My proof that it was the Holy Spirit who brought me into salvation was because I was sitting in a heavy metal rock band session, offered drugs, and instantly the Lord God touched my heart. It was then only and not before the session. I went in there ready. Who wouldn't want to jam and party.
I did nothing and couldn't think of anything. I turned down the smoking drug and said I'm coming to Jesus tonight. They were so shocked they said we will to. We walked out the door. I felt good. I after said the sinners prayer and so did they. I felt something----a peace and a removal of junk thoughts. As a 3 pack of day cigs. threw away a new pack and never smoked for 45 years now.
We all quit the rock music and later when found a church was bass player of that holy , clean, music. We would have called that music square in our rebel days. Now we loved it.
I hope that by now you see my point----it is all the work of the Holy Spirit. He was with me not in me yet. No matter where I would read the bible it was always saying Holy Spirit or spiritual life.
My passage that really shook my life was in Rom.8:6 to be carnal minded is death and to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
2Cor. 3:6 shows us only the Spirit of God gives life but the letter of the word only kills. That is why we have to learn principles of life in the word. We have to get faith in our hearts to confess and claim God's promises---over 7,500 of them. 2Pet. 1:4 they are given to us to claim by faith. If we are not receiving them we know that the Spirit is not working in us.
