3 Your feelings have nothing to do with the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit He abides with you for the sole purpose of empowering you to live supernaturally He wants to take you out of your problems and into victory. He wants to anoint you to be everything that you want to be and more. (Marilyn Hickey) Spirit-directed education and the Classroom 7. Release the anointing As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie.... (1 John 2:27, NASB).

4 The illuminating power of the anointing will enable you to distinguish between truth and error, between the holy and the profane, so you handle it rightly. And because the anointing is based in truth, it faithfully guides and teaches you, bringing you into the fullness of your purpose in God. Spirit-directed education and the Classroom 7. Release the anointing In other words, the anointing the Holy Spirit of God is at home in you. He abides, stays, in your inner man! The anointing in your life is not based on whim or emotion. It is a lasting, abiding treasure in your earthen vessel. (Judy Jacobs) the anointing produces results

10 Do you have any hindrances?

11 Isa. 63:10 1. Grieving the Holy Spirit Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them. Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption (Eph. 4:29-30).

12 Eph. 4: Getting mad at people Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice; And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ s sake hath forgiven you.

13 Acts 7:51 3. Disagreeing or fighting - You stubborn people! You are heathen and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That s what your ancestors did, and so do you! (NLT) Failing to accept His comfort and not following His prompting

14 Eph. 4: Failing to tell the truth or speak evil of others Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying; that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God.... Col. 2:8 5. Following after the things of the world ). Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Phil. 2: Murmuring and whining ). Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.

15 Heb.10: Thess. 5:19 7. Insulting the Spirit of God by deliberately continuing to sin 8. Quenching (suffocate, extinguish or suppress the influence of) the Spirit in your life 1. Ignoring the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49)... clothed with power from on high. 2. Failing to give attention to the Gifts of the Spirit (I Cor. 14:39; I Thess. 5:20) "Do not forbid speaking in tongues. "Do not despise prophecies. 3. Attempting to stop the flow of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18-19) It s funny how you can sense when God is going to move in a mighty way. That morning when I woke up everything seemed somehow different. Once we started praise and worship in chapel, I could just feel the Holy Spirit among us. After a while, I turned around and looked at my Sophomore class, why were they so dead, I thought? While God was moving, many were just sitting down in their seats and watching not wanting to take part in the praise and worship. It was if they wanted to stop the flow of the Spirit. But it couldn t stop what the Holy Spirit wanted to do. After a while I turned around and looked at my class again. They were in the back of the room, holding hands and praying. I couldn t believe my eyes. Bitter hearts were being softened and broken ones mended. The people who always seemed so serious and gloomy suddenly had the joy of the Lord.

16 Acts 5: Lying to the Holy Spirit Deception Hypocrisy Covetousness Praise of men Sometimes, we forget about the holiness of God, that He is righteous and pure, and that He hates sin, wholeheartedly.
