I have seen the Holy Spirit move more this year and this semester than any other in my life. He is the real deal. Notice that the Holy Spirit is not an "it." The scripture below specifically says "who."

Isaiah 59
21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the LORD.

I've been able to recognize the Holy Spirit in my life but never like this before. It's becoming harder and there are more challenges of the heart when it comes to my encounters with the Holy Spirit. Prophecy is a big thing I have learned a lot about this year. To practice prophesying over people; basically covering people with prayer that the Holy Spirit is leading. My life verse/favorite verse in the bible is about prayer and the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

My Spirit has been challenged with difficulties this year. Overcoming them has only made it stronger. No way I would have even been able to begin to overcome them if it wasn't for God. So New challenges present themselves and I go back to the word and prayer. Steps in the right direction. This is preparation for what's ahead.

I remember going on a walk with a good friend of mine before school began this year and we talked for a long while about the excitement we were feeling for the upcoming year. Both our spirits and other peoples spirits were filled with this unexplainable excitement for something BIG happening at Regent. So much has happened this year, but the year isn't over just yet. There is still more to come and more to experience. Maybe these past months have been what our Spirits were excited for or maybe it is to come. In all we will never know the vastness of wonder before us. It will be great to look back on it and smile.
