ROMANS 8: 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
2 CORINTHIANS 1: 21 It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, 22 and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.
THE HOLY SPIRIT CREATES OUR IDENTITY AND GUARANTEES OUR SUCCESS!
THE SECRETS OF GOD’S KINGDOM ARE NOT ALWAYS OBVIOUS BUT HIDDEN.
MARK 4: 11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secret of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables for everything I say to outsiders, 12 so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled: ‘When they see what I do, they will learn nothing. When they hear what I say, they will not understand. Otherwise, they will turn to me and be forgiven.’”
ARE YOU A SEEKER INTENT ON FINDING THE SECRETS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
WE LIVE IN A VERY ABNORMAL WORLD!
THE TRUTH: DARKNESS IS ALWAYS CHANGING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF NORMAL.
Isaiah 5:20 What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.
THE MORE NORMAL THE DYSFUNCTIONAL WAYS OF THIS WORLD BECOME, THE MORE THE WAYS OF GOD SEEM ABNORMAL.
- A.WE WANT THE REWARD WITHOUT THE PROCESS IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE THE REWARD.
A HOLY SPIRIT PROCESS IS THE SURRENDER OF CONTROL!
- TO EMBRACE THE HOLY SPIRIT PROCESS WE HAVE TO EMBRACE THE UNCOMFORTABLE AS NORMAL, THEN TRUST THE PROCESS!
ROMANS 2: 29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
THE PURPOSE: GALATIANS 5: 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
THE PROCESS: GALATIANS 5: 16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
THE BIGGER THE INFLUENCE, THE GREATER THE DIRECTION!
- WE NEED A BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT!
ACTS 1: 4 Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. 5 John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
ACTS 2: 1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. 6 When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers.
WE CAN GET CAUGHT UP, AND FREAKED OUT BY THE PROCESS, AND MISS THE PURPOSE.
ACTS 2: 14 Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd, “Listen carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake about this. 15 These people are not drunk, as some of you are assuming. Nine o’clock in the morning is much too early for that. 16 No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: 17 ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy.
PRESENTING THE CASE WHY YOU SHOULD BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT!
- IT’S GOD’S WORD.
- THE END PURPOSE IS WORTH THE PROCESS.
- SATAN WANTS TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARK.
