MEMORY VERSE:
John 14:15-17
15 If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help
you and be with you forever 17 the Spirit of truth.The
world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor
knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will
be in you.
A) KEY SCRIPTURES
John 14:12, 1527
12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the
works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things
than these, because I am going to the Father.
15 If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the
Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and
be with you forever 17 the Spirit of truth.The world cannot
accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But
you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you.
Acts 1:48
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them
this command: Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my
Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For
John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you will be
baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, Lord, are you at
this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 He said to them: It is not for you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
ends of the earth.
John 16:515
5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks
me, Where are you going? 6 Rather, you are filled with grief
because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is
for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the
Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to
you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the
wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin,
because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,
because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no
longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this
world now stands condemned.
12 I have much more to say to you, more than you can now
bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide
you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will
speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to
come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will
receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to
the Father is mine.That is why I said the Spirit will receive
from me what he will make known to you.
1 Corinthians 2:916
9 However, as it is written:
What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived[a]
the things God has prepared for those who love him
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11
For who knows a persons thoughts except their own spirit
within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of
God except the Spirit of God.
12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the
Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has
freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us
by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining
spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[b] 14 The person
without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the
Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot
understand them because they are discerned only through the
Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all
things, but such a person is not subject to merely human
judgments, 16 for,
Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?[c]
But we have the mind of Christ.
B) INTRODUCTION
The Holy Spirit is not a vague influence
or mystic idea, He is a person.
He can communicate and make Himself
real to us. We cannot necessarily see
Him, but He can make a great
impression on our lives through our
inner being.
It is the ability to
communicate with God, spirit to
Spirit, which edifies you, i.e. builds
you up and strengthens your
own spirit (1 Corinthians
14:2,4,& 14).
It is the gift of a language that
is personally yours which you
have never learned (Acts 2:4,7 &
8).
It is an aid to praying in line
with the will of God (Romans
8:2627).
