The Promise of the Spirit

Galatians 3
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive */the promise of the Spirit./*

Introduction:
-On the inside of me, I sense God is saying, will you receive my promise?
Will you receive my gift?
-God worked in history and is working in history for a purpose.
He arranged things and Jesus took our sins so that the plan of God could be accomplished.
-Part of that plan is for each of us to receive the PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT.
-In our culture we have seen the denominational churches try to follow God with their minds and the backlash of people trying to be so spiritual that they don’t use their mind.
We saw the liberals and the other side the purely emotional wild bunch.
-Before we pick sides, let us consider God’s purpose.
Let’s let God give us the balance.
-We act as if the Holy Spirit is optional equipment like a CD player in a car.
-He isn’t an option, He is the engine!
-My dream isn’t to change people into the type of Christian we want them to be as much as to GET THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THEM WHERE THEY ARE.
-Today the Spirit-Filled part of the world is huge.
It is second only to Roman Catholicism in the world and they are used population figures.
-You aren’t in the back of the bus.
But some have still never got on the bus.
Acts 2
38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
-You and your children and your grandchildren are given the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Why would you reject what God labored to get to you?

1.
THE PROMISE
-The Old Testament symbolism is Noah in the ark.
(Genesis 8)
-After the flood, Noah sent out a dove and it had place to abide.
There was no place to remain.
The Holy Spirit as a prophet, priest or king could use OLD TESTAMENT-men but He didn’t abide.
-Then Noah sent out the dove and He returned with an olive branch in his mouth.
This is PEACE~/judgments is over.
This is Jesus coming in the gospels.
Genesis 49
10 "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him [shall be] the obedience of the peoples.
(NASB) (Shiloh means peace-bringer)
-Then finally Noah sent out the dove and he remained on the earth.
He came to abide.
This is the New Testament.
The Holy Spirit stayed.
-That is the picture.
God made the sequence happen so He could send the Holy Spirit to abide on and in us.
-The Bible records many promises but the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is called the PROMISE OF THE FATHER.
Luke 24
49 "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
(NASB)
Joel 2
28 ¶ "And afterwards, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
Acts 1
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
5 For John baptised with water, but in a few days you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit."
Acts 2
1 ¶ When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5 ¶ Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?
9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome
11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs-- we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!"
12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."
14 ¶ Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.
15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose.
It's only nine in the morning!
16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 "`In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
-The Holy Spirit has been given so that all men and women can receive Him.
-This may be the key to raising children who love God.
-Notice that the Holy Spirit is a promise.
-Jesus had to be glorified, die and raise from the dead before He could be poured out.
-This was a condition of the Holy Spirit being poured out on all flesh.
John 7
37 ¶ On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."
39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.
Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
-Notice that man wasn’t prepared to receive the Holy Spirit until Jesus ascended to heaven as our advocate.
2.
THE FULFILLMENT
-The Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost and He hasn’t left since.
-He is here to be received.
-The promise is fulfilled and is available to all who ask.
