ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH AND HEART SO HE CAN SAVE YOU, MOLD YOU INTO A NEW CREATION. WILL YOU ACCEPT, WILL YOU SAY YES TODAY?
INTRODUCTION: TRANSFORMATIONAL LIVING: PRESENCE/PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!
2 Corinthians 3:17-
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20-
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
The Holy Spirit is called the Paraclete in the original Greek, which literally means “one called alongside to help.” He is here for us, and He wants to do amazing work in our lives (John 14:16–18). He wants to seal, guide, empower, and fill us. He is our company keeper, cloud covering, and our consuming fire. He is our counselor and truth bearer.
Old Testament testifies of the Holy Spirit
Genesis 1 -Spirit of God first mentioned. The Holy Spirit was present at the creation of the world, and he’s the power that’s working in every born-again believer right now!!!
Genesis 2- God breathed His Spirit into us and it gave us life/a living soul. God loves you that He is willing to put Himself on the inside of you. That's some powerful shouting and running for Jesus kind of stuff.
David wanted to build the Temple but because his hands were unclean, God allowed his son Solomon to build it and it was built with the best of the best of everything because it was God’s home on earth.
When you invite someone over to the house, you do some extra cleaning because you want that person to feel welcomed, relaxed, and at home. Well, I’m afraid that’s how we treat the Spirit of God, we only worry about our living holy and talking holy when certain people are around and when we need God, but God desires our lives and heart to be pure and clean because He dwells there all the time. He will never leave us but when we are not walking in the Spirit of God, we grieve Him and our lives are not as effective as they can be.
God’s Holy Spirit is in you and His Standard of Living is HOLINESS!
Y'all, Jesus shed blood is too priceless and precious and it is only because of His sacrifice that the Holy Spirit is able to dwell in us. This is serious stuff and I am so afraid that we don’t ponder enough on who is on the inside of us and how we should be living our lives
Read Chapters of 2 Chronicles 5-7: The Temple Prayer, a prayer we need should be praying because we are temples of GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT!
SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:
HEBREWS 2:4- 4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders, and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
