458 When the Holy Spirit Works on Man
I
The Holy Spirit’s work
is a form of proactive guidance and positive enlightenment.
It does not allow people to be negative.
It brings them solace, gives them faith and resolve,
and enables them to pursue being made perfect by God.
When the Holy Spirit works, people can enter actively,
they are not passive or forced, but proactive;
they’re glad and willing, happy to submit and humble themselves.
Though pained and weak inside, they have the resolve to cooperate;
they suffer gladly, they can submit,
and they are untainted by human will,
they are untainted by the thinking of man,
and certainly they are untainted by human desires and motivations.
II
When people experience the Holy Spirit’s work,
they are especially holy inside, they are especially holy inside.
Those who are possessed of the Holy Spirit’s work
live out the love for God and the love for their brothers and sisters.
They delight in the things that delight God
and loathe the things that God loathes.
They delight in the things that delight God
and loathe the things that God loathes.
People who are touched by the work of the Holy Spirit
are those who have normal humanity,
constantly pursue the truth and are possessed of humanity.
When the Holy Spirit works within people,
their condition becomes better and better,
and their humanity becomes more and more normal,
and though some of their cooperation may be foolish,
their motivations are right,
their entry is positive,
they do not try to cause disruption
III
The work of the Holy Spirit is normal and practical,
the Holy Spirit works in man
according to the rules of the normal life of man,
and He carries out enlightenment and guidance within people
according to the actual pursuit of normal people.
If, in their lives, people are in a positive state
and have a normal spiritual life,
they are possessed of the Holy Spirit’s work.
When they eat and drink God’s words in such a state,
they have faith;
when they pray, they are inspired;
when faced with something, they are not negative,
they can see lessons God wants them to learn.
They are not negative or weak.
Despite their difficulties, they wish to submit to God’s arrangements.
