T H.S. is a person, in this V we see Jesus call him "He". He has feelings, (touched) He can be grieved, He has His own character & he can be quenched.
I. That word "quenched" is interesting.
A. I remember Kenneth Hagin saying that when something happens in a service that t H.S. did not inspire, weather it something completely wrong or even if it's a scripture being read or a prophesy spoken at t wrong time, T H.S. will be quenched.
1. I've seen that happen here & just about every church I've been in.
a. There are times that we might be truly worshiping t Lord, w/ our focus & our attention on Him. Then someone speaks up w/ a PROPHESY, which is not for t whole body but for you personally.
b. Kenneth Hagin says it's like throwing a bucket of cold water on t service.
i. One of t definitions of t word "Quenched" is "to cool suddenly by plunging into water"
ii. When we're truly in worship & someone speaks out of turn, it feels like someone just through a bucket of water on you.
2. When we get into t Lord's presents, t Lord is speaking to us where we can hear Him much clearer.
a. That's why we get so many prophesies during worship or a time where we are just quite before t Lord.
b. You're hearing what t Lord has for you.
i. I must say this that during a time of truly worshiping t Lord most prophesies that have been given was not something that should have been given out at that time.
ii. EXAMPLE: If I was up here preaching t Word that
t H.S. gave me & anointed by t H.S., if someone stood up & started giving a prophesy, would that be t right timing? NO!_
iii. WHY? 1CO 14:33 T H.S. is not confused nor is He t author of confusion. If t H.S. anointed me to preach then He wouldn't
interrupt Himself.
c. T same thing is true if t H.S. leads us into worship,
He's not normally going to interrupt what He's doing w/ a prophesy.
i. He usually will have a prophesy come forth during t praise, before or after t worship, or before or after t Word going forth. 1CO 14:27
ii. T H.S. is very much a gentlemen.
B. T H.S. can also be resisted & He can comfort.
1. T desire of t H.S. is to be dwelling in every believer as comforter, counselor, advocate, intercessor, strengthener, helper, & standby.
2. T H.S. will not speak of Himself, but only what He hears, & He will show t believer things to come & will glorify t name of Jesus.
II. Let's look at some of His characteristics.
A. 1COR 2:10‑11
1. In this V we see that t H.S. has intelligences because He knows t things of God.
a. To know t things of God also means that He has revelation knowledge.
2. But in this V we also see t importance of t H.S. in our lives.
a. It says in (V 11), "The things of God knoweth no man".
b. T natural man cannot understand t things of God.
c. T only one that can understand t things of God is t Spirit of God.
i. Thank God that we have t Spirit of God in us.
ii. Now God hath revealed {them} unto us by his Spirit.
B. Eph 4:30
1. This V says that t H.S. can be grieved.
a. T word "grieved" means "to distress; to be sad: ‑ cause grief, grieve, be in heaviness, (be) sorrow (‑ful), be (make) sorry."
2. This is telling us that t H.S. has feelings, & it's possible for us to grieve Him.
C. 1COR 12:11
1. In this V it shows us a few things, 1st it's talking about t Gifts of t Spirit.
a. T H.S. is t one who preforms t Gifts.
b. I think we all want to see more of t gifts of t Spirit. But for us to see more gifts then we have to see t H.S. begin to
move in a greater way.
i. That takes prayer & holiness of t believers.
2. Another interesting point that this V brings out is that t
H.S. has a will.
a. Again (1CO 12:11) says that t H.S. divides t gifts as
He wills.
b. Showing that His will is involved. III. MAR 12:36
A. Jesus is speaking here of t Christ & what David said about Him.
1. But t thing that I wanted you to see is that T H.S. gave David t words to speak.
2. MAR 13:11
a. When in need or when your witnessing to someone t HS will give you t words to speak.
b. But that doesn't mean that we don't need to study t Word.
i. (2TI 2:15) Says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (KJV)
ii. JOH 14:26
iii. For t H.S. to bring something back to your remembrance, you 1st have to put it in.
