in a heavenly language, but it was much more than that.The Holy Spirit became real. He became my friend. He became my companion, my counselor. "
8 " The words “be filled” in Ephesians have no connection to a bottle or a vessel being filled.The Greek present tense is used to tell you that the filling of the Spirit is not a once-and-for-all experience. It’s a continuing experience. Have you ever spent a day on a sailboat? It’s a great thrill.What happens to the boat when the sails are filled? The ship begins to move.That’s what Paul is telling you. He wants you to be filled, not like a container that has no action but like a sail that continues to be filled with wind. Over and over again. He wants you to move forward with the never-ending breeze of the Spirit filling your spiritual sails. "
9 " La rendición total trae llenura total, y su misión total trae comunión total. Pero como el matrimonio, tienes que trabajar en eso cada día: «Jesús, yo te amo»; «Padre Dios yo te adoro»; «Precioso Espíritu Santo, anhelo tu comunión». Si descuidas la comunicación sólo un día, la próxima vez será un poco más difícil. "
10 " No dejes pasar un día sin una rendición fresca al Señor. Pablo escribió: «Por tanto, no desmayamos; antes aunque este nuestro hombre exterior se va gastando, el interior no obstante se renueva de día en día» (2 Corintios 4.16). La rendición tiene que ser continua, un interminable vaciarse de uno mismo ante el Señor. Y cuando lo hayas hecho un hábito, comenzarás a experimentar la unión perfecta, comunión perfecta, entendimiento perfecto y amor perfecto. "
