The Normal Christian Life

The Holy Spirit



• We saw it is the eternal purpose of God to bring manysons into glory-

• “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower thanthe angels, for the suffering of death crowned with

glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, mighttaste death for everyone.For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things andby whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory,to make the captain of their salvation perfect through

sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those whoare being sanctified are all of one, for which reason Heis not ashamed to call them brethren,” Heb.2:9-11



• He took what you had—so you could take whatHe had!

• He was born of Holy Spirit—”do not be afraid to

take to you Mary your wife, for that which isconceived in her is of the Holy Spirit” Mt1:20

• You were born of the Spirit-”The wind blows

where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but

cannot tell where it comes from and where itgoes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Jn.3:8



• It is IMPERATIVE that we KNOW and LIVE our liveswith the personal presence and ministry of the

Holy Spirit!

•“because the love of God has been poured out inour hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given tous.” Ro.5:5

• But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if

indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is

not His. Ro.8:9



• The ministry of the Holy Spirit is two-fold:

• Outward—manifestations of power

• Inward—indwelling PERSON of the Holy Spirit38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture hassaid, out of his heart will flow rivers of living

water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the

Spirit, whom those believing[a]

in Him wouldreceive; for the Holy[b] Spirit was not yet given,

because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jn.7



•13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has

come, He will guide you into all truth; for He

will not speak on His own authority, but

whatever He hears He will speak; and He will

tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me,

for He will take of what is Mine and declare it

to you. 15 All things that the Father has areMine. Therefore I said that He will take of

Mine and declare it to you



• Important Truths in this verse:

• The Holy Spirit will always bring you to the

TRUTH—this is not just correct doctrine but

truth as REALITY, and this reality is a Person

• The Holy Spirit will always glorify Jesus and

make sure He is being lifted up

• The Holy Spirit will DECLARE what is “of” God-

Declare carries the idea of putting it on display



• What is God putting on display? Jesus

• Whom has He chosen to be the vessels? US!

• “For it is the God who commanded light to

shine out of darkness, who has shone in ourhearts to give the light of the knowledge of

the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,that the excellence of the power may be of

God and not of us.” 2 Cor.4:6-7



• God has no problem showing His strengththrough our weakness but cannot nor will Hemove beyond our “controversies”

• Or do you not know that your body is thetemple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom

you have from God, and you are not yourown? For you were bought at a price;therefore glorify God in your body[a] and in

your spirit, which are God’s 1 Cor.6:19-20
