2 John 16:6-7 (NIV) Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

3 Jesus is saying that it really is better to live in the era of the Spirit than in the days when Jesus lived in the flesh.

4 Acts 1:4-5 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

5 Acts 1:7 (NIV) He said to them: It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

6 Power

7 Acts 2:2-4 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

13 Three goals of IGNITE

14 Three goals of IGNITE That we will embrace the mystery of the Holy Spirit

15 John 3:8 (NIV) The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

16 Three goals of IGNITE That we will embrace the mystery of the Holy Spirit

17 The Holy Spirit is alive and well and is as fully committed to the redemption of this earth as he was 2000 years ago.

18 Three goals of IGNITE That we will embrace the mystery of the Holy Spirit That we will align ourselves with the Holy Spirit s work in our lives

19 Don t grieve the Spirit

21 Three goals of IGNITE That we will embrace the mystery of the Holy Spirit That we will align ourselves with the Holy Spirit s work in our lives That we pray we pray for the Holy Spirit to manifest His power in our lives and the in the church

22 IGNITE- PRAYING FOR HOLY SPIRIT TO MANIFEST HIS POWER IN OUR LIVES AND CHURCH Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I ve been born of the Spirit, sealed by the Spirit and am indwelt by the Holy Spirit. That is why asking you for a fresh work of the Spirit in my life is an easy thing to do. You are quintessential generosity the most bighearted and open-handed Father imaginable. You won t give us snakes and scorpions, when we ask; but grace and more grace, and still more grace!

23 So Father, not doubting your promise one bit; and, without shame or hesitation, acknowledging my need, I ask for a fresh stirring and filling of your Holy Spirit. I know that, apart from your Spirit, I can t believe the gospel and love Jesus, the way I want to. So Father, by the power that raised him from the dead, free me from my under-believing and over-compensating.

24 Open the eyes of my heart to see more of Jesus. Dazzle me with his delights; buckle my knees with his beauty; put me face down on the ground from a renewed awareness of his glory and grace; grant me jawdropping wonder and awe, in response to Jesus majesty and mercy, and the perfection and completion of his work for us.

25 Grant me power, with all your children, to know the height, depth, width and breadth of Jesus love a love that surpasses knowledge; the only love that is better than life; the only love that is enough. You ve poured out his love into my heart before; do it again, and again and again. May the love of Jesus be the most compelling and propelling force in my life; turning my whining into worship; my timidity into fearless faith; small dreams into a kingdom vision; my hesitation to risk much, into a life of gospel adventures.

26 By the grave-robbing, kingdom-advancing, Christexalting power of the Holy Spirit, restore to me the joy of your incomparable salvation; renew my love for the beauty and freedom of holiness; and intensity my awareness and excitement about the occupied throne of heaven.

27 Indeed, Father, you ARE working in all things for your glory and our good; and you ARE working all things together after the counsel of your will; and you ARE summing up all things in Christ. What a salvation he has won for us! So fill us with the Holy Spirit in Jesus exalted and awesome name we pray. Amen! *Adapted from A prayer for a fresh stirring and filing of the Holy Spirit by Scotty Smith.
