THIS WEEK

Did you know that Jesus himself needed the Holy Spirit to do what he did?? scripture teaches us that Jesus was both fully man and fully God The man part of Jesus, needed the Holy Spirit in the same way that you and I need the Holy Spirit, to be empowered for his ministry Jesus needed the Holy Spirit!

​The New King James Version Chapter 316 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

It was after this moment that the ministry of Jesus really began. no believer should ever think that they don't have a need for the Power of God in their lives, it is absolutely necessary for us just as it was for Jesus. I don't believe there is a anyone here who doesn't want to be used by God to help other people know the truth. There are just people who don't believe that they can!

We see in this scripture that Jesus did all of these things after Holy Spirit came upon him, just as we will do all these things Jesus spoke about once we receive the Holy Spirit!

So now I want to look at according to scripture how we know that we have the Gift of the Holy Spirit. That this is truly more then just words but Power in our lives
