(A Series on I Corinthians)
 
Westgate Chapel 9~/27~/98 a.m.
Intro to I Corinthians 12
 
PROPOSITION:  The gift of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers today for power to live for God, minister to and for God, and to be a witness of God to the world.
!
I. introduction
!! -     IN Genesis 1:1 the Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth.
!! -     IN John’s Gospel, John tells us that in the beginning Jesus was with God and that,
!!!       “*Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made*.”
(John 1:3)
!! -     SO, the Father was present and active in creation.
!! -     JESUS, the Son of God, was present and active in creation.
!! -     BUT Genesis 1:2 tells us that the Holy Spirit of God was present and active in creation.
!! -     IN fact, Genesis 1:2 says that,
!!!       “...*the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters*.”
!! -     GOD the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit....all present and all active in creation.
!! -     WHICH explains why in Genesis 1:26, God says,
!!!       “*Let us make man in our image, in our likeness*...”
!! -     ONE God....revealed to us in three persons.
!! -     AND from Genesis to Revelation the member of the Godhead who most frequently is recorded as doing the will and work of the Father amongst us is the person of the Holy Spirit.
!! -     HE is not some vague influence or force for good.
He is the person of the Holy Spirit.
!!! ~*     I Corinthians 2:10 says,
!!!!       “*The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God*.”
!!!! •     He acts with intelligence and wisdom, like a person does.
!!! ~*     Romans 8:27 says that He,
!!!!       “...*intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will*.”
!!!! •     He acts in accordance with the will of the Father.
!!! ~*     Ephesians 4:30 says to not,
!!!!       “...* grieve the Holy Spirit of God*.”
!!!! •     So, He has emotions and feelings.
!!! ~*     I Corinthians 12:11 says, concerning the gifts of the Spirit, that He,
!!!!       “...*gives them to each one, just as he determines*.”
!!!! •     So, He has a will and acts accordingly.
!!! ~*     In Matthew He is the agent of conception when Mary was with child.
!!! ~*     In John He fills Jesus for the work of His calling....and guides us into all Truth.
!!! ~*     In Acts He fills and empowers the Church.
!!! ~*     In Romans He intercedes for us.
!!! ~*     In I Corinthians He lives in the life of the believer.
!!! ~*     In Galatians He is the One who cries out, “Abba Father!” through us.
!!! ~*     In Ephesians He is the One who brings us, through Jesus, into the presence of the Father.
!!! ~*     In Philippians He is the One through whom we worship.
!!! ~*     In 2 Thessalonians He is the One who is sanctifying us.
!!! ~*     In Titus He is the One who brings us to repentance and salvation.
!!! ~*     In I Peter He is the One who empowers the preaching of the Word.
!!! ~*     In I John He is the One who reveals Truth to us.
!!! ~*     In Revelation He is the One who speaks to the churches.
!! -     HE is the person of the Godhead, the precious Holy Spirit.
!! -     AND even though He is the member of the Godhead who points away from Himself and reveals Jesus to us....He is still very much a member of the triunity of God.
!
ii.the holy spirit in the old testament
!! -     FROM Genesis to Revelation the Holy Spirit is the One sent forth from the Father to DO the work of His purposes and plans.
!! -     SPEAKING of creation, Psalm 104:30 says,
!!!       “*When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth*.”
!! -     IN Genesis 1:2, when the earth was.....
!!! ~*     Formless....without shape, without terrain, without definition.
!!! ~*     Empty....without life, without vegetation, without animals, without human life.
!!! ~*     And darkness covered the surface of the earth...without light.
!! -     BACK when these conditions prevailed, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit “hovered.”
!! -     ONE translation says, “brooded”.....like a hen does over an egg from which life is about to burst forth.
!! -     ANOTHER translation speaks of the Holy Spirit “moving” over the waters of the deep.
!!  
!! -     IN Genesis 6:3....when humankind had become mostly rebellious and sinful....
!!! ~*     It is the Holy Spirit who is said to “strive” or “contend” with man.
!! -     IN Genesis 41....when Pharaoh was beside himself and no one was able to interpret his troubling dreams, a man named Joseph is brought to him.
!!! ~*     And verse 38 says that Joseph is,
!!!!       “...*one in whom is the Spirit of God*”
!! -     IN Exodus God gave Moses explicit instructions concerning the building of the Tabernacle....every detail.
Building it must have seemed an impossible task.
!!! ~*     But in Exodus 31:3 God says that He has chosen a contractor, Bezalel for the task and says,
!!!!       “...*I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts*.”
!! -     IN the Book of Numbers 11:17, when providing leadership for over 1 million Jews camping in the wilderness,  proved to be too big a task for Moses, God told Moses to select 70 elders to help him.
!!! ~*     And then God tells Moses,
!!!!       “*I will take of the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on them.*”
!!! ~*     And a few verses later when the elders had gathered in the tent of meeting it says,
!!!!       “*When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied*...”
!!! ~*     And in verse 26, two of the 70 who had gotten left in the camp, had the Spirit fall on them too and they prophesied in their tents....scaring some of the people.
!!! ~*     In verse 29, when some of the people complained about the two elders prophesying in their tents, Moses answered them,
!!!!       “...*I wish that all the LORD'S people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them*!”
!! -     IN Numbers 27:18, when it was time for someone to replace Moses’ leadership in Israel,
!!! ~*     God says,
!!!!       “*Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him*.”
!! -     IN Judges 6, when God called Gideon to deliver His people from the Midianites, and Gideon felt so worthless and weak and hopeless...
!!! ~*     Judges 6:34 says,
!!!!       “*Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him*.”
!! -     IN Judges 13:25, before Samson lost the power of God on his life through sin....
!!! ~*     The Bible says that when God got ready to use Samson,
!!!!       “...*the Spirit of the LORD began to stir *(move)* him*.”
!! -     IN I Samuel 10:10-11, when Israel had asked for a king, and God sent His prophet Samuel to select and anoint a king.....
!!! ~*     The man he found, Saul, was too young, to immature, too inexperienced to be king over Israel.
He had trouble finding his father’s donkeys.
!!! ~*     But Samuel anointed Saul and sent him on his way with a prophecy over him...and verse 10 says,
!!!!       “*When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him*(Saul)* in power, and he joined in their prophesying*.
(11) *When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, ‘What is this that has happened to the son of Kish?
Is Saul also among the prophets?*’”
!! -     LATER, when Saul failed as king, Samuel anointed a humble shepherd boy as Saul’s replacement.
!!! ~*     I Samuel 16:13 says,
!!!!       “...*from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power*.”
!! -     DAVID had seen Saul when the Spirit of the Lord was on him, and he had seen how pitiful Saul became when God removed His Spirit from him...which is why when David sinned with Bathsheba, he cried out in Psalm 51:11,
!!!       “*Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me*.”
!! -     ALL through the times of the kings and the prophets in Israel’s history, when conditions were desperate and the people called on the Lord, God would put His Spirit on a prophet or a king....and Israel would be delivered from her enemies and led back to God.
!! -     WHENEVER there was an extreme need and desperate conditions in the Old Testament, God would pour out His Spirit on a Joseph, or a Moses, or a Bezalel or a David to accomplish His purposes for that generation.
