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 |
