The truth of God's word is illuminated in the hearts of those that have a pure heart towards the word of God.
The process begins with a hearing ear, hearing in the spirit of man.
Second the hearer of the word believes in his heart (spirit) the word of God the seed is then planted into man's heart.
The person that then is a doer or keeper of the word will walk in the light of any goven topic as you follow this process on any bible topic
This is a brief summation of the process of faith and you will find this truth in the parable of the sower.
The Person of the Holy Spirit is not available to the world, only to one that has received Jesus and it is clearly revealed in scripture receiving the Holy Spirit is subsequent to receiving the Lord Jesus.
There are promise made by Jesus that are only received in fullness by receiving the Holy Spirit as taugh in the first mention in the book of Acts, here are some of those promises:
Lu 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
Jn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Jn 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Jn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Jn 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Jn 14:18 � I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
It was Jesus that said it is better that I go away that I might send unto you the Holy Spirit
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The lord Jesus made this a high priority to the early disciples as his intruction's was to go and wait until you have received the promise of the father
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Now the next verse's are the first mention in the word of God and establish the will of God for all that will hear and believe.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The traditions of men have come up with many opiniopn's of the account but their is only one truth.
ALL RECEIVED AND ALL SPOKE AS THEY WHERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST WITNESS AND OUR SECOND WITNESS WILL SPEAK TO THIS EVENT VERY CLEARLY.

Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
It is reafirmed again in this account, faith has been given to any that will hear this truth and accept it by faith.
It is a choice you can have the perfect will of God for every believer or you can reject it.
The Holy Spirit would make a great Christmas Gift to any that will receive him.
