Foreword<br />

Words escaped me when we first discussed this.<br />

Spending <strong>the</strong> past <strong>50</strong> <strong>days</strong> giving <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit my full attention as I followed <strong>the</strong><br />

prompting from <strong>the</strong> Word, just opened up a whole new dimension to my relationship<br />

<strong>with</strong> My Fa<strong>the</strong>r, My Redeemer and Saviour (Jesus Christ) and My Constant Friend,<br />

Advisor, Confidant, Guide and intimate Friend (The Holy Spirit).<br />

I was reminded <strong>of</strong> His Word in Mat<strong>the</strong>w 28 verses 18 and 19, where He clearly instructs<br />

us to make Disciples (disciplined ones), Baptise <strong>the</strong>m (In obedience to <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

indicating our preparedness to die for Him and be risen in Him) and to teach <strong>the</strong>m to<br />

be obedient according to all He (Jesus) has commanded us.<br />

Discipleship as we know and have experienced was focussed on <strong>the</strong> word and what we<br />

ought to do and not do, yet <strong>the</strong> primary focus should be John5 v 19 " ...The Son do<br />

nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Fa<strong>the</strong>r doing, because whatever <strong>the</strong><br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r does <strong>the</strong> Son does also."<br />

Thank you for <strong>the</strong> <strong>50</strong> <strong>days</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>intimacy</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit, learning <strong>the</strong> facts about<br />

him as <strong>the</strong> third person (<strong>of</strong> our Triune God) and ever present one in our daily lives.<br />

This did my universe good, just learning to trust Him more, worshipping in His presence<br />

and enjoying fellowship <strong>with</strong> him.<br />

I encourage you to indulge in His presence, submitting yourself to His guidance and<br />

leading. Life will never be <strong>the</strong> same.<br />
