And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:3
Why does Jesus not mention the Holy Spirit in this prayer? Because to have eternal life, to be able to enter heaven, you need to know the Father and the Son; but to bring heaven and enjoy the powers of the age to come here on earth, you need to know the Holy Spirit.
You have revelation on the Father and the Son because they chased you, but you get revelation from the Holy Spirit because you chase Him. Do you want salvation? Look for Jesus. Do you want to save others? Seek after the Holy Spirit
A believer can be saved, just by hearing the gospel of salvation and believing in Jesus as the only mediator between the Father and men, even if he has never heard about the Holy Spirit. He is basically dedicated to glorifying Jesus (see John 16:4), and testifying to you that you are a beloved child of the Father (see Romans 8:16).
There comes a time when He begins to reveal Himself to your life so that you learn to collaborate with Him so that others can know Jesus and the Father.
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Acts 19:1-2
These believers were baptized in the revelation and movement carried by John the Baptist, which consisted solely of a gospel of repentance and salvation to enter heaven. In fact, although John was the greatest prophet that existed until the manifestation of Jesus (see Matthew 11:11), he never performed any miracles.
These disciples had the entrance to heaven, but they lived on earth without power, because they ignored the Holy Spirit and His “things” (See 1Corinthians 2:14)
They had not been baptized in the movement of the Lord Jesus, Who brought the movement of Glory that includes everything: The gospel that enters you into heaven, plus the gospel that brings heaven to you. He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire. (See Matthew 3:11).
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts 19:3-6
The Holy Spirit will work in the area that He is allowed to work. If you don’t have Him quenched, but you have Him grieved, you will have many gifts, but you will live bitter, resentful, immature, offended by anything, and depressed. If you do not have Him grieved, but you have Him quenched you will live a very holy life, but without supernatural impact in terms of the power to liberate those oppressed by the devil, heal the sick and work miracles and wonders.
There are believers who do not dare to pray for the sick because they are waiting for “the movement, voice or indication of the Spirit” for fear of grieving him; But the truth is, if you don’t jump in faith and take risks now, you’re not making Him grieved, you’re quenching Him.
There are individuals who love the movement of the supernatural, but criticize the revelation that preceded its manifestation. No one can set in motion what has not been revealed to him.
