John 14 verse their shout yes all right, Jesus said these words. If you love me, keep my commandments and I will pray the father and he shall give you a number comforter, that he may abide with you forever, even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him. But you know him, for he dwells with you and he shall be in you.
Verse 18 I will not leave you comfortless, but I will come to you, Lord, help me today Holy Spirit I'm talking about you nasty to speak through me to the hearts of your people, that they may have a revelation this morning of who you really are and what you're really doing in our lives and for that we praise you in Christ name a man you to be seated. Praise God. All glory to God. A man, the study of the Holy Spirit is one of the most fascinating studies in the word of God. Throughout history there has been much misunderstanding about who the Holy Spirit really is.
I want to examine the person the work and the ministry of the Holy Spirit will begin with this question. Who is the Holy Spirit is very important that we understand that he is a person. Now this misconception has been in church throughout centuries that God is manifested in three ways is incorrect. God is three distinct persons personalities one and 33 and one coequal: eternal and Bay agree 100% with one another. The personality of the father, the personality of the son and the personality of the Holy Spirit. From the standpoint of worship.
Many think of the Holy Spirit is merely an influence or force. I felt the Holy Spirit or he is a force that just maneuvers and touches and blesses, but that's incorrect. Also, he is a divine person. Everybody shout person and this robs the Holy Spirit of our worship to him. When you think about him as a person as the third person of the Godhead. We worship the father we worship the son Jesus, but we also worship and should worship the Holy Spirit. We should raise our hands as a father I magnify Jesus I glorify, but how about Holy Spirit I worship you as a person of the Godhead as God the father the son and the Holy Spirit because he is worthy of worship a man and he is the Holy Spirit everybody saving something to talk about the Holy SpiritHoly Spirit told me, Holy Spirit. You know I dislike the Holy Spirit.
Let's make a distinction there is the holy spirit. A man from a practical standpoint. Many think of how can I get more of the Holy Spirit and use it as a term I hear all the time like it's a power or force number one. He is not and it is a person he him he is a person, and many think, how can I get more of him and use him when the reality should be. How can the Holy Spirit did more than me. Don't say I want more of the Holy Spirit say Holy Spirit I want you to have more of me. And that's the angle we must take as the people of God from the standpoint of experience. He will change your life when you experience him you believe that one touch of the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit will transform a sin sick part into righteousness and godliness and make someone a new creation. One touch of the Holy Spirit can take someone who is sick in their body and make them well again.
You believe that one touch of the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit can break the chains of addiction off of a person's life. I still believe the day that God still sets men and women free. Yes, you may always be tempted. I'm not saying that, but I fully believe that you can walk and live in freedom, and it takes a touch of the Holy Spirit, God the third person of the triune God. He is a divine person I want to think about it like this, we think about the Trinity, God the father. He wills it. Jesus doesn't and the Holy Spirit manifested to get that God wills.
First Timothy 24 that all will be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. The Bible says that Jesus became sin who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ. He did it.
He paid for. He saved us at Calvary's cross with the shedding of his blood and were redeemed not with corruptible things such as silver and gold, but by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah Jesus did in the Holy Spirit manifest. Titus 35 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he has saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Ghost.
Did you hear what I said regeneration being born again comes by the holy ghost.
You need a rebirth in your marriage, don't you well. Here's how it will come by the holy ghost unit some problem solved on your job you went to the same filing cabinet one too many times and you'd think after a while this just does not work but by the holy ghost hallelujah you had problems, psychological, mental, emotional for most of your life. Try doctors or dried medicines you tried therapy drug counseling you tried. Shockwaves you tried this peel and that in this exercise.
When the Bible says it's not by might nor by power, by intellectual ability, but by my Spirit, the third person of the truck you God. God will Windows that you be set that you be healed and you know that Jesus did it. How did he do it well.
He took 39 stripes upon his back that you could be made whole.
You believe that, shall a man the Holy Ghost manifested. He quickens Romans eight verse 11. Our mortal body. That's what he does.
He is the one who manifests the power of God in our lives when we think about the glory of God. Pastors I was sitting earlier when you walk out here today and you see the trees waving back-and-forth the sun glistening in the beautiful sky backstop glory of God. But there's a difference between the glory of God and the anointing of God the glory of God is is on my presence but the anointing of God is manifested presence of the Holy Ghost, that doesn't always happen if I always walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Every time I hug my wife she would fall out of the power of God. But when he manifests.
That's when things began to happen.
That's when things are re-created.
That's when marriages are brought back together. That's when people's bodies are healed and made whole. That's when churches began to thrive when you come together and do what play but when you pray, expect a sound from heaven like a mighty rushing, moving, and that all hallelujah that will feel about house God.
I'm not talking about times and gifts. Today I'm talking about the third person of the triune Godhead because if you get the doctor and like everything else will follow. Not just the force is not just a feeling. Write this down God's presence is for fellowship God's power is for service. I know many people who are immature spiritual. They look for a feeling well.
I just didn't feel it today is what their and didn't feel right as the Pentecostals I get so bent on having an emotional experience when they go to church our member coming up in church and if the preacher got up in the pulpit. It was like the Holy Ghost did move it was like when we got event shout saying hopefully they'll play the right song so we can get excited in the Holy Ghost to move and we can feel something people get so bent out of shape on wanting to feel something that when they don't feel something. I think something is wrong, but he's more than a feeling. Believe me, I love to feel the anointing of the Spirit. I felt annoyed all morning until now.
I stood there not saying it was great, but I didn't really feel much of anything, you know. But when I didn't.
I began to preach the word. I feel his anointing come upon me, because the anointing of God comes upon you for reasons and for seasons that's the anointing of the Spirit. Hallelujah, the presence of God is the glory of God, the power of God as it is his anointing. That's the manifested presence of God.
God is everywhere.
The psalmist said if I made my bed and Harold there. Think about didn't escape the knowledge of God and the glory of God. But then there's the manifested presence and that's the anointing of the Spirit.
That's what I want about you not only in this church building in our gatherings, but I wanted in our homes. Your marriage is your relationship with your children, your your relationships with people on the job. What manifested presence of God came upon you in the break room and you pray for Billy to be healed and God touched that be wonderful. Guess what, that should happen, but it can't happen if you're walking in worldliness halfway committed to Christ you don't come to church, much less prayer meetings, and you're not full of the presence and power of God blows my mind. People want circumstances to change in their life and the one thing we should be doing the most we do the least. And that is pray. That's what the Holy Spirit is calling us to the presence of God is given that we may know him the power of God is given that others may know him to get that the presence of God is given that we may know him, but the power and the manifested anointing is given that others may know him. Come on in the Holy Spirit is the main personality in your life today. I will talk about some distinctive characteristics of his personality number one is knowledge.
He has a will. He has a mind he has feelings, and he is a person with me at first Corinthians chapter 2 turn their new Bible. First Corinthians chapter 2 and I will read a passage to you that many "and once you started. Many can finish it, but I very rarely hear anybody say the next verse which puts it all together and I want to help you today with diverse cribbage jumper to look verse nine but as it is written, I have not seen year has not heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men. The things which God has prepared for them that love him. Never heard that you go to that one.
But look at the next verse.
But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him. Even so the things of God knows no man, but the spirit of God, and now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God the Holy Spirit is the main personality in your life, and he desires to unveil and reveal things to you that you may not see spiritually that you may not see in his word. He's the one who unveils the states know your eye hasn't seen, no ear hasn't heard what God can do in your life personally what God can do in your marriage what God can do in your whole what God can do in your church.
What God can do in the community, but the Holy Spirit is the person who reveals it to us because he knows the mind of God hallelujah and he has knowledgeable event shout it has a will gives gifts to men. As he wills. Thirdly, he has a mind is an intellect. He has feelings of reasons for verse 30 grieve not the spirit of God. You can grieve him, did you know that you hurt his feelings.
Think about when he convicts your heart and your about to partake in something that you know he's telling you not to partake in an you do you know that grieves the Holy Spirit. When you go somewhere you shouldn't go do something you should do see something you should not see that grieves the Holy Spirit. Did you know that when you live a halfhearted committed life to Christ that grieves the Holy Spirit because he's constantly pulling you to Christ, on a man is a person Genesis 126, God said, let us make man in our image, our image, the father, son, and God Holy Ghost but try you God. God willed it to happen, let us make man.
Jesus did it. You want Scripture. I'm glad you asked.
Colossians 116 and 17 for by him were all things created things in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible throws, dominions, principalities and powers. All things were created by him and for him he was before all things, and by him all things consist.
The Holy Ghost manifest when he created man.
How the Bible says God breathed into his nostrils the breath the rule spirit into him and man became a living soul. Adam was deceived and sinned and disobeyed God, the second Adam came along and he lived a perfect life and now what happens is the Holy Spirit, verse Christ in you, and when you make the decision to say I will follow Jesus Christ and I will give him my life. The Holy Spirit that same rock that hovered on the deep waters and brought life to the earth again is the same spirit that brings life to a sitting trespassing. So I'm telling you it's the spirit of God. We are traits are hallelujah I'm telling you he can do it today.
He didn't do it today. I don't know about you but I am dying and thirsting for a Pentecostal revival not listed is not duping us but I truly genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit, God and I will pray I will fast. I will preach it happen. I believe too much of not telling you I have Holy Spirit is a person perform works say words, what does he do well one. He prays with a 26 when we know not want to pray for as we all the spirit helps our infirmities making intercession for us. God is your hands begin daughter. I just felt the Holy Spirit you know there are many here, many watching maybe or in circumstances. You have no idea what.
Maybe that you this morning but the Holy Spirit he wants to pray for you. He wants to help you pray, God help me get this across Lord help me to preach this like a Philip on my spirit because when you don't know how to pray, the one who searches and knows the mind of God can pray the perfect will of God for your life and that's not just in tongues is just part of it. You can pray in the Spirit and not say a word.
You know that because he helps you pray and get the mind of God of some of the Holy Spirit. You know, I have told the story many times I've got many occasions where when I made a decision to live like hail and walk in the world and the ways of the world idea. I did 100%. So many times I would be reminded somehow of what the presence of the Holy Spirit feels like I go to church at times that the court would be strict and you don't have to get out of there and make some excuse setting on a barstool sipping on gin and juice guy looks at me and he says man.
I had a dream about you want to strike talking about get out of here is Manuel preaching in front of a bunch of people's awareness that I think about that. The Holy Spirit loves you so much that he would follow you into a bar room speak through a drunkard to get your attention. That's how much the Holy Ghost loves you and he's brought you to God's house today and brought you in front of that camera and that screen that you're looking at to tell you that the third person wants to do exactly what he did in creation and re-created a dark earth. He wants to do what he did not Adam and bring life to him. He wants to do for you what he's done for billions throughout the ages and transform their life from darkness to light. He wants to do it for you, loves you that much is praying for you as a teacher.
John 1426 but the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost and the father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto now tell you something.
The word of God will not come to your remembrance if you never put it in nephew. They just sitting here listening to me, teaching and preaching that you're going to be able to remember it when you need it the most will not happen. You have got to make the decision on your all for when the time comes and you need his word and it will that you have it hiding in your heart that you might not sin against him nor grieve the third person of the Godhead comforter rated R texted John 1416 and what you see something you don't have it turned John 1416 and I will pray the father, now in the Greek language and seminary teacher Greek and Hebrew, and I know why they say it's all Greek to me. But when you began to learn the contents of the text I saw the snow that blew my mind. This is in the future tense when it says I will pray the father. Jesus words are in automatically. I began to think about. Hebrews 725 that says as the high priest he ever lives to make intercession for you and I you realize he still praying this prayer right now at the right hand of the father. I'm talking about the second person now I'm talking about Jesus. The physical manifestation of God the vision, the visible image of Almighty God the glory that was be held in flesh and blood fats Christ and he is still get this he is still a man. Did you know that he's still seated at the right hand of the father and the throne of glory as the son of God, and here's what he's doing. I want you to know that he is a prophet. He was a priest and he is a king but he doesn't live to be a prophet. He doesn't live to be a priest that he doesn't live to be a king but he ever lives to make intercession for you and I and this text is telling us that even the day as he told his disciples.
I will pray the father is telling you today. These telling me that I am praying for you and here's what is praying you ready that he shall give you a another comforter now integrate once again another means one like the same as it is Christ the Holy Ghost abides in me, when Jesus walked the earth.
It was God in Christ, and he anointed him with the Holy Spirit and he went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil now be ready to go take off. I don't care feeling good. I'm going for you ready he still praying that you receive one just like him comforter you realize these disciples were heartbroken because Jesus said I'm leaving too many days from now I'm going to see the Temple destroyed reason.
Again, it was all about. The temple is talking about leaving them managing heartbroken but he says I'm pray the father. The singe another comforter comforter degree disparately one who walks beside you and actually means one who locks arms with you so when you come to Christ and you give your heart to Jesus how many remember that day hole. Hallelujah. How many remember the day you gave your heart to Christ that you finally gave in to the call of the Holy Spirit. And if you haven't done that. I want you to do it today and you nail down and all of her by her bedside or stood or landline wherever you work and receive Christ as your Savior gave your life to him. Do you read member how you felt.
How that you became new life and everything began to look different. The grass was greener. The sky was blue are the future look brighter. You remember the day that he saved you and transformed your life to find out that it doesn't always remain that way you don't always have that feeling you get born again and then the car breaks washing machine rights gives leave the lights on your power bills hi pray for me. All these things begin to happen and here's what people do. You ready instead of running to God.
They run away from God. You know why because it's what's comfortable to you. Revert back to the flesh, but here's what the Bible says wall in the spirit that you may not fulfill the lusts of your flesh, and that's why Jesus is still praying today that we would get a another comforter.
I'm not talking about spirit baptism today. I'm talking about salvation. I'm talking about having the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit in your heart and in your life that way when you get into trouble. Jesus, yes he saved you the feeling left.
Yes, Jesus walked with the disciples and he left them, but he says I'm praying for you that you can receive this comforter, one just like me, and he will abide with you for a few months.
A few weeks help you through hard times. No. He said he will abide with you for ever and he will be with you and get this piece child be in you.I'm telling you, you have an abiding presence of 1/3 person of the triune Godhead. The is the main personality in your life. He deserves worship and is working in your heart and in your life to God how we need him today. Why do we need because he points people to Jesus shall show landed here I will talk about the Holy Spirit as an administrator. Think about this one. He convicts me of sin is doing at some of you right now.
You haven't realized till now you been a sinner, your whole life and unity. Christ some of your backslidden you need to come back like the prodigal son you been eaten in the pig into low commodity alcove hit the church but it is people who were faithful in gaining momentum layout a while and well it is known, is because the enemy has crept in their and you revert back to the flesh.
That's always the temptation. That's why it has to die every Sunday. No every day.
That's why Paul said, I die daily dying to yourself, that he may live a convicts of sin, number two. He calls ministers apostle Paul when he was talking to the Ephesian elders in acts 20 verse 28, he said, taking therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost who the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God the Holy Ghost put me where I am right now the Holy Ghost put you where you are right now the Holy Ghost put you where you are right now you hear me today.
He's the one who calls.
He's the one who equips and he's the one who manifests the fruit Holy Ghost and I want you to get today because I want you to know that there is a God and he is the God of our lives as Christians Elohim is his name which is floral, many more than 2123] 11 of Rick we have Christ to live the rest died resurrected for us and he still with us in the person of the Holy Ghost. That's why you have to nurture that inward anointing grieve not the Spirit don't quench the Holy Spirit.
You know how you quench the spirit we thought we talk about quenching the Spirit we think about a church service like this things being in a planned dry none on quenching the spirit is when you quit said something else or by the but when you quit and you give up.
That's when you quench the spirit because you hinder his ability to work in your life is a gentleman, it will abide with you for a while but if you reject him. He'll go away. That happened. Thirdly, he offers the word of God. Second Timothy 316 all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, that means it's God breathed there it is again the breath of God's demise grace of God is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, as a man or woman of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished second 120.
The word of God came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by their imagination. They were moved by the culture in which they lived and they wanted to write some good literature to be passed out pages they were moved by the Holy Spirit: read telling you this is not just a book is not just letter and paper Jesus said my words are spirit and inspires worship.
Jesus told the woman at whale I'm seeking. Those who worship me in spirit and in truth, you know facts they change to know that facts change, but the truth remains the site. The news will give you facts. At times, but then those facts didn't change nothing medical science changes the facts change. This is about 30 years ago. Now this is a fact because it's changed, but the truth is always always the same archer glad for that. All right for previous 12/7 is but the manifestation of the gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit with all the keywords there is manifestation.
What is that that's what I've been teaching you this morning, the third person the Holy Ghost God wills it.
Jesus did it, and the Holy Spirit manifest he brings it to life. He makes it a reality is what he wants to do for you today. If you're watching online and you want to give your heart to Christ. It simply a matter of decision believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, if you do that by faith right now to simply say yes to Christ the Savior transformed
