One of the most important promises that has been emphasized in this series is that the Holy Spirit would be for us, what Jesus was for those early disciples who traveled with Him when He walked here on planet earth. 

For those early disciples, Jesus wasn’t a once a year, once a month, or even a once a week event or encounter. Jesus was the One they traveled with in their everyday lives. He loved them, He taught them, He was the Word of God to them, and the One who demonstrated God’s majestic sovereignty over all things in heaven and on earth. 

There was a freedom to the way Jesus lived His life here on earth that drew His disciples closer to Him and impacted their lives tremendously. 

Through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we also do well to make it a part of our everyday lives, our regular routine, to spend time with Jesus—in His presence and in His Word. The invitation to all, no matter where we may be at in our journey, is a simple yet powerfully life-changing one — “Come and see.” 

Just one step in the direction that leads back to God is a “come and see” moment that has the potential to lead us into a more free and spiritually healthy place. We all need practical solutions for the challenges we face in our everyday lives. And finding those practical solutions we need for our everyday lives becomes that much more easier when we are in a spiritual healthy place.   

Does the Holy Spirit still invite us to come and see? Take a listen and out!

So far in our series, we’ve learned that with the Holy Spirit comes the enduement of power for life and service. Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as the PROMISE of the Father. In fact, after His resurrection Jesus told His disciples to wait in the city of Jerusalem for this PROMISE of the Father (Acts 1:4). 

For Jesus’ followers the Holy Spirit meant the Kingdom of heaven was at hand. Jesus described the Holy Spirit’s abiding presence in our lives as One who would lead us into all truth, teach us and remind us about everything Jesus said. His presence in our lives would mean peace of mind and heart, a gift from heaven the world cannot give. Jesus also spoke of a baptism in the Holy Spirit that would overflow into the lives of others, like springs of living water overflowing from the heart. 

The possibilities are endless when you think about this wonderful truth — that the Holy Spirit is meant to be for us what Jesus was to His disciples who traveled with Him when He walked on planet earth.

What’s so exciting about where we are at in our series, is that just when you think you’re starting to get a handle on WHO the Holy Spirit is suppose to be in our lives, there’s still so much more!!

What else did Jesus PROMISE His disciples concerning the HOLY SPIRIT, in this 6th installment of our series? Take a listen and find out!

When Jesus began His public ministry here on earth, not only did He perform many miracles but He also taught His followers much about the Kingdom of God. In fact, He shared with them things they needed to be aware of, signs in the heavens and on earth concerning His coming Kingdom.

The problem is that without the Holy Spirit they would miss it. Without the Holy Spirit, it would be that much harder to discern the signs of the times they were living in, and even more importantly, the signs Jesus taught His disciples to look for and promised would happen concerning His coming Kingdom. 

Without the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ disciples would increasingly become a people who were growing more unaware, ignorant and forgetful of the things He taught them; unable to discern spiritual shifts or events manifesting themselves concerning the future; or signs pointing to His second coming, His coming Kingdom, and to where history is ultimately headed! 

In our current series, we’re going to learn the Holy Spirit is the One whom Jesus promised would be for us, what He was for those early disciples who traveled with Him when He walked here on planet earth. The Holy Spirit is the One who brings the Word of God to light and makes us aware of things to come. He is the One who reveals the truth about God and provides the wisdom we need for the decisions we need to make in our every day lives.

The problem is that without the Holy Spirit they would miss these signs of His coming Kingdom. Without the Holy Spirit, they would become a people who were unaware, uninformed, ignorant and forgetful of the things Jesus taught them; of spiritual things; things concerning the future; things concerning His second coming, His coming Kingdom, and of where history is ultimately headed. 

When we are unaware of things to come, of things that are at the foot of our lives, the old saying becomes true, “If it were a rattle snake, it would have bit me.”

What is behind the door of POSSIBILITIES when we say, “YES” to God?

In our NEW SERIES, we are learning that new life means new decisions, which means being BRAVE! 

For the disciples who believed Jesus was dead, their new life meant living in fear, in hiding and behind locked doors. Real life change would not necessarily happen through rumors that Jesus was alive, but by truly hearing, believing and embracing this Good News as TRUTH in their everyday lives!

The fact that Jesus was alive would totally redefine their perception of reality. It would mean a whole new life, new decisions, and new possibilities. From this day forward, new life would mean learning how to say, “YES” to God, “YES” to this new life, “YES” to new possibilities, which would also mean being BRAVE!
