THE HOLY SPIRIT

2 Pet 1:2-3 (NIV)

2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD and of Jesus our Lord.

3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness THROUGH OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIM who called us by his own glory and goodness.

What is He

John 14:16-18 (KJV)

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (CCHIASS), that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

What does He do ?

John 16:12-14 (KJV)

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for HE SHALL RECEIVE OF MINE, AND SHALL SHEW IT UNTO YOU.

How do you (I) get the Holy Spirit (Him) ?

Luke 3:16 (KJV)

16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST and with fire:

Acts 10:44-48 (KJV)

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

What happens to me when I am baptized with the Holy Spirit ?

Acts 1:8 (KJV)

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

The gifts (given) of the Holy Spirit begin to show up in you :)

1 Cor 12:4-11 (NIV)

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.

6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

8 To one there is given through the Spirit #1.) the message of WISDOM, to another #2.) the message of KNOWLEDGE by means of the same Spirit,

9 to another #3.) FAITH by the same Spirit, to another #4.)GIFTS OF HEALING by that one Spirit,

10 to another #5.) MIRACULOUS POWERS, to another #6.) PROPHECY, to another #7.) DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN SPIRITS, to another #8.) SPEAKING IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES, and to still another the #9.) INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES.

11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
