Promise Keepers ---"NOTES"--- Day Two Call to the Commission
The Holy Spirit
We can have "Rivers" of the Holy Spirit flowing through our bodies.
Acts 1:8 To be filled with that which you already have within you.
Jesus passed the mantle of ministry onto us. We shall receive power. The holy spirit is with us and shall be within us. We have a companionship with God, and he sees and hears everything we experience. The Holy Spirit will lead and direct us to create a passion for Jesus that is grater than the desires of Sin. Misery will dirve us back to God, because sin will seperate us from the presence of God.
How to Lead a Spiritual Life
Be witnesses at home - Be witnesses among your own family first. We will be involved in each others lives seeking the will of the Lord. God gives us "Shock and Awe," and we are to be followers of the Holy Spirit to receive that power. (Acts 2) People will know that we have found gold by the way that we act and react to one another.
How do we receive power?
1. Yielding - Yielding our physical and emotional selves, giving everything in our lives to God.
2. Feeding - Feeding our Spirit, through the word of God, and absorption, through interaction with other followers of God.
3. Weeding - Weeding sins out of our lives. Asking God to reveal our struggles, and then revealing them to others, which disallows Satan using the secret Sin and pervert our spirit. We should flee sin. We should be reconciled to every person.
4. Believing - Believing and having faith that we are following the will of God. As we recieved the forgiveness from the dying Christ, we receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not inus to be a resident, but to be our President.
If we allow the Holy Spirit to lead our lives, then we will develop habits of righteousness.
