Here are 5 good verses telling us that Holy Spirit now literally lives on inside of us and that our bodies are now considered actual temple of Holy Spirit.

• "Or do you not know that your body is temple of Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." (1 Corinthians 6:19
• "Do you not know that you are temple of God and that Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16)
• "If anyone defiles temple of God, God will destroy him. For temple of God is holy, which temple you are." (1 Corinthians 3:17)
• "But you are not in flesh but in spirit,if indeed Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have Spirit of Christ, he is not His." (Romans 8:9)
• "But if Spirit who raised Jesus from dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." (Romans 8:11)

When Holy Spirit initially comes to us - He will literally take up residence in our human spirits. However, I believe that there is a second experience that can occur where Holy Spirit will release from your human spirit to come up into your soul area. This second experience has been called by many "Baptism of Holy Spirit."

Our spirits are baptized with His presence at moment of salvation, but our souls can also be baptized with His presence. For a detailed explanation on what this second experience is all about and how to go about actually receiving it - go to my article titled "How to Receive Baptism of Holy Spirit" under "Bible Basics" page.

3. Sealed with Holy Spirit

As a result of having received presence of Holy Spirit Himself at moment of our conversions, Bible tells us that we have now been "sealed" with His presence. Here are 3 good verses all using word "seal" in reference to Holy Spirit now living on inside of us and a fourth verse that says that Holy Spirit has been given to us as a "guarantee."

• "And do not grieve Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30)
• "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also sealed us and given us Spirit in our hearts as a deposit." (2 Corinthians 1:21)
• "In Him you also trusted, after you heard word of truth, gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with Holy Spirit of promise, who is guarantee of our inheritance until redemption of purchased possession, to praise of His glory." (Ephesians 1:13)
• "Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us Spirit as a guarantee." (2 Corinthians 5:5 )

Conclusion

But for right now, for those of you who have not received Baptism of Holy Spirit where He is now residing up in your soul area, I would highly recommend that you go to my article titled "How to Receive Baptism of Holy Spirit".

If you are willing to take this extra step and receive this second gift that is available to all believers - your whole life will take a major turn in Lord.

In other words, Holy Spirit will start to produce fruit and Godly change into your personality and life. But Holy Spirit always needs knowledge to work with and individual Scripture verses give Him knowledge in which He can start molding and transforming process within you. It’s Word and Spirit working together that will start transformation and sanctification process within each person.

For those who would like to read a good book on this man, there is a small 157 page paperback book titled "Smith Wigglesworth - Apostle of Faith." The author is Stanley Howard Frodsham. You can click on link and order it from Parable.com Christian bookstore online. It talks about all of his "secrets" and a lot of unbelievable healings that he had in his ministry. In addition to healing ministry that he had, he also was a powerful evangelist and won many souls to Kingdom of God. He traveled throughout most of Europe and United States.

In all my research this man, in my opinion, may have been one of greatest eagles to have ever walked this earth. He truly tapped into real power of God and God used him mightily in getting people saved, healed and delivered.

The funny thing about him is that most Christians have never heard of him. He was non-denominational. He did not belong to any one Church or denomination and he went wherever Holy Spirit would lead him. He perfectly followed leadings he received from Holy Spirit on a daily basis as to where he should go, what he should do, who he should see, etc.

They say his second secret, besides his high level of faith that was responsible for all of his success, was his ability to mesh with and follow leadings of Holy Spirit on a daily basis - and that is what being a real eagle for God is all about. Eagles have to learn to fly on strong wind thermals in order to be able to fly to heights that no other bird can - and Eagles of God have to be able to mesh with and follow leadings and directions of Holy Spirit if they want to accomplish great things for God. That is why I call this man a True Eagle of God - because he was able to master skill of being able to read and move with Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
