Telos: The Holy Spirit is the promise for Greater Works by the Church.
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in the realm of the Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy.
The World needs to be taught to receive Jesus, but the Church needs to learn how to receive the Holy Spirit. -Kenneth Hagin
The Church needs an oil change.
Being filled, and filled again is the only way to keep out of your natural mind. Smith Wigglesworth
You can know a lot, but the moment your’e filled, the Holy Spirit makes it a reality in us.
Your celebration is a demonstration of your expectation.
Information
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
Inspiration
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
The Holy Spirit will take what is Mine, and show it, transmit it, and communicate it to you.
1. He possesses the attributes of mind (Rom. 8:27), will (I Cor. 12:11), and feeling (Eph. 4:30).

Revelation
The believer doesn’t just have better information, but is able to demonstrate the Works of Christ.
and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Application
Indwelling
When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
Filling of the Spirit
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,
by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
And you are witnesses of these things.
“Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;
for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
