The Holy Spirit In Any Language

    

     In Spanish He is called, del Espíritu Santo. In French He is called du Saint-Esprit. While in Italian He is Spirito Santo, and in German He is referred to as des heiligen Geistes. In the Book of Acts in English, He is the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost. 

      In the book of Acts when Peter encountered a group of persons who were mocking those who had been filled with the Holy Ghost, he said: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." —Acts 2:38b. His message was clear, and it was indeed for all men and women who desired salvation.

     In Ephesians 5:18-21, Paul continued the message of the way the Holy Spirit should impact a Christians live life when he spoke to a group of Spirit Filled Christians who did not know their own power. He told them: " ...be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" Ephesians 5:18-19.

     In German that Paul's message is read as : Und berauschet euch nicht mit Wein, was eine Liederlichkeit ist, sondern werdet voll Geistes, —und redet miteinander in Psalmen und Lobgesängen und geistlichen Liedern und singet und spielet dem Herrn in eurem Herzen und saget allezeit Gott, dem Vater, Dank für alles, in dem Namen unsres Herrn Jesus Christus, und seid dabei einander untertan in der Furcht Christi. —Epheser 5:18-21

     While in Spanish Paul's message is: "No os embriaguéis con vino, en lo cual hay disolución; antes bien sed llenos del Espíritu, hablando entre vosotros con salmos, con himnos y cánticos espirituales, cantando y alabando al Señor en vuestros corazones; dando siempre gracias por todo al Dios y Padre, en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Someteos unos a otros en el temor de Dios". —Efesios 5:18-21

     No matter what the language is, or who the people are, the message from above is clear, Christians must ,"BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD", or SEI VOM GEIST GOTTES ERFUELLT or SED LLENOS DEL ESPIRITU DE DIOS. And subsequently, "......after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me. —Acts 1:8a
     
May GOD richly bless you all and may you all remember to: :Praise the Lord always and be filled with His Spirit!!!
