Sermon Tone Analysis

Introduction to the Teaching

Most people know why God exist, millions know why Jesus came and his coming is celebrated as He should be.

Yet, the question swirls around the purpose of the Holy Spirit, and as we answered the "who" of the Holy Spirit, one must answer the why did the Holy Spirit come.

Truth be told, the reason people give for the presence of the Holy Spirit creates confusion to where people cannot receive his ministry.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit allows believers to walk in kingdom authority gained through repentance, faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ.

If you don't know why he came, you will not walk in the newness of life given by the regenerative presence of the Spirit.

Knowing why Jesus died releases salvation, but the Holy Spirit keeps believers in salvation.

One cannot assume through tradition thinking and practice the only way people know the Holy Spirit is present is by praise and responses to emotional moments.

He did not come to make you emotional in service, but he came to edify you for service.

He did not come to make you great, he came so that greater can be done through you.

He did not come to make you praise, but he does provide reasons to praise.

He did not come to condemn the world, but he did come to convict you for condemning the world.

Why did He come?

Receiving the answer to this unlocks great mysteries and truths that free the believer from living the "church" life and walking in the "believer's lane of anointing, assignment and authority."

Conviction

, 38-You will never receive Christ unless you're convicted as a sinner and convinced that you need Christ

Conversion

-You cannot change yourself or others, only God can change you.

Connection

-"Who leads you determines who you're connected to"

Confirmation

-Confirmation never comes vertically, confirmation come horizontally

Consecration

-Your body was built for God to dwell, Jesus to save and the Holy Ghost to clean up.

Cleaning up your own self same body suggest that you do not need the cleansing agent of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit does the cleansing internally so that externally one can be a representative of the kingdom of God.

Consecration is more than a forty day fast, it is a perpetual offering of oneself on the altar of sacrifice, realizing that the Holy Spirit dwells “in” you.

in (en)—a position defined as being within certain limits—”inside, within, in.”

Communication

; -Communication is not a one way street, its a two way journey where both must listen to one another.

The Holy Spirit is not in you to listen to you talk all the time, but the Holy Spirit is in you for you to listen to Him.

When you communicate with God, you must be quiet to hear what the Spirit would say unto you.

Consultation

; -People have their on consulting firm when it comes to the will of God, but you have to consult the owner.

Often times, we consult people that for that which only God can help.

People are helpful, but if their advice is not coming from a godly source, then their advice leads toward destruction.

Why do believes take advice from people who are adverse to us.

Quit listening to quitters when you are trying to win in life.

What you need to know, God will teach you by his anointing and will guide you those who can instruct you in the way of the Spirit.

Many people turn away from the real people God places in your life to guide you through dangers seen and unseen dangers.

The Spirit will not guide you to people who will feed your “ego,” but he will lead you to people that will “feed” you the truth from a place of love.

Some people keep only those that will be on their “team” but those maybe the very people causing you to lose what you value and hold dear.

Just because people say that’s what I would do, doesn’t mean that you need to do it.

You will “cut” people who were meant to carry you....dump those God destined for you....eliminate those who edify you…gut those who give you life…alienate the vessel from where you anointing flows…victimize the vessel that God designed to bring you victory

Conforming us in the image of the Son

; -We are created to be functional reflections of God here in the earth.

When God created man from the silicon particles, their was a joint decision to create man like himself.

We are created to be reflections here, doing what God did and that is speak and create with the Word of God.

The Spirit of God does not “box” in believers, but conforms the to the image of the Son, who became a suffering servant…We have to look more like our original image instead of trying to be copies of what God did not design you to be.

The image of his Son is one of overcoming and victory…authority and power...

Confirming our position in Christ

; ; -Seeking position here does not secure your seat in the kingdom.

The Holy Spirit was given by God to believers as assurance that better is coming and there is a heaven.

Your position is “saved” and sealed until the day of the Lord’s redemption and return to gather his children home.

No man can create your position and no man can take your position.

God graciously assures believers in Christ that we are safe in his care.

He seals our union with Christ by giving us the Spirit, who guarantees our ultimate salvation.

Surely we should be more thankful, holy, and loving in light of such amazing grace.

Where you are in Christ supersedes where people place you…people place you where you can get “knocked” off, but God place you where you can be “lifted” up…Your position is safe in the Holy Spirit...
