God can give you encounters that no man can ever make you doubt!
He did it for Paul, Peter, Moses, and hopefully you.
God is a good God
God is a dramatic God
God is a emotional God
God creates unforgettable encounters
Every experience that brings you closer to God should be celebrated.
Experiences are never enoughThe encounter should bond you with the Holy Spirit.
Everything that comes our way in life is not from God!
➢ Sickness is not
➢ Depression is not
➢ Poverty is not
➢ A broken heart is not
➢ Rejection, shame, hatred, betrayal is not
Jesus loves you and has come to bring you blessings not curses!
When you walk with God, you’re not interested in promoting yourself! You have no need to be recognized.
Jesus lived before the father!
He did not live before man.
Names of the Holy Spirit
1. Comforter
God is a God of comfort
2 Corinthians 1:3,4
John 14:26
Sometimes, if you adjust your perspective slightly, it eliminates the pain in your heart
and disillusionment in your mind.
The Holy Spirit is just a whisper away!
His presence comes and settles our chaos!
John 13:33 “Where I’m going you cannot come.” Disciples were in a panic.
John 14:16 “I will ask the father and he will give you another helper.
Words:
➢ Another = another of the same kind, not a cheap substitute
➢ Helper = one called a alongside to help
Read John 14:26
John 7:37,38 “The Holy Spirit is the power supply of our lives!”
2. Helper
The issue is not how much of the Spirit we have, but how much He has of us.
“Be filled with the Spirit” - Be controlled by the Spirit.
Somebody has taken over the command center of your life.
Keep on being filled.
You have earned the right to participate in the process, but not the right to control it!
When someone becomes drunk on alcohol, he is under the influence of another power. That is not the Holy Spirit who is a helper!A drunk may think he is Pavarotti and start to sing.
What alcohol is to the body negatively, the Holy Spirit is to the new man positively.
1. The spirit of God can change your personality!
2. Don’t spend your time trying to change, spend time getting filled!
3. The new power of the spirit is fullness!
