What The Holy Spirit Does Nick Roland Ryan Ceola Russell Dorch
The work of the Holy Spirit is to manifest the active presence of God in the world, and especially in the church. Wayne Gruden
Life In The Spirit 1. An initial event 2. An ongoing process 3. A glorious conclusion
An Initial Event When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased. Luke 3:21-22 (NIV)
An Initial Event And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God s possession to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 (NIV)
An Initial Event Baptism Regeneration Sealing Indwelling
An Ongoing Process Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. Luke 4:1-2 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. Luke 4:14-15 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Ephesians 2:18 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God s holy apostles and prophets. Ephesians 3:4-5 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Ephesians 3:16-17a (NIV)
An Ongoing Process Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called... Ephesians 4:3-4 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:18-20 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord s people. Ephesians 6:17-18 (NIV)
An Ongoing Process So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 (NIV)
