The Holy Spirit in the Life of Catholics - Jeff Cavins

- Though raised Catholic, Jeff Cavins didn't really "get" the idea of the Holy Spirit until an experience at a Catholic Charismatic conference when he was 18. In his youthful zeal, he decided that the Church he'd grown up in was stifling the Holy Spirit, so he started going to the Assemblies of God, and eventually became a nondenominational pastor. Along the way, his understanding of the Holy Spirit matured, and he eventually came to appreciate the Holy Spirit as not just someone who empowered him personally, but who was perpetually at work in Scripture, tradition, the magisterium and the lives of the saints.
So amazing witness, thank you for telling how the Holy Spirit working in our life. Well come home our brother in Christ.

Amen!
Thanks and all glory be to the ALMIGHTY GOD for Jeff who has such an awaken sprit to bring those who are lost, back to the Holy Catholic and True church . May God bless you abundantly.
I will admit that I have always been nervous speaking to the Holy Spirit, mainly for fear of the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against Him. Also, I always go through Christ as we are told to, since the Spirit is also God, I figured that He works through His own ways and being that He is God, He knows best for me or anyone and anything else.
Thanks Jeff. You’re amazing
Amazing....👍👍
I got baptised in the Holy Spirit and began to speak in an unknown language.
When I came back to the Catholic church, exorsists said, "If you haven't learnt a language, it's of Satan.
That tongues are what the apostles were given, and the Holy Spirit guided them in their speech.
I am confused. I don't speak in tongues anymore and haven't in a long time.
I don't want to be disobedient to God by offending the Holy Spirit. I don't know if the language I was praying in is from God or the devil. Can you help,
I did have oppressive spirits. I was delivered from it, but I still can speak in an unknown language ,I choose not to for fear of sinning against God. He has been so good to me.
Pray in that language at home!! Is is EXACTLY as described in Acts 2.
It is for your edification! 🙏🏼📿
Your comment made me sorrowful. It is truly a gift from God, receiving your prayer language. “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself” (1 Corinthians 14:4) Also, read Luke 11:9-13. Lord bless and keep you.
the prescence of god is in the catholic mass in the liturgy and the eucharist
A Jewish convert to Catholicism had a vision of Our Lady. He asked Her who the Holy Spirit was. Lifting her gaze to Heaven in adoration, She said:
“He is HIS gaze”
This would a align with what St Thomas of Aquinas said, that the Holy Spirt was “The look of love between the Father and the Son”.
We receive the Holy Spirit when we hear and believe the true Gospel, Ephesian 1:13,1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9.
douglas graham what does “believe” mean to you? Demons “believe in the Holy Spirit”.
Very true 🙏
Veni Creator Spiritus
I would check the people putting ads on this. Because when I opened up the video, it was a very anti-Catholic Ad proposing the great apostasy Theory.

Who is the Holy Spirit? But the first big question is WHO IS INSIDE JESUS ? Well, we are absolutely sure that THE FATHER IS INSIDE JESUS AND LEADS HIM VERY TIGHTLY when speaking and acting :
(1)
"Truly, truly I say to you, THE SON IS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING of himself,45 but ONLY WHAT HE SEES THE FATHER DOING; for whatever things that One does, THESE THINGS ALSO THE SON DOES LIKEWISE.
(2)
"When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will find out that I am he,
and OF MYSELF I DO NOTHING, but rather EXACTLY AS THE FATHER HAS TAUGHT ME, THOSE THINGS I SPEAK. 29And the one who sent me IS CONTINUALLY WITH ME. HE HAS NOT LEFT ME ALONE, because I always do the things pleasing to him."
(3)
"49 FOR I FROM MYSELF HAVE NOT SPOKEN; rather, the Father who sent me, he has given me COMMANDMENT, WHAT I SHOULD SAY, and HOW I SHOULD SPEAK. 50And I know, that his commandment means eternal life. Therefore, WHAT THINGS I SPEAK, JUST AS THE FATHER HAS SAID THEM TO ME, I SPEAK THEM JUST SO."
(4)
"The statements which I say to you I do NOT SPEAK FROM MYSELF, BUT THE FATHER ABIDING IN ME IS DOING HIS WORKS."
..........
Could Jesus further have a SECOND LEADER, "the Lord giver of life" - to lead Him - even if only a few times? Of course THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT FOR THAT: from the above verses we see that Jesus IS LED VERY CLOSELY ("exactly") by the Father, who is "continually" "abiding" in Him. That no one else is there is also implicitly stated : "...He has not left me ALONE..." i.e. you just have the Father with the Son, period.
But how can one explain the next verse, Jesus being filled and led by the Holy Spirit?
(5) "FILLED with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from Jordan and was LED BY THE SPIRIT into the wilderness.".....
Well, with the verses (1)-(4) Jesus reveals that the HOLY SPIRIT inside Him IS THE FATHER. This directly implies that the Father must be a spirit. Yes, you can find confirmation that the Father is a spirit: "God is a spirit". Not only in Jesus, exactly the same kind of relief - by the Father - when speaking - also occurs inside the apostles: "because it is not ye that will speak, but the SPIRIT OF YOUR FATHER...". However, you can notice there that the term "SPIRIT" is used instead.
Well, confusion arises because Jesus has the "Father who is a spirit" and calls Him sometimes "FATHER" (Holy) (generally when Himself is concerned), sometimes "SPIRIT" (Holy, of God, of the Father...) when other people are concerned (see the apostles above). But they are just TWO NAMES for the SAME ONE SPIRIT: THE FATHER. No further "omnipotent spirit Lord giver of life" exists: it's just an invention. The Holy Spirit is thus the almighty God: for example the Devil could be INSIDE you, trying - UNNOTICED as much as possible - to steer your mind and to convince you do something. Well, God is no less, He is able to perform that action too! "The HOLY SPIRIT dwelling in you" simply means that God is inside you, trying to lead you.
Thus, "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" is SYNONYM of "blasphemy against the Father". No one has been FORGOTTEN there: just TWO blasphemies are possible, one against the Father and one against the Son! This also means that when Jesus was baptized, simply the Holy Spirit - i.e. the Father who is a spirit - SAID "...you are my beloved Son...". Just the Father and the Son were there, TWO ! No one else exists, this is stated by Jesus: "I am not ALONE because the Father is with me".
The Father is now ONLY ACTIVE in His "Spirit form" (see for example the Holy Spirit and Mary's pregnancy), but He also existed in His "normal form" (see "the Father" in the baptismal formula). God existed in that "normal form" ONLY "...before the existence of the world" (Jn. 17:5,24). Therefore "Righteous Father, the world HAS NOT KNOWN you..."; this is also why "No one has ever seen God..." and why Jesus inherited the kingdom of God "The Father loves the Son and has given him all things into his hand." . Only God who dwells in that remote past makes God's decisions, He is the SOURCE of the "Spirit of God". The Spirit of God proceeds from the Father dwelling in that past and acts here. But He is just a God's ATTRIBUTE, not someone else. God is thus only made by the Father and the Son.
@po18guy
No JW. JESUS IS ONLY WITH THE FATHER. I.e. no trinity exists. For ex. " Yet, I am not ALONE because the Father is with me." I.e. just Father and Son.
Jesus Said..in Matthew 5 6 7.. "Obey My Sayings and Seek Me and My Righteousness..I will Give you Everything You Need..and Deliver You from evil.". To me Jesus is the Holy Spirit. I have been listening to Jesus and talking to Him all my life..since I was six years old. I Seek Him For His Help EveryDay. It is too bad the Catholics didn't teach you Jesus Gospel. I tried praying to Mary once..Jesus reprimanded me. And Jesus wants me to listen to Him..not pastors in Any church. I seem to have a very different relationship with Jesus from other people..because people get angry with me..when I explain. Someone suggested I was a Jew..but I do not know. I just Listen and Obey and when I don't..I suffer.
You amaze me. Jesus does not say not to ask Mary for intercession. You may ask where does he ask to pray to her?well.. I can tell you but it might seem like im imposing catholic faith in you. But im not intrested. All I wanna say is.. If you heard Jesus saying something like that then you have to seriously discern from whom did you hear..
Even if you can tick off mary.. But not the EUCHARIST which Jesus Himself said to receive. Hope you understand.
@@joseoliveamirtham9147
Thank You..but Jesus Said..”Let no man be called rabbi.” Jesus is my Teacher and I will not Forsake Him.
@@kathleenwharton2139 I'm definitely not asking you to do something like that. Why would I ask you not yo listen to Jesus?? Who am I!!
But has not Jesus said...
That you have to test every spirit?. ...
I send disciples to teach?
Work is more.. Workers are less? (this is for missionary workers/preachers of gospel)
Jesus said... Truly truly.. I say to you.. Unless you receive my body and blood.. There is no life in you.. I will not RAISE you in the last day. ( Do you receive the Eucharist?????)
When you said that Jesus asked you not to ask for Mary's intercession I guessed the spirit in you is not right... (I'm sorry) or you might be bluffing(idk) ... Why would Jesus himself violate the 4 th commandment??????....
If you have read the bible you might know the ISRAEL people had the mother of the KING as the Queen. And the request by a Queen is always taken into consideration. That is what Jesus did at canan too... Jesus being born in full tradition from both David(St. Joseph) and Aaron (Mother Mary) line..would be ignorant of this???
You are ridiculing bible here... I'm sorry to say this but please ask for true discernment!!
@@joseoliveamirtham9147
Jesus Words are in the Bible. “If you Love Me..Keep my commandments.” I Do. It is not that hard to know what He would like me to Do.
@@kathleenwharton2139 Well ok then... You just dint answer my questions. Be at peace. Tc.
So I met a protestant last week and we talked a little the subject came around to charity and I explained I have a direct debit set up for charity reasons and asked did he do the same or how did it work for him?
He informed me that if the Holy Spirit desires him to give to charity he would tell him or prompt him in some way. of course I asked has he ever read the bible?
It is not about the bible, you have to listen carefully what he says. He said it well in amazing way
@@sabaghebreghzabhier3382 I think you misunderstood, , he already got the word it is every thing Jesus said in the bible. He does not have to wait for a word, it was already spoken. Hope that clarifies things.
Not all charities are made equal and not all times call us to this or that form of charity. Giving someone money they will then go spend on an abortion is quite obviously not charitable. However, you can not know their thoughts unless they tell you them. The Lord has no such restrictions and thus we ought to listen. Likewise, I personally have given to the point where I then needed aid and becane a burden to others. Prudence and temperance are likewise required and for the soul that has not developed them sufficiently, awaiting the calling of the Holy Spirit is perhaps the first step in prudence and likewise humility. We are also called to listen for His call, so that is what I do especially in this rapidly changing and at times shockingly disordered world.
@@LostArchivist My Friend, we are all called to charity, and the world has many, I give to the poorest and if you need a word well the best place to hear that is in the Catholic church as Jesus told us the Holy Spirit will deposit all truth there. So No excuse really.
Go ahead and prove it wrong now.
2 tiles of blasphemy in the Roman papacy'. Holy Father & pontifex maximus. These are replacing bith the Father and son that is the spirit of anti Christ. The true Rock of the church.
I’ve never met a Catholic filled with the holy spirit. All of them(90%, the other percent I’ve never met, but Im giving them the benefit of the doubt) live their lives as wordly people, just evidence that the Catholic church is not the original church of Jesus.
You have no clue what you are talking about, judging all Catholics by the few that you have met.
Gueguense I agree with you There is no conviction where there is no conviction there is no Holy Spirit
John Mizak The few? No my friend, they are all around me, heck I come from a predominantly Catholic family not from North America so I know lots of them, they are my friends, family members and co-workers. Then you have the ones I’ve chat with on social media etc....
@@amplecleaner
There are over a billion Catholics in the world and you expect me to take your minimal experiences as a blanket statement about all Catholic's? I guess what I have experienced with Catholic's I know, matters not with you, huh? Only your opinion counts for anything?
John Mizak Ok, so should I go half way around the world looking for the true Catholics? Come on! I’ve met better Christian Baptists and Pentecostals(which are a little crazy for my liking) than Catholics. Dont get me wrong, I’ve met “good Catholics” meaning they go yo church often, know all their catechism to a t, very polite, very generous, but if you say the wrong thing or u “double cross” them, oh boy! You better watch out. I’ve met nicer atheists that have more self control than Catholics.
