Join our Pastor Ray as he shares the dynamic power of The Holy Spirit
Welcome to Number 2 of The Holy Spirit sessions
Last week we were introduced to the Holy Spirit and we saw the following:
Who is the Holy Spirit? – The Holy Spirit is a member of the Godly Trinity
How are we made up? – Human kind is made up of Body, Soul, and Spirit
The Holy Spirit: our promise of help – Jesus said He had to leave the earth in order for the Holy Spirit to come to us
He convicts us of sin and God’s forgiveness – The Holy Spirit will be our teacher
Sight is not enough; we must enter – The Holy Spirit will convince us of our sinful condition and need for change
How does this happen? – We need to have revelation that our old sinful nature has gone and daily be led by the Holy Spirit
He gives us gifts – The Holy Spirit is a gift from God and He himself brings gifts to us – the fruit of the Spirit (singular) and gifts of the spirit (plural)
How many gifts can I have? – We can use as many of the gifts as we desire
What will hinder my use of the gifts? – Unforgiveness, being afraid and unbelief will hinder our use of the gifts
This week, we will go a bit deeper and explore when it is that we receive the Holy Spirit, as well as answer some questions that may have concerned us about the Holy Spirit in the past.
