Encourage people to be baptized.
June 30
During the next 4 weeks, we will learn who the HS is from the WOG.
Irene Adkins was at home when there was a knock at the door.
A cautious peep through the peephole revealed a familiar face.
As she opened the door, she was confident that she recognized the face… it bore an uncanny resemblance to her own face.
Irene’s 73 year old brother, Terry, had come for a surprise visit.
It was a surprise because Irene did not know she had a bother.
Back in 1932, during the Great Depression, a desperate couple unhitched a camper with three hungry children in it and drove away.
Police found the camper with the children and rescued them.
They were all placed in different foster homes by an agency.
None of them knew of the others.
Irene was the youngest.
The young couple eventually got their lives together and had a son.
The eventually revealed their horrible secret to him.
As a young man, Terry, set out to find his siblings that were lost.
Finally, after 60 years of searching, he learned the name of the agency who placed them.
Not long after that, on April 3, 2010, he knocked on the door and Irene Adkins discovered the brother she never knew she had.
And with that she found the source of answers to questions she had carried throughout her life.
Many of you may know how she felt.
You have spent years struggling to live the Christian life… then like me, maybe you discovered the HS … the God you never really knew.
If you are like most people, you have been misinformed about the HS to some degree.
He is the third person of the trinity.
Unfortunately, most believers are like Irene Adkins was most of her life… totally unaware of a loving person who desperately wanted to know her.
Too many people have resigned themselves to living defeated lives in their battles with temptation as they stumble through life.
The dynamic, full life Jesus promised to believers is a natural outgrowth of intimate friendship with God the Holy Spirit.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is a person.
KJV - Holy Ghost
NIV - Holy Spirit
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a ghost.
He is a person.
It’s important to relate to HS as a person so we can have a personal relationship with him.
Parakletos - helper, advocate, Para - alongside (parabola - parable) Kletos - comforter
Jesus refers to Him… not it.
Maybe God should have named him Boudreaux or Bill… HS is his descriptive name.
His real name is God.
Holy Spirit is not weird.
I know some people are weird and they attribute it to the HS.
Listen, they are just weird without the HS.
Two extremes - no make up and too much makeup.
We think that if we have the HS, we will be ugly.
That’s just not true.
Satan has caused the church to focus on one of the Spiritual gifts that he gives more than on the gift of the Spirit.
Tongues - some believe they ended with disciples… others don’t.
Speaking in Tongues - “This is the special ability to:
a) speak to God in a language one has never learned (private tongues), or
Privat Tongues - Prayer Language -
b) receive and communicate an immediate message of God to His people through a divinely-anointed utterance in a language one has never learned (public tongues).
Jesus on the other hand… wants you and I to be filled with the HS.
Evidences of being filled with Holy Spirit.
1. Power (Acts 1:8)
2. Love (1 CO 13)
1 CO 13 is placed in between 2 chapters on spiritual gifts for a reason.
12 discusses the use of the gifts and 14 discusses the abuses of the gifts and in between, Paul says if you don’t have a genuine love for people, you are just a noisy cymbal.
3. Fruit (Gal 5:22-23)
4. Gifts (1 CO 12:7)
Jesus said, it’s actually better for us if he left.
Holy Spirit is God.
We know God the Father… Jesus the Son.
HS is off over here by himself.
He is God.
3rd person in the trinity.
They are all - God.
another… just like Jesus.
Example…
HS is God.
We need to understand that and stop ignoring him.
There are people who will tell you not to come here because we talk about the HS… Let me rephrase…
There are people will tell you not to come here because we talk about God.
HS is as much a part of the Godhead as Jesus and the Father.
Holy Spirit is my Best Friend.
I want him to be your best friend too.
So many people are afraid of the HS.
Who do you think makes us afraid of HS?
The devil! Why?
Because he wants you to live defeated lives.
Amazing Grace - Relationship with Jesus - You got something you did not deserve.
Jesus paid your bill.
Then we can have a relationship with the Father.
He love is extravagant… it’s over the top because he died for you.
Intimate friendship of HS - he wants a close intimate friendship… BFF
What the Holy Spirit does for me?
This is where it gets crazy… buns, dresses, no make up…
Jesus gives us 5 things that HS will do.
JN 13 is when Jesus washed his disciples feet and had the last supper.
Between the last supper and the Garden, he teaches them about the HS… 3 chapters on HS right before he died and that makes it important.
1.
He will be with me.
He wants to be close to you… with you.
Advocate - Parakalateos - someone who is called alongside you.
ILL - you pick up a log and someone else picks up the other end… parakaletos
Advocate, Comforter, counselor…
Joke about comforter… you don’t use it, it’s for looks… I have a lot fo stuff that’s for looks and not for use.
How many of us, have a comforter for looks and not for use.
We like him in the songs, but not for use.
He is the only one called to be with you.
Jesus and Father in heaven.
2.
He will reveal the Bible to me.
HS reveals it to you.
