Summary
Today we’ll explore who the Holy Spirit is, and what that means for knowing the heart of God richly in our daily lives. The concept of God’s Spirit is often seen as elusive, but it’s my hope today we’ll come to know him as a person—just as we have Jesus. The Spirit longs to have a beautiful, deep friendship with you. And all it takes is opening our hearts to him.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 16:13, and today's worship is Holy Spirit by Kari Jobe.

| 0:00.0 | Today we'll explore who the Holy Spirit is and what that means for knowing the heart of God, |
| 0:11.1 | ritually in our daily lives. The concept of God's spirit is often seen as elusive, but it's |
| 0:18.7 | my hope today will come to know Him as a person, just as we have |
| 0:22.9 | with Jesus. The Spirit longs to have a beautiful, deep friendship with you, and all it takes |
| 0:29.7 | is opening our hearts to him. Welcome to the First 15 podcast. |
| 0:45.3 | The Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us as believers is our gateway to the heart of God. |
| 0:50.3 | It's through Him that we can know the thoughts, emotions, and will of the Father. |
| 0:56.0 | It's through Him that we grow in our revelation of God through Scripture, and it's through Him that we encounter God's manifest presence. In John 1613, Jesus says, when the Spirit |
| 1:04.9 | of Truth comes, He will guide you in all truth, for He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he |
| 1:12.9 | will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 1 Corinthians 2, 10 through |
| 1:19.6 | 11 says, the spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's |
| 1:25.6 | thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him. |
| 1:29.9 | So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. |
| 1:36.0 | Encountering the heart of God through the Holy Spirit is meant to be normal for believers. |
| 1:42.3 | It's not supposed to be weird to hear from God. It's not only |
| 1:45.6 | for the chosen few to know God's heart moment to moment. We're created to know the Father and |
| 1:51.9 | the Son by the Holy Spirit. We're created for real, authentic, and transformative relationship |
| 1:58.2 | with the entire Godhead. Unless we allow God to create a new normal |
| 2:03.3 | for us, we will never experience the fullness of life Jesus died to give us. Unless we open our |
| 2:10.4 | hearts to the Spirit and allow Him to teach us how to live life and communion with Him, we |
| 2:16.3 | will never be rooted and grounded in God's love and |
| 2:20.0 | grace. And without being rooted in the love of God, the storms of this life will always wreak |
