Spirit

To know and understand through the revelation of the Spirit of God, the eternal oneness of Jesus the "Son", Jesus the "Father", and Jesus the "Holy Spirit". That He was and is before all things and that by him "all things consist". That Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily and without controversy great is that mystery of Godliness. Even though man in his finite thinking gradually gravitated away from the leading of the Holy Spirit through the centuries, God has still through Jesus Christ…

I. The Personhood of the Holy Spirit a. I believe that the Holy Spirit possesses personhood. The Holy Spirit has intelligence, emotions, and will. I believe the Holy Spirit is an “it” and is not a “force.” The Holy Spirit has intellect and knowledge like God, Isaiah 11:2 “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.” II. The Deity of the Holy Spirit a. I believe the Holy Spirit is fully divine and is a part of the…

Christ today, just as the disciples needed the power of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, so we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit for our effective witness for Jesus. Just as Jesus Christ went about his ministry by the power of the Holy Spirit, it was by the same Spirit that was given…

the discussion over the beliefs Christians have about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who takes everything God has for us and brings it to us. In the Bible, we find that there are five truths about God which are known as there is one God, the Father is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons (UCF Class Discussion, 11/10/16). The Holy Spirit frees us from sin, along with helping us understand what God…

“The Holy Spirit work within you, that being born through water and the Spirit, you may be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. Amen.” This is the liturgy used by United Methodist Clergy when a human being of any age is baptized into the kingdom of God. The methods of invoking the Holy Spirit may be the choice of sprinkling, pouring or immersion. All three methods are acceptable in the United Methodist denomination. The “Baptismal Covenant is a Holy Baptism, by which we are incorporated…

The Holy Spirit is the most active and prevalent person of the Godhead in our daily lives (Smith, Importance). As believers, understanding the work of the Holy Spirit is important. “A Christian is one who has received Jesus Christ; a Christian is one who displays Christ living through his life, and this is accomplished by the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit” (Ryrie 9). As Christians, we can know the Spirit’s presence by witnessing it in our own lives (Swindoll 258). In my life, His presence…

Francis Chan once wrote, “The Spirit will lead you to the way of the cross, as He led Jesus to the cross, and that is definitely not a safe, pretty, or comfortable place to be.” Rees Howells continually experienced this throughout his life. Rees, who is known for his life of intercession, grew up in Brynamman, Wales, and later moved to America to pursue wealth. While in America, he gave his life to Jesus. When he returned home to Wales, he started to work as a coal miner. The Welsh Revival…

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are special abilities provided by the Holy Spirit to Christians for the purpose of building up the Body of Christ. In my opinion, the Holy Spirit is a tree and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the leaves. The branches connect each leaf, somehow relating to the other. A family starts off with the grandparents; they also known as wisdom and knowledge. After the grandparents, the parents come next- understanding and right judgment. After the parents, the children -…

He was Powerful and Above All, or So He Thought. The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende, introduce us with characters too fantastic, or too realistic and bring us to the world of magical realism. Throughout the story a reader encounters many of these characters and is wrapped in the story which enables them to see the development of major round characters, such as Esteban Trueba. He is a character that with a few chapters into the book is seen as the evil protagonist. Esteban develops…
