God's Secret Agent

God's Secret Agent
This is how I perceive the Holy Spirit, the third person of our triune God.
I came to feel that way when the Holy Spirit talked to me in 1970, after I started to addressing and worshipping Him. It was a rebuke, telling me not to continue to do that.
God was displeased with it, although my motivation and heart was Godly.
When researching the subject, I found that not a single person in the New Testament ever directed himself to the Holy Spirit. Neither in worship or prayer.
Studying the Lords introduction of the Holy Spirit , recorded in John 16:7 till 16, I concluded the Holy Spirit is the Lord's working agent in the entire world and that He wanted to stay in the background Himself. Only revealing all things about Jesus, who had been given all authority by His Father. Jesus called Him the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter and Counselor.
Now every time when I hear my fellow Christians addressing and inviting the Holy Spirit to come, it is as if I hear Him shouting " Do not you know that I am with you or in you all the time and that I am permeating the whole earth ? In the unbelieving world , I am convicting of sin and revealing righteousness and judgement to others "
God is very displeased with this apparently unawareness of His omni presence.by His children. The Holy Spirit as a part of God and sovereign, being everywhere. It does not behoove us to invite Him or tell Him that He is welcome. He even goes to places where He is not welcome. !
Jesus declared that specially in believers He is present all the time either with them or inside of them. [John 14:17] There are several scriptures telling us of His presence . Saying that He never leaves us or forsakes us and that He wants us to have communion with him all the time, 24 hours a day. [ 1 Thes. 5:17 ] .The bodies do His followers are His temple [1 Cor.6:19 ]
If you are one of the many Christians who are worshiping and inviting the Holy Spirit, Please consider this writing as a message from the Lord and cease addressing the Holy Spirit.
His and your servant , Johannes Weiss
