The Holy SpiritPart 1
Slide2Who Is the Holy Spirit?
Not a Glorified “it”
Not a Mere Influence
Not an impersonal and vague force
Slide3The Holy Spirit is a divine person like God and Christ
He speaks (1 Tim 4:1),
Teaches (John 14:26),
Guides (John 16:12-13),
He leads and forbids (Acts 16:6-7)
He can be grieved (Eph 4:30)
He can be despised (Heb 10:29)
He can be lied to (Acts 5:3)
He can be resisted (Acts 7:51)
Slide4He is Eternal (Heb 9:14)
He is omniscient (1Cor 2:10-11)
He is omnipresent (Ps 139:7,10)
Slide5There are three members of the Godhead
God, the Father
The Son
The Holy Spirit
Matt 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Slide6The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Christian
The Holy Spirit is the Source of the inspiration of scriptures.
2Peter 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God
as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
The word of God is the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17)
Slide7How do we get the Spirit?
Luke 11:13 ASK
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish,will give him a snake instead?
12
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Slide8Obey -
Acts 5:32
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the
Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him
.
Given because we are sons -
Gal 4:6
Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."
It does not make us Sons but given because we are sons
Slide9We become sons by faith and baptism
Gal 3:26-27
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
It is a gift promised to all Christians
Acts 2:38-39
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."
Slide10Why is the Holy Spirit important in my life?
Not a Christian w/o the Spirit
Romans 8:9
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you.
And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ
.
Slide11He is the Source of Renewal
Titus 3:4-6
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and
renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior
Slide12He strengthens us
Eph 3:16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being
He is able to more than we imagine
Eph 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do
immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us
,
21
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Slide13Helps us put away sin and confirms our Sonship
Romans 8:12-17 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if
by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body
, you will live,
14
because those who are
led by the Spirit of God are sons of God
. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the
Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
Slide14The Fruit of the Spirit
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious
: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that
those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God
.
But
the fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law
.
24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
Slide15The Gifts of the Spirit
1Cor 12:4-7,11
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
6
There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
7
Now to
each one
the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the
common good
. …
11
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to
each one
, just
as he determines.
Slide16Need the right attitude about Gifts
1 Corinthians 14:2So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.
16
Slide17Romans 12:4-8 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
17
Slide18The presence of the Holy Spirit should be an incentive to holiness
1Cor 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality
. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
19
Do you not know that
your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own
;
20
you were bought at a price. Therefore
honor God with your body
.
Slide19The Holy Spirit intercedes for us
Romans 8:26-27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for,
but the Spirit himself intercedes
for us with groans that words cannot express.
27
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
Slide20The Holy Spirit is a seal and a deposit
2 Cor 1:21-22
Now it is God who makes both us and you
stand firm in Christ
. He anointed us, set his
seal of ownership
on us (Eph 1:13 – the promised Holy Spirit), and put his Spirit in our hearts as
a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Slide21A seal was used for
1. Authenticity
2. Security
3. Mark of Ownership/possession
A deposit (earnest, pledge)
1. First installment
2. “Guaranteeing what is to come”
3. Guarantees God’s part – not ours
Slide22We have commands regarding the Holy Spirit
Do not grieve (sadden or offend) the Holy Spirit
Eph 4:30-32
And
do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God
, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Slide23Do not quench (suppress or stifle) the Spirit
1Thess 5:16-21
Be joyful always;
17
pray continually;
18
give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19
Do not put out the Spirit's fire
;
20
do not treat prophecies with contempt.
21
Test everything. Hold on to the good.
Slide24Keep in step with the Spirit
Gal 5:24-26
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
25
Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the Spirit
.
26
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Slide25Be filled with the Holy Spirit
Eph 5:18
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead,
be filled with the Spirit.
Slide26To be “filled with the Holy Spirit” is “
a purposeful act; a commitment to yield to the Spirit in every area of life
”
πληρω
plēroō
used often of the wind filling a sail to move a ship along. To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be moved along in our Christian life by God
Slide27The word was sometimes used of salt's permeating meat in order to flavor and preserve it. God wants His Holy Spirit to so permeate the lives of His children that everything they think, say, and do will reflect His divine presence
Slide28However
pleroo
was mainly used to get across the idea of total control. Whenever a gospel writer wanted to speak of someone who was dominated by his emotions, he used
pleroo
.
Slide29John l6:6--Jesus said, "Because I have said these things unto you,
sorrow hath filled your heart."
Luke 5:26--Luke said the people "were all amazed, and they glorified God, and
were filled with fear."
Luke 6:11--Luke said the Jewish leaders "
were filled with fury
, and discussed one with another what they might do to Jesus."
Slide30A person who is filled in this sense is no longer under his own control
but under the control of that which dominates him
.
The same thing is true in living the Christian life. To be filled with the Holy Spirit is not to have Him progressively added to our life, but
dominated by Him.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a prayer request. It is a command to be obeyed. And if God gives a command, then we have the ability to obey it.

We will start a 2 part discussion about the miraculous gifts of Holy Spirit
