3 Sealing 2Cor 1:22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a 1pledge. Eph 1:13, 14 In 1Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation having also 2believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of dgod s own possession, to the praise of His glory. Eph 4:30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 1by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

4 From The Gospels to Pentecost Jn 7:39 But this He spoke aof the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jn 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the 1aHelper will not come to you; but if I go, bi will send Him to you. Jn 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. Lk 24:49 And behold, ai am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high. Acts 1:5 for ajohn baptized with water, but you will be baptized 1with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.

5 HS Baptism: Our Share in Pentecost Acts 1:5 for ajohn baptized with water, but you will be baptized 1with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. 1Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Rom 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

7 HS Baptism: Characteristics Mark 1:8 I baptized you 1with water; but He will baptize you 1with the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:5 for ajohn baptized with water, but you will be baptized 1with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Acts 2

8 HS Baptism: Characteristics Gal 3:27,28 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is 1neither male nor female; for you are all one in cchrist Jesus.

9 HS Baptism: From Pentecost Forward Acts 2:38; 8:14-17; 10:44-48; 11:15,16; 19:1-8 Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, arepent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:14-17 Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them bpeter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized 1in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit.

10 HS Baptism: From Pentecost Forward Acts 10:44-48 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the 1message. aall the 1circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered, asurely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he? And he ordered them to be baptized bin the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

11 HS Baptism: From Pentecost Forward Acts 11:15-18 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just bas He did upon us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Therefore if agod gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could 1stand in God s way? When they heard this, they 1quieted down and glorified God, saying, Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life.

12 HS Baptism: From Pentecost Forward Acts 19:1-7 It happened that while aapollos was at bcorinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? And they said to him, No, we have not even heard whether 1there is a Holy Spirit. And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, ainto John s baptism. Paul said, ajohn baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized 1in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. There were in all about twelve men.

13 Summation a new union Rom 6:5; Phil 2:2 a new position Eph 2:1-10 a new association 1Pet 5:6-11; Gal 5:17; Col 3:1-3; Rom 13:8-14

14 A New Union Rom 6:5 For if we have become 1united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, Phil 2:2 make my joy complete 1by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

15 Eph 2:1-10 A New Position

16 A New Association 1Pet 5:6-11 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

17 A New Association Gal 5:17 For the flesh 1sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. Col 3:1-3 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

18 A New Association Rom 13:8-14 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET, and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. Love 1does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

20 Illumination of Truth Jn 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born 1again he cannot see the kingdom of God. 2Cor 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Rom 1:21,22 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools 1Cor 2:14 But 1a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

21 Illumination of Truth Jn 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. Jn 16:13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. Jn 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

22 Illumination of Truth Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD Jn 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. 1Cor 2:9,10 but just as it is written, athings WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

23 Illumination of Truth 1Jn 2:27 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, and just as it has taught you, 1you abide in Him.

24 Illumination of Truth Jude 3,4 abeloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the 1saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 2Tim 2:2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be eable to teach others also. Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with 2great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

25 Illumination of Truth Heb 8:10,11 FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM bon THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. aand THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, KNOW THE LORD, FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM. Jn 6:45 It is written in the prophets, AND THEY SHALL ALL BE ctaught OF GOD. Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

26 Illumination of Guidance Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go up and join this 1chariot. Acts 13:2,4 While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to bcyprus. Acts 16:6,7 They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in 2cAsia; 7 and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the cspirit of Jesus did not permit them

27 Illumination of Guidance Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

28 Illumination of Guidance 1Tim 4:13 Until I come, give attention to the public breading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. 2Tim 3:15-17 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in echrist Jesus. All Scripture is 1inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for 2training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. Ps 1:1,2 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is bin the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. Ps 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

29 Illumination of Guidance Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Acts 16:6,7 They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in casia; and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the cspirit of Jesus did not permit them Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to cus to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:

30 Illumination of Comfort Rom 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Phil 1:19 for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your 2prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ 1Pet 4:14 If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. Acts 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing cat the right hand of God

31 Illumination of Comfort Jn 14:16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever Jn 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. Jn 15:26 When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me Jn 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

32 The Ministry of the Holy Spirit His Role in the the Life of the Believer

33 Indwelling Jn 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. Jn 14:16-17 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

34 The Holy Spirit: The Helper Jn 16:9-11 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

35 The Holy Spirit: The Helper Eph 1:13,14 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

36 The Holy Spirit: The Helper 1Cor 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

37 The Holy Spirit: The Helper 2Cor 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

38 The Holy Spirit: The Helper 2Thess 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

39 The Holy Spirit: The Helper Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth. Eph 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

40 Indwelling: When? Eph 1:13,14 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation having also 2believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

41 Indwelling: In whom? Jn 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

42 Indwelling: Which believers? Rom 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Col 3:11 a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

43 Indwelling: How long? Jn 14:16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another 1aHelper, that He may be with you forever

44 Indwelling: Is knowing important? Jn 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. Jn 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

45 Knowledge of Indwelling 1Cor 3:16,17 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. 1Cor 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

46 Knowledge of Indwelling 2Cor 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you unless indeed you fail the test? James 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us?

47 Indwelling Impact Rom 8:9-11 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised cchrist Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

48 Indwelling Impact Rom 8:9-11 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised cchrist Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

49 What the Spirit s presence suggests about God 1Jn 3:24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. Eph 3:16,17 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

50 What the Spirit s presence suggests about God Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and 1the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Col 1:27 to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Jn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and cmy Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

51 The Ministry of the Holy Spirit His Role in the the Life of the Believer

52 Key Passage Eph 5:18-21 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

53 Empowerment: the task

54 Empowerment: the promise Lk 24:49 And behold, ai am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high. Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.

55 Filling Eph 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit Gal 3:5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works 1miracles among you, do it by the works of 2the Law, or by hearing with faith?

56 Picture Of Jn 7:37-39 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, From 1his innermost being will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

57 Manifestations of Filling: character Gal 5:22,23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

58 Manifestations of Filling: service Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in bchrist Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Rom 12:1,2 Therefore ai urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, 1acceptable to God, which is your 2spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this 1world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 1Pet 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

59 Manifestations of Filling: teaching Jn 16:12-15 I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. 1Cor 2:12 1Cor 3:1-3

60 Manifestations of Filling: teaching Jn 16: Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God 1Cor 3:1-3And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

61 Manifestations of Filling: praise Eph 5:18-21 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

62 Manifestations of Filling: leading Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

63 Manifestations of Filling: internal witness Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God Gal 4:6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba! Father!

64 Manifestations of Filling: intercession Rom 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words

70 Key Passages 1. Jn 13: Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 3. 1Cor 11:30-32 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. 4. Heb 12: Lk 15:1-32

72 The Ministry of the Holy Spirit His Role in the the Life of the Believer

73 The Ministry of the Holy Spirit For the believer: Security To the believer: Enabling Through the believer: Equipping

74 Who Is The Holy Spirit Jn 16:8-11 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

75 Who Is The Holy Spirit Acts 2:38 Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

76 Who Is The Holy Spirit 1Cor 12:13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

77 1. He is your Helper Jn 16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you

78 2. He sanctifies you 1Cor 6:11 But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God

79 3. He makes you more like Christ 2Cor 3:18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord s glory, are being transformed into his image with everincreasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit

80 4. He helps you do the Father s Will Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go up and join this chariot,

81 5. He gifts you for ministry 1 Cor 12:4-11 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have

82 6. He imparts the Father s love Rom 5:3-5 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us

83 7. He gives hope Rom 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope

84 8. He teaches and gives insight Jn 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you

85 9. He guides you in prayer Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words

86 10. He uses you for evangelism Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth

87 The Ministry of the Holy Spirit His Role in the the Life of the Believer

88 Do Not Quench The Holy Spirit 1Thess 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit Eph 6:16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

89 How Do We Quench The Spirit 1Thess 5:16-22 Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every 1form of evil. 2Tim 1:6 For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

90 Christ s Example He was willing to go where His Father chose Heb 10:5-7 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT ca BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME; IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE. THEN I SAID, BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN bthe SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.

91 Christ s Example He was willing to be whatever His Father chose Phil 2:5-8 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

92 Christ s Example He was willing to do whatever His Father chose Heb 12:1,2 let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

93 Why Would We Quench The Holy Spirit 1Kgs 19:11-13 So He said, Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD. And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?

94 Do Not Quench The Holy Spirit Jer 10:23 I know, O LORD, that a man s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.

95 The Ministry of the Holy Spirit His Role in the the Life of the Believer

96 Gal 5:16-25 Walk By The Spirit

97 Walk: Continuous Gal 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. Gal 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also 1walk by the Spirit. Heb 5:12 For though 1by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the coracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

98 Walk: Resources Jn 7:37-39 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. Jn 16:14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. Acts 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.

99 Walk: Purpose/Need World: Rom 12:1,2 Therefore ai urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

100 Walk: Purpose/Need Devil: 1Pet 5:8,9 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your 2brethren who are in the world.

101 Walk: Purpose/Need Flesh: Gal 5:16-25 Rom 13:13,14 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
