Don’t Put Out the Fire of
The Holy Spirit
ü When the Holy Spirit was sent to indwell the Christians of the new
Church, The Holy Spirit came upon them with fire.
[Acts 2:1-3]
ü The Holy Spirit gives gifts to believers.
That gift, when neglected,
needs to be “stirred up” – that is, fanned as you would a fire.
[1 Timothy 4:14]
ü In Revelation 4:5, John’s glimpse of heaven, he sees at the throne of
God seven torches which represent the seven spirits of God – a
poetic way of describing the fullness and completeness of the Holy
Spirit.
[Isaiah 11:2-3]
1 Thessalonians 5:19

Review
o
o
“The Holy Spirit” – is the 3rd person of our Triune God.
We have one
God who is three persons.
[Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter
1:2]
“Spirit” – in Hebrew word is “ruach”, which means “wind” or “breath”
and often points to the divine energy and power that can only be of and
from God.
In Greek the word is “pneuma”, which also means “wind,
breath, or air”; the invisible force of the Lord’s power at work.
The Big Idea:
The Spirit as the fire of God represents the presence,
power, passion, and purity of God.
In no way does Paul suggest the Holy
Spirit ever leaves a saved person, but he does suggest that much of our
experience with the Spirit is affected by how we choose to respond to
Him.
Key Truths We’ve Learned So Far
1.
The Holy Spirit is God.
2. What the Father plans for our salvation, the Son procures and what the
Son procures, the Holy Spirit applies to our lives.
[Alistair Begg]
3. Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit [Titus 3:5]
4. Every Christian has received the Holy Spirit.
[Romans 8:9]
5. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is commanded as something we
desire that God do to us.
It means we are controlled by the Holy
Spirit – following His leading and obeying God’s Word (the two
will never be contradictory).
The filling is an infinitely repeatable
experience.
[Ephesians 5:18]
6.
The Holy Spirit works in the Christian to transform us, from the
inside out, to be like Christ.
[Galatians 5:22-23]
7. Today: The presence and work of the Holy Spirit is like a fire in
our lives which can be fanned and fed or ignored and suppressed.

Positive Ways to Stoke the Fire of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives

Seek to have an ongoing conversation with the Lord during your
day.
Rather than getting in the way of your tasks and
relationships, they will be enhanced by prayer.
Trust that the Holy Spirit will joyfully guide you through life.
Gladly listen for God’s voice and receive His truth, but examine
everything by comparing to Scripture.
If it is God, the Bible will
confirm the message.
Thank the Lord that He is in you and loves you.
Desire and pursue intimacy with the Lord.
Learn to simply be with
Him.
