Good morning.
We continue our series on the Holy Spirit today!
We began this series talk about the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Life.
Last week we discussed how the Same Spirit in Jesus is the Same Holy Spirit in Us.
Next Sunday Todd will be sharing with you on the Joy of the Holy Spirit.
But today, I want to talk to you about -
Living in the power of the Holy Spirit!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t know about you but this has been one of the hardest parts of the
Christian faith I have had to deal with.
Times of power
Over temptation - over my mind - over sickness - etc.
Other times I don’t even feel the Spirit
No power over temptations - no power in prayer - Why??????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe, you have felt this way as well.
Some days you feel full of the Spirit
Other days not so much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How Do We Live In The Power of the Holy Spirit?
Put Your Sails Up and Be Willing To Burn
The Spirit is described as WIND and FIRE!
The uncontrollable Wind of God
Wrestles chaos and brings new creation
Breathes life into man
Parts the sea to make escape for Israel
Parts Jordan so Israel can enter the promised land.
Story – Sail boat as a kid - Sail down or pointing in the wrong direction - no move - Sail up and pointing to catch the wind - boat takes off.
In the same way the holy Spirit desires to move us in power through the mighty wind of the Holy Spirit.
If we will put our sails up he will carry us!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flame –
Mount Siani – Law given – Mount on Fire – New Law – Written on our hearts
He is the fire that burns away our filth and death and reveals the new creation in us.
He is the light that leads men to Christ
John Wesley -
Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.

The Apostles and the Early Church Lived with their Sails Up
And with their Hair on Fire!
: 1-
Acts 4:13-
Acts 4:18-
Acts 4:23-
Acts 4:31
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How many of you would like to live in that kind of power?
How many of you would like to be swept up by that kind of Life Giving Wind?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five Habits to Catch the Wind of God and Live in the Power of the Spirit.
G - Go and Wait
Acts 1:
Don’t get ahead of God
We need to learn to wait in the presence of God - Wait in prayer
Wait until he fills you with Power.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H- Humble Yourself -
1 Peter 5
We are not the saviors
We are not the super heros
The world does not need us, it needs Jesus.
We are servants - conduits of God’s power - He is the super hero.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O - Obey The Spirit When He Speaks or Guides You.
Acts 13:2-
Saul?
A Murderer of Believers?
Yes, the Church obeyed the Spirit and it led to the vast expansion of the faith.
Some of you really struggle with this.
You hear the Spirit but you are reluctant to obey.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S - Specialize in the Gifts the Spirit gives You.
How does God use you.
Romans 12:
If the Spirit of God is in You, He is also gifting you.
Discover the gift(s) the Spirit works in you and develop it.
February LIFE U will specialize in this discovery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T - Test Everything Against The Word of God.
Acts 17:11
Is this from the Spirit?
Is God really asking me to do this?
Test Everything Against the Word of God.
Just because your favorite preacher, said it does not make it God
Just because you want to does not make it God!
TEST IT!.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you will daily!
Go- Wait
Humble Yourself
Obey the Spirit
Specialize in your gift
Test everything against the Word of God
You will Live with Your Sail Up.
Able to catch the wind of God!
