Holy Spirit (2)

Holy Spirit

Wow! What an amazing weekend!

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE WEEKEND

LISTEN CARFULLY

IF YOU FELT, HEARD OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING THAT

DREW YOU TO CHRIST (CHRISTIANS WALK CLOSER, OR NEWLY BORN AGAIN)

MADE YOU AWARE THAT YOU NEEDED SAVING (THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD)

MANY DENOMINATIONAL BACKGROUNDS IN ROOM

CAN MEAN MANY THINGS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE

IT TAKES A LIFE TIME TO GET TO KNOW FULLY THE HOLY SPIRIT

HE IS A HE

A PERSON

THE THIRD PART OF THE TRINITY (FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT)

KNOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT

RECOGNIZING HIM AT WORK

FEELING HIS PRESENCE

IS VITAL TO WALKING OUT OUR FAITH EVERYDAY

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

WHAT ROLES DOES HE PLAY IN MY LIFE?

WHAT BENEFIT DOES HE BRING?

ALL QUESTIONS I WILL ATTEMPT TO ANSWER

REAL QUICK

HS BRINGS THE POWER AND ANOINTING PRESENCE OF JESUS AND GOD INTO OUR LIVES.

HE LEADS US INTO TRANSFORMATION (MAKES YOU NEW, REDEEMS YOU AND FIXES YOU)

HE TAKES US ON A JOURNEY CALLED SANCTIFICATION (MAKES US MORE LIKE JESUS EVERYDAY)-WE GROW/ITS A LIFE LONG PROCCESS

IF WE ENGAGE IN THE JOURNEY HE TAKES FRUITS OF THE FLESH AND REPLACES WITH THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

BRINGS THE VERY NATURE AND LIFE OF JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE

ULTIMATE GOAL

TO LIVE A LIFE THAT GLORIFIES GOD AND ADVANCES THE GOSPEL OF JESUS

John 6:44 ““No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

HOLY SPIRIT DRAWS US

HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONE WHO AWAKENED YOUR INTERNAL NEED FOR JESUS

YOU DIDN’T COME UP WITH THAT ON YOUR OWN

WITHOUT THAT WE WOULD STAY STUCK

HE REVEALED THE WRETCHEDNESS OF OUR FLESH

Galatians 5:19-21 “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

THAT IS OUR LIFE PRIOR TO THE SPIRIT OF GODS WORK IN OUR LIVES

ITS ABOUT OUR SELVES

AT SALVATION

YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT

YOU SURENDER YOUR LIFE TO JESUS

NOT ALL THE FLESHLY DESIRES GO AWAY (SOME DO AND SOME DONT)

DONT EXPECT TO NEVER FACE A CHALLENGE OR TROUBLES OR ANY PROBLEMS

YOUR BEGINING A JOURNEY A LIFE LONG FRIENDSHIP WITH THE LORD

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS MADE HIS HOME IN YOU

YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM FREE RUN OF THE HOUSE

WE HAVE TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIM TO GROW IN US

MORE SPACE YOU GIVE HIM THE MORE FRUIT COMES FROM US

Galatians 5:22-3 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

ARE THE VERY ESSENCE OF WHO JESUS IS

AS WE ENGAGE IN SANCTIFICATION OF THE SPIRIT

FRUITS OF THE FLESH ARE REPLACED WITH THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.

FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAUSES HIS FRUIT OT COME FROM YOUR LIFE.

RIVERS OF HOLY SPIRIT FRUIT FLOW FROM OUR LIFE TO HEAL, FEED AND SUPPORT

John 7:38 “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.””

LIFE WILL FLOW FROM DEEP WITHIN YOU

So, who is He?

He is our comforter

HE comforts us in times a need

He is our counselor

He gives us advise, directs and guides

He is our friend

He helps us when we need help

Jesus called Him our helper

He is sent to remind us of scripture.

John 14:26 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

What’s His role?

WHAT DOES HE DO?

He exalts Jesus in our lives

sanctifies us

and empowers us.

Act 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

YOU HAVE POWER

POWER HAS BEEN GIVEN YOU TO TAKE THE GOSPEL EVERY WHERE YOUR FEET GO

AND THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH YOU

BROUGHT THE LORD WITH ME (YOU ARE CARRING THE POWER AND PRESERNCE OF GOD) REMEMBER THAT

What benefit does He bring?

WE CAN NOW LIVE IT

THE LIFE WE ALWAYS WANTED BUT COULDN’T

THE LIFE WE ARE DESTINED TO LIVE

BOOK OR ROMANS

READ IN ORDER CH1-

CH 7 AND 8

PAUL PAINTS A PITURE OF THE LIFE LIVED IN THE FLESH VRS THE LIFE LIVED IN THE SPIRIT

CH7 LIFE IN THE FLESH

PAUL SAYS HE WANTS TO DO GOOD BUT FOR SOME REASON HE JUST CANT

HE WRESLED HIS NATURE AND LEARED THE LAW AND COULDNT MEASURE UP

HE BASICALLY COMES TO THE REALIZATION HE CANT DO IT ON HIS OWN ANY LONGER

VRS 24 HE SAYS “WHO WILL RESUCE ME FROM THIS BODY OF DEATH”

VRS 25 HE SAYS “THANKS BE TO GOD, WHO DELIVERS ME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD” AMEN!!

CH8 LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

PAUL INFATICALLY PROCLAIMS THE LAW NO LONGER CONDEMS ME

HE TELLS US BC WE HAVE PUT OUR FAITH IN JESUS AND RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE ACCUSER NO LONGER CAN CONDEM US

WE HAVE BEEN SET FREE

Romans 8.1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,”

Romans 8:6 “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”

LIVING BY THE SPIRIT IS LIFE AND PEACE

TO DO SO WE MUST

CONTINUE TO SURRENDER AND LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

ALLOW HIM TO POUR THE LIFE OF JESUS INTO US

MAKE OUR SELVES AVAILABLE AND BE WILLING TO PUT TO DEATH THE DEEDS OF THE FLESH

AWAKEN THE LIFE OF JESUS IN US

YOU HAVE NOW BECOME GODS HOLY DWELLING PLACE

YOU TAKE HIM WITH YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO

HE SEES WHAT YOU SEE

HE HEATS WHAT YOU HEAR

IF THAT IS TRUE THEN WE SHOULD LIVE LIKE IT

AND BTW IT IS TRUE

How do we continually let the Spirit of God pour the Life of God into our Life?

1- Begin to read Gods word.

Provers, 31 Chapters

Read the Gospels,-pay special attention to the life of Jesus.

Don’t just memorize scripture, absorb the Truth of Gods Word

2- Get in community with other believers.

Get plugged in to a local church and be consistent, available, and serve.

Attend a local post encounter. Then come serve at encounter weekends.

3- Pray: Begin to develop a consistent prayer life. (Read secrets of the secret place)

Pray to God the Father-talk to him like you would your very best friend.

Pray to the Holy Spirit- ask Him to help you understand and remember scripture.

Pray to Jesus- Thank Him for all He has done for you.

4- Listen to the Holy Spirit.

Our problem is not so much we don’t hear Him, its that we ignore Him.

When He asks you to pour out do it!

Dirty Glass

Are you ready to pour out?

Well remember before you can pour out you have to be filled up.

We cannot pour out what we don’t have.

Before we Encountered Jesus

LOOKED LIKE THIS DIRTY

FILTY INSIDE

DRINK??

YOU GUYS HAVE ENCOUNTERED JESUS

YOU LOOK CLEAN

EMPTIED OUT OF THE TRASH AND DIRT

YOU HAE BEEN FILLED UP AND YOUR READY TO CONTINUE THE JOURNEY (OR MABEY START IT)

RED CUPS SERVER CUPS

CANT TELL WHATS INSIDE IT FROM THE OUT SIDE

ME WHEARING MY SERVER LANYARD, CHRISTIAN SHIRT, LISTENING TO CHRISTIAN MUSIC

TAKE A DRINK OF THAT AND YOU WOULD EXPECT SOMTHING GOOD

IF I AM NOT SURENDERED TO CHRIST, ALLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FILL ME THEN WHAT COMES OUT WILL NOT BE WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT.

AT BEST IT WILL BE A TAINTED VERSON OF THE REAL THING, A PERVERSION.

CLEAN GLASS

YOU SHOUD LOOK LIKE THIS

CLEAN, EMPTIED OUT AND READY TO FILL UP

YOU ARE FORGIVEN, REDEEMED AND SET FREE!

NOW THE JOURNEY BEGINS

FILL THE CUP

I COULD DRINK THAT

FULLEST POINT IS RIGHT BEFORE THE WATER OVER FLOWS

CALLED THE WATER BUBBLE

THE WATER MOLECULES FINALLY LET GO AND SPILL OVER THE EDGE

GOD WANTS YOU TO LET GO OF YOUR SELF SO HE CAN FLOW FREELY OUT OF YOU

GOD DID NOT INTEND FOR US TO SEE HOW FULL WE CAN GET

HE WANTS TO TAKE US TO OVERFLOWING

FULL OF THE SPIRIT? NO YOUR OVERFLOWING IN THE SPIRIT

THAT IS WHAT FULL MEANS TO GOD

ENCOUNTERED THE LORD NOW WHAT?

YOUR ON FIRE, YOUR EXCITED

GO HOME AND

READ THE BIBLE

GET CONNECTED WITH A BIBLE BELIEVING CURCH

GET IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHER BELIEVERS

HOPFULLY GET PLUGGED INTO A LOCAL POST

WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN

LIFE

ALL THAT YOU LEFT WILL STILL BE THERE

PROBLEMS, TROUBLES AND PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH.

NOW YOUR FILLED WITH SOMETHING TOTALY DIFRENT

THE SPIRIT OF GOD

MONDAY

WALK INTO WORK....

WAKE UP LATE

LIFE HITS YOU IN THE FACE

YOUR POUR OUT JESUS

But don’t forget,

You keep reading Gods Word

You keep pouring out Jesus

Attend Church

Pouring out Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Gentleness, and Self Control

Come to post encounter, you pray continually........ You getting this?

LEAKY VESSEL

WE LEAK OUT/WE DONT EVEN REALIZE IT

DON’T GO HOME AND EXPECT THE TRANSFORMATION YOU RECIEVED TO REMAIN IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW GOD TO POUR LIFE IN YOU.

EVENTUALLY YOU WILL LEAK OUT EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS POURED INTO YOU

YOU WILL FIND YOUR SELF EVEN DIRTIER THAN YOU WERE BEFORE YOU CAME

WE CANT LIVE THE LIFE JESUS PAID FOR ON AN EMPTY CUP

The world is tired of counterfeit, they have enough fake, and they see plenty of phonies. What they are looking for are men full of the Spirit.

ACTS 6:3 “Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them”

THE HOLY SPIRIT WS SENT FOR US TO LIVE EXTROIDINARY LIVES

NOT MEDIOCRE

GOD INTENDS FOER US TO BE KNOWN FOR BEING FULL TO OVER FLOWING IN THE SPIRIT

OUR FAMILY NEEDS US, OUR CHURCH, OUT COMUNITY AND EVEN THE WORLD

Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

ALL FOR GODS GLORY!

CHALLENGE

DON’T LET THIS SLIP AWAY

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?
