   Who We Are 

The Church of the Holy Spirit is a Christian church.

We believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son
and
Holy Spirit the Comforter and Teacher.

We believe that God made the heavens and the earth,
 and gave all creatures His son, Jesus,
who died on the cross to forgive our sins
 and
to give us eternal life.

We believe Jesus went to heaven, he is now seated at God’s right hand,
 and
that God gave us Holy Spirit to teach, comfort, and guide us.
 
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God.

Who are God, Jesus and Holy Spirit?

God is our heavenly Father who created heaven and earth.  He gave us His Son, who died on a cross to allow our sins to be forgiven and give us eternal life becoming our Lord and Savior.  When Jesus died, Holy Spirit was made available to us to comfort, teach and guide us.

God in the beginning:  Genesis 1:1
Jesus:  Matthew 1, 2 & 3
Holy Spirit:  John 15:26

 

Are you one with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit?

If you have not accepted the Trinity into your life and you would like to, pray this prayer or use your own words from your heart:

“Dear Heavenly Father God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, please forgive me of my sins known and unknown.  Please come into my life, heal me and make me whole.  Give me a new life in and with you.  I wish to receive all that you have to give.  Baptize me in the fullness of your Holy Spirit, so that I can learn all I can about you to love you, and others, as you love me.  So I can love myself.  Thank you for giving me this new life.  Please send other Christians to surround me to help me grow and be strong to defeat Satan and the things of the world.  Help me to be worthy of your love.  Thank you God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.  In Jesus name I pray by and with the power of the Holy Spirit, dear Heavenly Father God.  Amen.” 

***

If you have prayed this prayer, please email us at TrinityMissions@msn.com, so we can agree with you in prayer, praise God, and uplift you with prayer support.  We are thrilled to welcome you into the family of believers and encourage you to find a church home nearby where you can study, grow and fellowship with others.  Someone may need your support as much as you need them.  We are commanded to come together in fellowship to worship His majesty.

If you choose to fellowship with us via the web, we are honored to welcome you to the Church of the Holy Spirit.  We pray you will be enriched and uplifted in the fullness of the Trinity to their glory.  Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing from time to time.  As the website grows, we will have a special page for this purpose, and, you will be able to list prayers for all to see, so that we may come together as a body of believers, for ‘wherever two or more shall gather, there will I be.’   Don’t forget to send prayers of thanksgiving, as well as petitions of tears.

You are who I call ‘The Promise Children’, as in Romans 9:25-26 NLT:

“Those who were not my people, I will now call my people.  And I will love those whom I did not love before.  And, once they were told, ‘You are not my people.’  But now he will say, ‘You are children of the living God.”

***

“The Kingdom of God is near you now.”

The Apostle Paul gave us a “Prayer for Spiritual Empowerment” in Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT.  It reads

“When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.”  

Jesus told us to remain in his love in John 15:9-13 NLT:

“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me.  Remain in my love.  When you obey me, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father and remain in his love.  I have told you this so that you will be filled with my joy.  Yes, your joy will overflow!  I command you to love each other in the same way that I love you.  And here is how to measure it - the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends."

 NEWS FLASH! 

 The King Of The Jews And Gentiles Is Alive! 

 

According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John

Jesus was crucified...nailed to a cross on Golgotha Hill!  On Friday at noon, darkness fell across the whole land until 3 p.m.  Just about then, Jesus cried out to God asking why he had been forsaken.  Someone tried to give him sour wine to moisten his lips.  He shouted out again to God offering up his spirit to him and then his spirit left him...he died.

Many bystanders and those living in the area report their beliefs and lives were changed forever, for at that moment, the curtain in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.  The earth shook, rocks split apart, tombs opened.  The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead!  Those who had risen from their graves left the cemetery and went into the holy city of Jerusalem and appeared to many people!  Many were terrified by what was called an earthquake and all that had happened.

When Jesus was placed in his grave, it was sealed and guards were posted to protect it.  Three days later, early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, an angel who had come down from heaven appeared causing an earthquake, and, the stone sealing his grave was rolled away by the angel. The guards shook with fear when they saw the angel, and fell into a dead faint!  The angel announced to his Mother, Mary, and to Mary of Magdalena, that Jesus was raised from the dead and they were to go to Galilee where they could be with him. 

With great joy, as they were rushing to tell his disciples, Jesus met them saying, "Greetings!".  They held his feet and worshiped him.  He told them not to cling to him because he had not yet ascended to the Father.   

He lives!  He arose from the grave and He lives!  He IS the Son of God!

Jesus had told his disciples prior to his crucifiction, 'After three days I will be raised from the dead' and he was!

Hail the King of the Jews and the Gentiles!

According to Matthew the tax collector, a disciple of Jesus, before Jesus permanently arose to heaven to sit at God's right hand he left this message:  "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.  And be sure of this:  I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Mark, a disciple who traveled with the Apostle Paul, told us that Jesus said, "Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved.  But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned."  

Eight days after he arose from the grave, Jesus appeared to Thomas, who was not in the locked room the night Jesus appeared to the disciples as a body of believers.  He told Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands.  Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don't be faithless any longer.  Believe!  Thomas exclaimed, "My Lord and my God!"  Jesus then told him, "You believe because you have seen me.  Blessed are those who haven't seen me and believe anyway."

Thank you God.  Thank you Jesus....Hosanna in the highest.  Blessed are you who came in the name of the Lord.  Alleluia.  Thank you Holy Spirit.  Thank you Mary.  Thank you Joseph.  Thank you all who have shared your experience and documented the history so that we, generations later, might have the opportunity to learn who Jesus is and what he offers us.  May we all believe and bow down, as we worship the ever living ever loving Jesus Christ, and make him Lord of our lives, as we praise his holy name.  Alleluia.  Amen.   

May this Easter bring you a new found joy as you renew in your heart, or place your trust for the first time, in the Savior of the world.  Alleluia.  Amen. 

Go forth with a new saving grace....tell the world....our Lord reigns on high...he lives!  The King of the Jews and the Gentiles lives!  Alleluia!  Amen!

Let us hear from Paul as he prays:  

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT

  Our Current Cause

It is time to reach into the community and the world around you to see wherein lies the greatest need.  As you choose to focus on these areas, do so with a servant's heart.  Whether the need is for children, adults, or animals, or any cause in between that will help those in need, ask God how you can best serve his needs, what path you must take, and how long you should persevere.  Sometimes we are to be in the lives of others merely as stepping stones.  Sometimes we are to touch those lives forever.  Whatever journey you are called to take, whatever team you will be a member, know this:  God is with you always...even til the end of time.  He loves you, is grateful for you, and will help you along life's way, especially if you are helping others along theirs, persevering with a servant's heart. 

Please accept my sincerest thanks....and God's....and may God richly bless you!

    One last thing....

 

 Jesus' Prayer of Thanksgiving

'The Unforced Rhythms of Grace'

 

"Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer:  "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.  You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people.  Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work."

Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly.  "The Father has given me all these things to do and say.  This is a unique Father - Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge.  No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does.  But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen."

"Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real rest.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn how to live freely and lightly.

 

  Matthew 11:  25-30

  The Message

 

And the people said,

"Amen."

I now write most prayers in the position of ' I ' (first person) because most people are sitting at their computer alone, not in groups, and it allows those reading and praying to personalize the prayer as coming from them going to God.  Variations may appear on holidays when families may wish to use the prayer provided.
