Muita gente me pergunta como o Espírito Santo age nos nossos dias. A resposta, ainda que simples, é verdadeira. Não precisamos esperar uma revelação nova que desça do céu para nos explicar a atuação do Espírito de Deus. Podemos, e devemos, olhar para Jesus.
Conta-se que alguns missionários que se tornaram prisioneiros na China há muitos anos passaram pela seguinte situação:
Os chineses queriam fazer uma lavagem cerebral logo no início do regime do presidente Mao. Chamou-se essa lavagem de “Revolução Cultural”. Os professores foram arrancados de suas salas e levados para o campo, enquanto os campesinos foram trazidos para ensinar.
Os missionários, por sua vez, passaram por tortura pesada, pois, segundo os agressores, a única maneira de se erradicar os pensamentos dos imperialistas seria a tortura.
Uma das torturas, frequentemente, utilizada fazia que os prisioneiros ficassem em pé, com as mãos amarradas às costas e as pernas acorrentadas, sem dormir durante dias, ou até mesmo semanas inteiras. No final, todos acabavam confessando até o que não faziam.
É impressionante como a força bruta é capaz de fazer quase tudo. Mas há uma força maior do que a força da coerção: a força do amor. Jesus nunca coagiu ninguém. Ele poderia usar da sua sabedoria para convencer as pessoas da sua divindade. Poderia usar do seu poder para mudar a vontade das pessoas. Ele não faz nada disso, muito pelo contrário: nos amou, se entregou por nós e, quando subiu, nos enviou o Espírito Santo.
O Espírito Santo trabalha no interior da pessoa, mostrando a verdade e dando oportunidade para o arrependimento. A Bíblia o chama de Consolador, de Espírito da Verdade, de Conselheiro, de Ajudador.
Na verdade, o Espírito Santo está todo o tempo ao nosso lado, esperando por um convite, uma brecha, uma oportunidade para entrar e habitar em nós, o que se dá quando aceitamos a Jesus como nosso Senhor e Salvador. Precisamos vê-lo como o nosso melhor amigo, nosso confidente, quem nos fortalece nos momentos de fraqueza, quem intercede por nós com gemidos inexprimíveis…
Larry Crabb diz que muitos cristãos pensam que o evangelho se resume a fazer o que é certo ou corrigir o que está errado. O Espírito Santo faz muito mais do que isso, nos convence dos erros, nos dá poder para acertar, conhece as nossas fraquezas e nos ensina como sermos mais semelhantes a Jesus.
