There are many ways that the Holy Spirit works in the lives of Christians, but they all share one common goal: to make us more like Jesus Christ. He works in believers by renewing our minds to be like the mind of Christ. He does this by convicting us of sin and leading us to repentance.
Through repentance, He wipes out what was dirty in us and allows us to bear good fruit. As we allow Him to continue nourishing that fruit, we grow to resemble Jesus more as Galatians 5:22-23 informs us: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
As we build a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit, He will also pull us away from things we have in our lives that don’t please Him. The point is, when He is at work in your life, it’s evident all around you.
1. The Holy Spirit makes us more like Christ
We already know the goal of the Holy Spirit’s work is to make us more like Jesus, but how does he do this? It’s a process known as sanctification. And no, it’s not as complicated as it appears!
Sanctification is the process of the Holy Spirit stripping away our sinful habits and bringing us into holiness. Think of it like peeling back an onion. There are layers. The Holy Spirit works in us by peeling away our sinful characteristics and replacing them with godly characteristics. His work in us makes us more and more like Jesus.

I have read the passage and I love the explanation of how being closer to God builds strength and wisdom . I would also ask that you pray for me for my finances, peace in my home a vehicle and that position in the healthcare field that I am seeking to gain into my life. Thank you women of God for your prayer and for being obedient.
I did read the words that you were speaking about the spirit of God which were very inspiring.
