The Doctrine of The Holy Spirit (Acts 1.4-8, Luke 24.46-49)
The Holy Spirit. Perhaps one of the most divisive doctrines in the Church. Ironically, however, He was given by God to unite the Church in the Spirit and Truth of Christ.
Is the Holy Spirit the cause of people flopping in the pews, barking like dogs? Or perhaps He is... well, not; as in, not with us any more? Or, is He still alive, but powerless to overcome our sin and lawlessness?
One thing is for certain, what we believe, determines our behavior and our lives. That could explain some things, huh?
O for the presence of the Holy Spirit to clothe the Church in power here in our community! ...to reveal our sin, point us to Jesus, and bring about the holiness that is rooted in genuine love for Christ. Revive us, oh Lord, with Your presence among us.
Stay the course, dear family of faith. Be not discouraged, He is at work! If He is to visit us with revival again, before the return of Christ, it will most certainly be through those who kept the faith, who, by grace, continued tilling the soil, planting the seeds, watering the ground, making faithful preparations.
Wait eagerly, serve faithfully, and pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit as the Day draws near.
Today's passage:
4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” -Acts 1.4-8, Luke 24.46-49 (esv)
