Serving People, Inspiring Righteousness, Imparting Truth
In this session, Jeribai shares how you are uniquely designed to be a home for God the Holy Spirit to dwell in. Hear how Jesus himself revealed the Holy Spirit to his disciples and to each and everyone of his believers today.
Session 1 Outline: The Holy Spirit Revealed
You were handcrafted by God to be a DWELLING place for the Holy Spirit!
1 Corinthians 3:16 – Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells within you.
1 Corinthians 6:19 – [AMP] – Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own.
Think about that… GOD created you, He gave you a unique personality with talents and abilities and then through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ… God gave you a NEW SPIRIT and with that New Spirit He’s given you the incredible ability to now be a dwelling place, a home, a personal residence for God Almighty!!
See, God always intended to be WITH you and the closest and deepest way to be with you is to be IN you!
Jesus speaks directly to us about this and reveals to us the plan of God in…
John 14:15-17
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He (the Father) will give you ANOTHER Helper, to be with you forever, 17 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 in you.“
There again out of the mouth our risen savior – Jesus speaks to us about a promise from God the Father…
In Luke 24:49 – Jesus speaks again and says:
“And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
And Lastly in John 16:5-7 Jesus speaks to us yet again as He describes His departure from earth with His disciples… He says…
5 “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going? 6 But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart. 7 But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”
Jesus continually reveals the Holy Spirit, His names, His purpose and His ministry. One of the most incredible details Jesus reveals about the Holy Spirit is that HE IS A PERSON!
In our next session we’re going to dive into the Personality and Purpose of the Holy Spirit and how God the Holy Spirit empowers you to be all of who God has made you to be and to do all of what God has called you to do!
