July 11th/12th – The Journey: Holy Spirit

The Ministry Of The Holy Ghost (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8, 2:4, 2:38-39, 19:1-7)


EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, WITH SPEAKING IN TONGUES AS THE INITIAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.


Acts 19:1-7 (Paul baptizing (in the Holy Ghost) those who had already been baptized with water.)


Acts 2:4

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


DURING THIS AGE, HE INDWELLS, INSTRUCTS AND EMPOWERS THE BELIEVER FOR GODLY LIVING AND SERVICE.


Acts 1:8

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judaea, in Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth


THE HOLY GHOST IS A GIFT FROM THE FATHER.


Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


THE PRESENT DAY MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO COMFORT AND GUIDE THE BELIEVER.


John 14:16

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.


THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY GHOST

1- ALL SHOULD BE FILLED AND SPEAKING.

2- HE INSTRUCTS AND EMPOWERS US.

3- HE COMFORTS AND GUIDES US.


Spirit Filled & Regular Prayer Life


EVERY BORN AGAIN, SPIRIT-FILLED BELIEVER SHOULD MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT PRAYER LIFE BY PRAYING REGULARLY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING AND IN THEIR HEAVENLY LANGUAGE. (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12-14; 1 Cor. 1:30)


Heb. 12:14

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:


1 Thess. 5:23

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


2 Peter 3:18;

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen


2 Cor. 3:18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.


Phil. 3:12-14

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


1 Cor. 1:30

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
