Genesis 1:2 NKJV
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

The Function of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament

The contexts in which the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the Old Testament are very broad. They include:
• the creation of the world;
• the redemption and formation of the people of God;
• the divine empowerment of Israel’s leadership (king, prophet, judge, and social worker);
• the ethics of the people of God.

The Holy Spirit is a full member of the God head.

it is my hope to make everyone in this study uncomfortable.
if you are a member of this church and you come from the charismatic side of the body at some point in this study we will see the gentle humility of the Holy Spirit.
my hope is that as you look at Wednesday Night bible study and you see that your quest for experiences, and your preoccupation with the things that you have elevated to spiritual may be in some part the flesh.
the Holy Spirit does not grade on the bell curve. the statement “if you think I’m bad now you should h ave known me when… is an exscuse and will not be excepted here.
what ever that excuse was intended to cover, if you try to use the excuse whatever behavior your trying to justify, you are moving away from correction.
1 Corinthians 14:33 NKJV
33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
in the same vein i want to challenge those of us that come from an intellectual only people.
the Holy Spirit is a spirit of power as well as the humility that I mentioned before.
Acts 4:31 NKJV
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

why would I want to teach on the Holy Spirit?

He is promised to us by Jesus

John 16:7–9 NKJV
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 depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

it is the Holy Spirit that descended onto Jesus before His public Ministry

Luke 3:21–22 NKJV
21 When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. 22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

it is the Holy Spirit that empowered Salvation at Pentecost.

Acts 2:40–41 NKJV
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” 41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

it is the Holy Spirit that brings healing to those who are in-firmed.

(NKJV)

A Lame Man Healed
3 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
