Good Evening I’d like to invite you this evening to take a look with me into what the Bible says about God’s Holy Spirit.
One of the most important things we can say about the Holy Spirit is that He is a person, He is not an influence He is not a feeling, He is not courage even though He may produce some of those effects but thats not who He is.
(Let’s Pray)
He is a person, and when we are inhabited by Jesus Christ, we get the Father, we get the Son and we get the Holy Spirit.
It is impossible to having the Holy Spirit living within us without also having the Father and the Son living inside of us, Jesus made that clear in the upper room when He said.
My Father will come and I will come and WE will come and make our abode with Him.
Tonight’s message is on sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
Becoming sensitive to the God that is within us.
I remember back when Mrs. Marie Traywick was still on this old Earth.
I would be sitting in the office and all of a sudden I would have this nudging that something was wrong with Mrs. Marie.
More than once I jumped up from the desk and hopped in the truck and drove to the house.
Every time that happened something had gone wrong.
I came three times and she had fallen, she needed help getting up, there was once I pulled in when the ambulance was pulling up at the same time.
It truly is amazing what can happen when we become sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
That is just one example.
But what do I mean when I say being sensitive to the Holy Spirit within?
I remember being out at a restaurant for lunch with a church member one day and seeing this man who was being insensitive to his wife and he didnt get it either he was thinking A. I am not doing anything wrong to her.
B.
Even if I am its not big deal
Now thats the way we treat the Holy Spirit, you see we grieve the Holy Spirit and we say to ourselves its not that big a deal, were greiving Him and we dont even know it.
Today I want the Spirit to uncover ways we grieve Him so that we are made more blessable.
God wants to bless us and how do we become more blessable?
Ephesians 4:
Are you ever amazed at how right the Bible is?
It calls these desires decietful because they are....
Ephesians
When we are born again it is a massive deal, when we get saved it is a huge deal.
Because God comes to live within us through the third person of the trinity the Holy Spirit.
What the Spirit of God does is He creates a space, within us where He can live.
He comes to live inside of you.
I was young in the faith but I never will forget the chills that ran down my spine when I first heard this next verse.
Ephesians 4:
The Spirit of God is very sensitive He is likened unto a dove because doves are sensitive birds and the Spirit isnt gonna force Himself on you.
You see one of the mistakes we make is that because we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us, we think we dont have to seek Him.
But of course that’s wrong, in the OT you remember David knewgod very well and yet he kept saying I seek the Lord.
WHY?
It is in the process of seeking God that we make ourselves blessable.
Where we deal with issues that grieve the Spirit, when He reveals them to us.
It is there that we are pointed to Jesus.
WE MUST SEEK THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL HIS FULLNESS AND GREAT GLORY.
DONT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
Tonight I want to give you 5 transformations that salvation should bring about in our hearts.
Each of these will have ways that we grieve the Spirit and ways in which we please the Spirit.
Paul says its like putting off the old man, the old clothes and putting on the new clothes.
So that the Holy Spirit might feel at home living within us, and not grieved.
From Lying to Truhfulness
Ephesians
If you are brought up in a home where there was lots of lying, where there was covering for family sin and you had to lie for him or her, and you lied as a family, you’ll grow up wanting to hide and conceal, wanting to lie and tell lies, hopefully at some point it’ll stop.
But if you were brought up in a home where truth was important you may still become a liar.
You may lie because of self protection, you want to guard what youve done.
You want to look good and you dont want the truth to come out.
Or
Either way we have all been tempted to lie.
The Bible says that we should speak truth to one another, to our neighbors, to our friends, to our wives, and to our husbands.
Now its interesting that I saw an article the other day that said the average american tells 11 lies every week.
The apostle Paul says put all lies aside.
Dont lie to yourself, dont lie to others because in the end you are lying to GOd.
Remember Annanias and Saphirra?
They thought they were lying to the church and Peter comes along and said you’ve not lied to the church but to God.
Those little white lies you tell you’ve lied to God not to men.
Some of you are living a lie for whatever reason and God wants you to clean it up because the Spirit is a Spirit of truth and He is sensitive to it.
The HS brings it to the surface so we can deal with it.
It’s amazing what price people are willing to pay to protect themselves.
I mean think about it if we are willing to lie to God to protect ourselves then we are willing to stand in the face of a Holy God and lie to His face.
WOW.
So that her older
Well lets go to number two
I can tell you exactly how to stope lying if your trouble is habitual lying.
I mean you can stop in two weeks.
Every time you tell a lie I want you to stop right then and there and tell the person youre talking to I want you to know I just lied to you.
It’ll work.
Pretty soon the lies wont come out of your mouth.
From Anger to Self Control
Why?
Because the Holy Spirit of God enables us to control ourselves.
Be angry and do not sin
There is a legitimate anger.
We should be angry at child abuse at all of the injustice in the world.
There is such a thing as righteous anger, in fact God is angry with the wicked everyday we read in the OT but dont sin when you do.
don’t respond in a way you are going to regret.
Don sin, dont go to bed angry.
Dont become angry and give the devil an opportunity.
Let me say something to those who are abusers and no one knows it, you were verbally or physically abused and now your abusing.
You keep telling yourself you are not going to do it again, you need help, and you need accountability.
You need repentance if anybody is listening to this and you are verbally abusing your wife or children STOP IT, Get help because your not only lying to God your destroying a child, or a person.
So what he says is when angry do not sin.
Do not give Satan a opportunity.
Do not give Satan a place, you know what this is like.
You go to the door and there is someone out there that you dont wanna let in but they get their foot in the door, and now what are you going to do?
The devil loves to instigate to aggravate, to cause anger, why?
Because its so destructive.
You do things when your angry that you regret that you cannot undo.
Somebody says well I just blow up and get it over with oh yeah yeah and all the pieces lay there.
You might ask for forgiveness and it may be granted by the person you did that to but you do that too many times and it becomes hallow, and the anger is destructive and goes from one generation to another, a whole generation of angry children because of some angry parents.
Deal with that anger recognize it as sinful and the Holy Spirit will help you, the church will help you if you confide in someone, accountability will help you.
DO NOT SIN because the devil wants to use your anger to kill, to destroy and to wreck homes and marriages and churches.
Dont be a take but a giver
People steal today, they steal by suing anyone they can get their hands on, by taking what is not theirs even ideas.
People steal its amazing what even good people will do when big money is flashed in their face.
So what he is saying is do not steal but rather work with your hands.
