基督徒曾经把圣灵（Holy Spirit）称为“Holy Ghost”。我们放弃了Ghost这个词，可能因为鬼是可怕的，而圣灵可以是我们最好的朋友和持续的伙伴，但也许撇弃“鬼”这个词会让我们失去一些灵里面生命的奥秘。

有一个在我们意外的神秘的灵性世界，超出了我们眼睛看到的，以及耳朵听到的。但是，当我们把自己的生命交托给基督，并在圣灵中被更新的生命充满时，我们就能与那个世界相通。

圣经解释说，属世的人不能理解属灵的事，因为它们是属灵的事物。当我们只追求物质的祝福时，我们就错过了最大的祝福。当我们只关注我们周围的世界时，我们就错过了一个近在咫尺、真实存在的属灵现实——在灵里的生命。

来探索这个由神在圣经中启示并显明的神秘现实吧！来见见神的灵。神的灵是有位格的存在，祂想与你建立个人关系。神的灵要充满你，赋予你力量，教导你，启发你，带领你，与你一起叹息，透过你祷告，藉着你歌唱。

圣灵为你预备了奇妙的恩赐，还有你周围人所渴想的美德的果子。

Christians used to refer to the Holy Spirit as the Holy Ghost. We probably dropped that term because ghosts are scary, while the Holy Spirit can be our best friend and continuous companion. But maybe we lost some of the mystery of life in the Spirit when we left the word "ghost" behind.

There is a mysterious spiritual world out there beyond what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears. But we can connect with that world when we surrender our life to Christ and are filled with new life in the Holy Spirit.

The Bible explains that the natural person cannot understand the things of the Spirit because they are spiritually discerned. When we seek only material blessings, we miss the greatest blessing of all. When we look only at the world around us, we miss a spiritual reality that is close, real, and available—Life in the Spirit.

Come and explore this mysterious reality made concrete by God's revelation in the Bible. Come and meet the person of the Spirit of God. The Spirit is a person, and he wants a personal relationship with you. The Spirit of God wants to fill you, empower you, teach you, enlighten you, lead you, groan with you, pray through you, and even sing through you.

The Holy Spirit has marvelous gifts for you and tasty fruit that people around you will crave.
