Holy Spirit Notes
Holy Spirit
Notes

•    Three states of water—all different, but all the same.

•    The Holy Spirit is often neglected, the “little sister” of the trinity.

•    A spirit-filled life not a “deluxe model” of the Christian life, it is part of God’s total plan.

•    Nothing you have to beg and beat the door down for.

•    Do we (you) want to be possessed with a spirit other than your own? (Personality taken over by someone who will expect obedience to the written word and living word.  Self-love, self-confidence, self-righteousness, self-admiration, self-pity are not permitted)

•    The world killed Christ—it hates the holy spirit just as much—we want His benefits but do we want to leave the easy-going way of the world?

•    Prayer and the Holy Spirit

•    To pray in the spirit means to pray in accordance with the word of God.

•    Main object of prayer in the holy spirit is to glorify God, the blessing comes on the back stroke.

•    HS purpose is to glorify God.

•    HS helps shift center from self to Christ.

•    HS works in cooperation with men.

•    HS is a seal of us being in the kingdom.

•    HS is original, he gives gifts as he chooses.  Let him be unique with others as he has been with you.

•    Jesus was God in revelation, HS is God in action.

•    Resisting the Spirit: Thinking my way is better because we cannot understand what He is doing.

•    Grieving the Spirit: Actions of bitterness and hatred.

•    Quenching the Spirit: When the Spirit wants to say something and we say no
