"he will be a very important person for the Lord" or "God will consider him to be very important"

This can be stated in active form. AT: "the Holy Spirit will empower him" or "the Holy Spirit will guide him" Make sure it does not sound similar to what an evil spirit might do to a person. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
