What is undoubtable is the fact that the Holy Spirit did move in conviction of sin and conversion to the Saviour. Let us ask, seek and knock on Heaven's door for the Holy Spirit to come again in our hearts and homes, churches and communities. "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25).
