Recognizing the Spirit

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Understanding the Trinity

Distinct persons, not manifestations, in perfect unity as one

How is he unique in the Trinity?

Not attention seeking

Always glorifying the Father and Son

Very relational and inner working (our minds and hearts)

That’s why you seem him binding, sealing, reconciling, revealing, convicting, empowering, life-giving

Three Major roles of the Holy Spirit you will recognize:

Salvation

1 Cor 12:1-3

John 3:5-7

Sanctification and Baptism

1 Cor 12:4-7

2 Cor 3:18

Authoring Scripture

2 Peter1:2

How do you see Him working today:

John 16:7-15

Holy Spirit sent for truth and conviction

1 Cor 2:9-16

Spirit reveals the deep things of God to us

Convicting > Revealing > Restoring > Empowering

When you first saw your sin and need for forgiveness - that was the Holy Spirit

When God started to make sense for the first time and you began to understand the truth - that was the Holy Spirit

When you began to experience healing and change in your life - that was the Holy Spirit

When your gifts began to reveal themselves and you started unearthing these talents that are useful to the ministry - that was the Holy Spirit
