In today’s message Bro. Leo continues our study, of the presence of God, by looking at the gift of God’s Holy Spirit to each one of us who is saved and how His Holy Spirit affects our life in Christ.  All men thirst for a relationship with Jesus (salvation) knowingly or not.  All saved men thirst for a deeper relationship with Jesus (life in Christ).  This thirst or desire can only be fulfilled by God, we cannot quench this thirst through worldly possessions of any kind.  The deeper our relationship with Jesus becomes the more blessings God will give us in this life as well as the more rewards He will give us in Heaven.
