Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit 

The Holy Spirit Comes 

On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. Acts 2:1-4 NLT 

1. The Spirit Gives Boldness. 

Acts 4:31NLT- After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness. 

● Peter moved from denial to fearless preaching. 

2. The Spirit Gives Special Abilities. 

1 Corinthians 12:7-11NLT- A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. 

● These Gifts are Divided into Three Categories: 

○ Ability to Know, Perceive and Discern. 

○ Ability to do Hard Things. 

○ Ability to Speak the Right Words at the Right Time. 

3. The Spirit Empowers Us to Serve Others. 

1 Peter 4:10NLT- God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 

● Gifts are for ministry, not personal glory. 

4. The Goal Is To Stay Full Of The Spirit. 

Ephesians 5:18-19NLT- Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts 

● Being filled with the Spirit is a continuous process.

● Ways to Remain Filled: 

○ Worship 

○ Prayer 

○ The Word 

○ Fellowship 

○ Obedience
