In Forgotten God, Francis Chan speaks about the Holy Spirit (ie. “Forgotten God”) and what role He plays in our lives. The Holy Spirit, as promised by Jesus, came at the time of His leaving this world to work from “within” in assisting us to continue in our walk as His disciple. This, however, does not mean that we can rely completely on the Holy Spirit. We also have our own work to do but the Holy Spirit is there to assist and encourage. The Holy Spirit is not a subject often entered into in sermons / conversations however it is He who helps us to pray, to obey to God’s will, etc. So, whilst He appears to be mostly forgotten, He is working very hard “behind the scene.” Chan encourages us to seek God to work fully in our lives which we may experience when we open ourselves to the work of the Spirit.
