Introduction -
Good morning!
Today we begin a series on the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of LIFE!
Each week we will start the series off with a short testimony of the work of the Spirit in the life of one of our own.
Today my wife Callie is going to share a quick testimony of power of healing from the Spirit.

Over the next few weeks we will be talking about -
The Holy Spirit in the ministry of Jesus
Unity through the Spirit of God-
Pentecost - The power and presence of the Holy Spirit - He is in us not just on us.
The greatest gift to the Church - Spiritual gifts and the equipping of ministry
The Spirit empowerment to live in freedom -
The Spiritual Power to live in service to others -
The power over chaos and death through the Holy Spirit - Gifts of the Spirit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But today we begin by looking at the dominate character of the Spirit of God - Life Giver!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October is my favorite month to talk about the Holy Spirit.
During this month we often think of evil spirits, ghosts, and death.
This month is often used to celebrate death through what has become a comical ritual.
But I want to use this month to talk to you about the Spirit of Life.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit gets a bad rap.
People get spooked that any mention of the Spirit means weird things are about to happen.
What we often think of normal is actually the acceptance of death.
(Simon and Cathy Rodriguez’ baby born dead./
called in to pray/ weird but I pronounced life not death/ looked like a fool/ until the baby girl came alive/
What at first may have seemed weird to the doctors became evidence of the Spirit of Life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Spirit of God is the Life Giver and Life Sustainer.
Alton Garrison said it this way.
The Hebrew word for Spirit is Ruah - It means spirit, breath, or wind.
“The Holy Spirit does not make anyone weird, if they are weird they were weird before the Holy Spirit.”
The Spirit of God or the breath of God that carries His word was hovering over the chaos and the emptiness, the barrenness of new creation.
From the start we see the Spirit of God manifesting God’s words of Life.
The word breath here is the same word Ruah - Spirit.
God breathed his Spirit of life into the lungs of his creation.
Humanity could not live, think or be animated in any way if it were not for the Spirit of Life.
Job 34
Every creature is animated by the Spirit of God.
What we call life is the result of the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of God Desires To Bring Order To Your Chaos and Life to Your Death.
Allow me to share 5 Ways the Spirit of Life Desires Bring Order and Life to Us.
He desires to free you from sin that leads to death.
The Spirit never condemns us, he will convict us but he will never condemn us.
The Spirit desires to gently lead us from death and chaos
(X-con stuck in broom closet/ nurse getting naked/ save me God/ Open the door and run dummy.
)
If you will listen the Spirit will always show you the way out of sin and into Life.
This is not a law leading us but rather the person of the Spirit in us.
This is not a law code written down - No the Spirit is God dwelling in His people.
Wherever you go, he is with you, in you, guiding you, if you will listen.
2.
He desires to bring Peace and Healing to Your Mind.
Romans 8:
Porn, drugs, alcohol, hatred, unforgivness , all these lead to death and are fought in our minds.
Paul reminds us that it is the Spirit of God who brings peace and life to our minds.
The Holy Spirit gives us power to resist and power to control our minds.
It is futile to assume we can do this on our own.
It is only by the Spirit not our strength.
3.
He desires to bring Life and Healing to your bodies..
Romans 8:
Is healing for today?
If God is the same yesterday and today then Yes!
If the Spirit raised Jesus from the Dead, will you trust Him to bring life to your bodies?
The Holy Spirit desires to Heal you, your womb, your mind, your heart, your body.
He is the Spirit of Life.
4.
He desires to affirm that you are a child of God.
Some of you come from rough homes, absent or abusive fathers.
:
Through the Holy Spirit God desires to father you in love and kindness.
It is the Spirit in us that gives us the confidence that we are children of God.
As children we are promised that through the Spirit we will one day be made into the Image of God.
The Holy Spirit leads us out of fear and into power, love and self-control.
Do you want religion and fear or do you want the Spirit and freedom?
5.
He desires to bring power and life to your prayers.
Romans 8:26-27
I love this, when we do not know what to pray the Spirit prays for us.
He is God and therefore knows the mind of God
He knows the will of God for us and prays through us in the Father’s Will.
Groaning - Tongues/ crying/ Groaning.
Weird?
Yea if you choose not to follow Paul’s directions -
But when done properly there is life, knowing that the Spirit of God is praying for you and through you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no reason to fear the Holy Spirit.
He does not make you weird, he is not scary.
He is the Spirit of LIFE
He desires to free you from sin and death.
He desires to bring peace to your mind.
He desires to bring life and healing to your bodies
He desires to affirm you as a child of God.
He desires to bring power and life to your prayers.
He is the Spirit of Life.
