God Wants Us to be Filled with Holy Spirit (part 1)

Last week we looked at the fact that God wants us to SERVE Him. As we will continue to build upon ouprevious discussions; we have found that Christ is the cornerstone of everything we do as Christian. W

found that without love it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God, therefore the first ingredients to finding the WIL

of God in our lives are 1) to have a relationship with Christ, and 2) to genuinely Love God.. In loving God w

will love people.

We found that our expression of Love toward God as gratitude for saving us is worship and obeying Hi

Word, following the example of Christ in love toward our fellow brothers in Christ and those wh

desperately need Christ.

This week, we will look at being filled with Holy Spirit. We will take a look at WHO exactly Holy Spirit

and how he interacts with men.

The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force. He is a person; the 3rdperson of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit i

affected by our actions and attitudes. He can be grieved, lied to, resisted, insulted, etc.

[Act 5:1-3 ESV] 1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and with h

wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at th

apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to kee

back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?

[Act 7:51 ESV] 51 "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spiri

As your fathers did, so do you.

[Eph 4:30 ESV] 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day oredemption.

[1Th 5:19 ESV] 19 Do not quench the Spirit.

[Hbr 10:29 ESV] 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trample

underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and ha

outraged the Spirit of grace?

The Holy Spirit possesses the attributes of God because He is God. He has the same nature of God, the sam

essence of God and the same substance of God. He is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, hol

and creator.

[Psa 139:7-10 ESV] 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascen

to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning an

dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hol

me.

[Luk 1:35 ESV] 35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Mos

High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy--the Son of God.

[Jhn 14:26 ESV] 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you a

things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

[Jhn 16:12-13 ESV] 12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When th

Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, bu

whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

[Hbr 9:14 ESV] 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himse

without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

[Rom 1:4 ESV] 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by hi

resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

[Job 33:4 ESV] 4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

[Psa 104:30 ESV] 30 When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.

The Holy Spirit is God and, at the same time is His own distinct person thus is the nature of the Trinity. On

God/3 distinct persons.

[Act 5:3-4 ESV] 3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to kee

back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? An

after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? Yo

have not lied to man but to God."

[Mat 28:19 ESV] 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Fathe

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

[Luk 3:21-22 ESV] 21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and wa

praying, the heavens were opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and

voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."

Before we were Christians the Holy Spirit was with us, convicting us of sin and drawing us to Christ. Whe

we become Christians, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in us.

[Jhn 16:8 ESV] 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness an

judgment:

[Jhn 14:16-17 ESV] 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be withyou forever, 1

even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know

him, for he dwells with you and will be inyou.

[Jhn 20:22 ESV] 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

[1Cr 3:16 ESV] 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells inyou?

[Act 1:8 ESV] 8 But you will receive powerwhen the Holy Spirit has come uponyou, and you will be my

witnessesin Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

The Holy Spirit is given to us by the Father and is to be a helper, a guide and an equiper. The Gree

language describes our experience with the Holy Spirit in three ways: PARA, EN, and EPI.

Before we gave our lives to the Lord, we experienced the Holy Spirit para us or WITH us. Even though w

did not know the Lord, the Holy Spirit was with us, convicting us of sin and drawing us to Jesus as we wer

exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

When we become Christians and were born in to the Kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells i

us. En in the Greek means in. Holy Spirit leads, guides, and comforts us. He illuminates scripture and is

He that groans in prayer to God when we don t know what to pray. Adrian Rogers said that when Hol

Spirit comes in us, we get a new wanter. Meaning that our wants and desires become that of the new

spirit man living EN us.

The third way in which we experience the Holy Spirit is EPI, which means UPON and it is this experiencthat we refer to as the the baptism of the Holy Spirit. When we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, the Hol

Spirit comes upon us, empowering us for ministry. It is this EPI experience (enabled by Gods GRACE) tha

makes the ministerial FRUIT possible.
