More claptrap! Cliche's cliches"
Have faith
God works in mysterious ways
Believe in Him
Holy Ghost Where does this term come from? Ghost? who has seen one? Holy? a word coined by main to indicate something belonging to a deity. Even the Pharoes's Sceptre was caled "holy"
Holy Bible what's holy about a book that contains religious fables that are often found to be distortions of the truth or mistranslated from the original scriptures. Or even changed by kings and other religions to suit their own purpose.
Some people quote passages as if they are facts. They are definitely not facts and many have been disproved and found to be ambiguous or mistranslated. So forget that aspect of so called proof.
Open your heart!
what another total load of rubbish. The heart is a pump and has no memory or awareness of its self.
Open your MIND and stop being narrow in your views and realize that you are following like sheep without question.
He who asks no questions or questions his teachers will learn very little and be as ignorant as they!

If you have ever excepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the spirit of God has come to live in you, but He will not override your will and actions.
So you have to consciously surrender to the will of the spirit of God and He will begin to work in your life.
It takes time for him to make serious changes in your life, because you have to get used to allowing Him to control your life.
Some never reach that level, and the spirit of God does not work through them.
Some say that you get some of the spirit when you believe in Jesus, and then later you get an infilling of the spirit of God.
That is not true.
You get what you are going to get when you first accept Jesus in your life, but you don't have the power of the Holy Spirit until you have completely given over your will to the will of the Holy Spirit.
Some refuse to do that.
Some want to be the captain of their own ship.

You're not going to "get the Spirit of God to work" it's the Holy Spirit who will get you to work. Study the Holy Word and with genuine submission to His will He will be able to use you to do His work.
Seek to serve Him in love submitting to the will of God and preserve His peace that He will continue to abide in you.
Read read read your bible. This honors God and equips you to be of service.

First go do something that makes you feel good.ask yourself what it is.Maybe play w/ a pet,talk w/ a friend about something you both enjoy.Do something to make someone smile,these seemingly little things will be like seeds coming back to you when you need it most.Call it karma,alloing the holy spirit to work through you,or call it just doing the right thing.but in turn all things move in cirlces....

If you are a true believer in Christ, then the Holy Spirit is already working in your life in his way. He maybe doing it through some avenue that you are not aware of. Your responsiblity is to be willing to go where He leads you. Let Him do the rest!!

Read the book of acts. this is the plan of salvation, specifically verse 2 38
after this, put much time into studying the word, prayor, and much time in sunday school, bible class, and saints meeting.
the more you study, the more you know, the more God can use you. from there just give God time to give you wisdom.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.
All gifts are received by faith.
It depends on how much the seed of God's word has taken root in your heart. Really study Mark 4 the parable of the sower and the parable explanation Jesus gives.
Then study on the gifts of the Spirit. If you truly believe, it will happen according to your faith.
Let the word take root in the good soil of your heart.

You don't. God works in whom He chooses for His purposes. Make your life about studying His word, and being a doer of His word. Be humble, loving, kind, merciful, and be available. He will use you when and if He does, for His glory alone.
