Today, we will present three selected signs that testify to the presence of the Holy Spirit in human life. The Holy Spirit is an extraordinary presence in the life of every believer. He enlightens our hearts, guides our steps and transforms our thoughts. Awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is one of the most precious gifts we receive as children of God. But how can we be sure that we actually have the Holy Spirit? In this video, we will focus on three selected signs that testify to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
These are not just empty declarations, but concrete signs that manifest in our daily activities and relationships. These signs not only confirm our acceptance of the Holy Ghost, but also help us grow spiritually and grow in our relationship with God. We encourage you to watch the film in its entirety, which reveals three signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. One of the signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is longing for God's presence. The Holy Spirit awakens in us the desire to be in close relationship with God and the longing for His presence.
This longing is one of the main signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Holy Spirit, being the Third Divine Person, is present inside us, leading us to get closer to God and fulfill this desire. In the Holy Scriptures we can find numerous examples of people who experienced longing for God's presence. David, one of the most important biblical figures, repeatedly expressed his desire to be close to God. In Psalm 42 we read: "As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God! My soul longs for God, the living God: when shall I come and see the face of God?
" saying, "My soul misses you at night and my spirit seeks you. These desires are an expression of a spiritual desire to get closer to God and experience His presence in our lives. The Holy Spirit who dwells in us as believers is the one who makes us yearn for God's presence. It is He who inspires our hearts to desire to draw closer to God, to pray, contemplate and worship Him. The Holy Spirit works within us, fueling our spiritual desire for His presence. Longing for God's presence manifests itself in various forms in our lives.
It may be a desire to spend time in prayer, where we talk to God and listen to His voice. It may be a desire to study the Scriptures where God reveals His teachings and truths to us. It can also be a desire to participate in the holy mass and services, where we can worship God together and listen to His Word. As we can see, longing for God's presence is a sign that the Holy Spirit is active in our lives. This longing is like a fire that burns in our heart and leads us to become more and more involved in our spirituality.
One way the Holy Spirit awakens a longing for God's presence is by reminding us of our spiritual hunger and need for conversion. We often feel that our spiritual lives require renewal and a deeper immersion in our relationship with God. The Holy Spirit shows us our imperfections, sins, and weaknesses so that we can direct our hearts to God. It is He who awakens in us the desire for purification, conversion and holiness. The Holy Spirit not only awakens our longing, but also fills it. When we open our hearts and allow ourselves to be guided by the Holy Spirit, we experience His presence, comfort and transformation. It is in His presence that we find true joy, peace, and strength to transform our lives.
Longing for God's presence, however, is not a one-off event, but a continuous process that develops in our spiritual life. The Holy Spirit constantly leads us to deeper spheres of relationship with God and longing for His presence. This is a sign of the dynamic work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Another sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is the spiritual fruits that emerge as a result of His work in our hearts and minds. Spiritual fruit is a beautiful manifestation of the spiritual transformation that takes place when we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives.
Spiritual fruit is listed in Galatians chapter five, where we read: "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." This is an amazing list of qualities that testify to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The first spiritual fruit is love. The love that the Holy Spirit pours into our hearts is the love of God that pervades our relationships with others. It is not love based on our strength or human feelings, but God's love, which is full of sacrifice and mercy. The Holy Spirit leads us to a love that forgives, serves, sustains, and bears witness to God. Another spiritual fruit is joy. The joy that comes from the Holy Spirit is not dependent on external circumstances.
It is a joy that comes from the certainty of salvation, the closeness of God and the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit pours joy into our hearts, which is an extraordinary source of strength and perseverance in difficult situations. Peace is another spiritual fruit. The Holy Spirit brings us a peace that surpasses understanding. It is the peace that reigns in our hearts, even in the midst of life's storms and difficulties. It is the peace that comes from knowing that God is with us and in control of every situation. The next Spiritual fruit is patience, which testifies to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Patience is the ability to persevere in difficult times, to tolerate the imperfections of others, and to wait for God to act. The Holy Spirit inspires patience in us, which comes from God's grace and power. It is He who teaches us to wait for His time and trust His plan. Kindness is another spiritual fruit. Courtesy means that we treat others with respect, kindness and care. The Holy Spirit shapes our attitudes and words so that we will be kind and gentle with others, regardless of the circumstances. The next Spiritual fruit is goodness. Kindness manifests itself in our willingness to help, support and do good to others.
The Holy Spirit transforms our hearts to become a source of God's goodness to others. Another Spiritual fruit is fidelity, which is inherent in a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit. Faithfulness means being steadfast in our commitments to God and others. Faithfulness, as a spiritual fruit, manifests itself in our ability to keep our promises, be reliable and loyal. The Holy Ghost strengthens our faithfulness so that we can be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and continue in our relationship with God.
Meekness is another spiritual fruit that manifests itself as our ability to deal with difficulties and conflicts humbly and meekly. The Holy Spirit shapes our attitudes so that we will be gentle in our words, reactions and actions towards others. Self-control, the last spiritual fruit, is present in our lives as the ability to control our emotions, thoughts and behavior.
 
The Holy Ghost helps us control our desires, resist temptation, and behave in a way that is God's will. Spiritual fruit is the result of the inner transformation that the Holy Spirit brings about in our lives.

These are not qualities that we can create ourselves, but are the result of our cooperation with the Holy Spirit and our opening to His action in us. Spiritual fruitage not only affects our personal lives but also our relationships with others. When we are filled with the Holy Ghost and express spiritual fruit, our relationships become more harmonious, loving, and respectful. The presence of spiritual fruit in our lives is a visible sign that the Holy Spirit is active and active in us. It is also a testimony to other people about our faithfulness to God and our devotion to His service.

Bringing these fruits into our lives requires constant work and cooperation with the Holy Spirit. It is a lifelong process in which we become more like Jesus Christ and reflect His image in our actions. The final sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives discussed in this video is the desire to obey God. A person possessing the Holy Spirit wants to live according to God's will and is willing to obey His commandments. In today's world where everyone is striving for individualism and self-centeredness, obedience to God can be difficult. However, for a person who has the Holy Spirit, the desire to obey becomes natural and essential in his life. This is one of the clear signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our heart and mind. Jesus Christ, being the Son of God, was the perfect example of obedience to God the Father.

His whole life was full of devotion to the will of the Father and the realization of His plan of salvation. Jesus told his disciples, "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me." This is a clear statement that the true expression of love for Jesus lies in obedience to His commandments. Obedience to God is not just a set of external commands and prohibitions, but results from a genuine desire and love for God. A person possessed of the Holy Spirit experiences a change of heart that leads to a desire to live according to God's will. This is not a forced necessity, but an expression of love for God.

The desire to obey God is the result of an intimate relationship with Him. When the Holy Spirit dwells within us, He transforms our desires and goals so that they become compatible with God's plans. Saint Paul wrote: "For God works in you, giving you both the will and the ability to do his good will." It is the work of the Holy Spirit that leads us to desire and strive to obey God. moral commandments, but also in submitting to His will in everyday life. This means that our decisions, choices and actions are guided by God's guidance. Jesus said: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "

This means that the desire to obey God also includes our spiritual food - the Word of God, which is our guide and source of wisdom. The desire to obey God also leads us to conversion and mortification. When the Holy Spirit reveals our sins and imperfections to us, we are willing to humbly change and turn away from evil ways. However, the desire to obey God is not just a matter of a one-time act of conversion. It is a process of continually developing our relationship with God and growing in holiness.

Jesus said, "If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me." clear signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This desire is the fruit of an intimate relationship with God, a change of heart, and spiritual growth. In conclusion,

in today's video we have found that a longing for God's presence, spiritual fruits, and a desire to obey God are clear indicators that the Spirit The saint is active in our hearts, these are the extraordinary gifts that God gives us to lead us to greater intimacy with Him and to a f
