Everyone is familiar with what feeling conviction is like.
Speaking in a spiritual sense, that first conviction we are met
with is by the Holy Spirit before we were born again. Jesus said
when He would go to heaven, He would send Him [the Holy Spirit]
into the world to convict the world of sin. Since then he goes
individually to each person one on one whom He convicts
personally of sin to save them, and give them eternal life. He
does so in order for them to acknowledge their sin nature, and
sins committed, and confess them to Jesus Christ. That conviction
is the first act of the Holy Spirit in each life He engages. The
same conviction goes on throughout the entire life of each child
of God.  


That conviction is always met with His comfort after the
acknowledgment of their acts of sin are confessed. So He first
comes to convict of sin, then afterwards enters in as "The
Comforter." As time progresses, as they are growing up in the
Lord, that conviction becomes the power of their faith. It makes
them spiritually strong, resolute and steadfast. 


There is also something more than being convicted of sin. It
makes their prayers firm because they have deep conviction of the
truths they have stood on in every trial. It makes the love they
have for others more valiant. Because in their times of
disasters, losses and wars, they stood upon the truths of the
word by personal conviction of belief. So now they do all things
by firm, experiential conviction in love, prayer and obedience.
 Every part of the Christian's life in thought, motive,
action, words and deeds are all deeply rooted in
conviction. 


When that conviction first came to that person who first believed
and received Jesus Christ, it is that same conviction that will
keep and carry them until the end of their lives. What a
beautiful thing conviction is!  


Can anyone say anything negative that comes from the Holy Spirit?
If the beautiful, beloved Holy Spirit convicts us, it is done in
the most pristine, holy, purest love and comfort to restore. Any
other kind of so-called conviction that bows a person down and
strips him or her of dignity and freedom is not from Him, but the
enemy.  Begin to see that His first conviction in you both
protects you and keeps you pure and holy. Afterwards it will make
you full of courage, brave, strong and resolute like a great
captain. Then at the end of your life, you will have beautiful,
joyful firm conviction of seeing Him face to face in heaven land.
 


"You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it.
You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You
cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching
is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If
Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow
from us." ~Charles Spurgeon
