GODS FULLNESS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
John 16: 5-8 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh
me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled
your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I
go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I
depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
John 14: 25-26 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
From beginning to end, Gods
work is done in the power of the Holy Spirit
This power is not some
impersonal energy in the universe.
The Holy Spirit is a person
in quality like Jesus
The life he imparts to you by
his dwelling in the Christ’s life
Jesus knew he was to be
crucified.
He knew his disciples could
only carry on his work effectively, if they had a deep relationship with
himself thru the Holy Spirit.
He told them that he would
send another comforter to take his place, when he returned to the father.
John 14: 11-12 11 Believe me
that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very
works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Jesus is not speaking about
an influence or a doctrine… Jesus did not worry about being politically correct he was speaking of one like
himself
A real person who would fill
their lives with his own presence and power.
When Jesus finished his work
on earth, then the Holy Spirit was sent in power upon his church, and all that
would receive him.
re-read John 14:12 12 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he
do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
For this reason, today as a Christian,
our privileges are greater than those of the disciples. We have radio, television,
cars, planes and computers help make it all possible.
The comforter has already
come, He is here now he lives and dwells in you now, if you have accepted Jesus
as your savior.
Some churches believe one
thing and some another, but it does not do away with the fact that God says, be
filled with the Holy Spirit.
People, I believe this is the
greatest need of the church of Jesus Christ today.
Everywhere you go, everywhere
you look, you will find that God’s people seem to be lacking something.
God’s people are hungry for
something. God’s people are thirsting for something.
I keep seeing among Christians
today a great need, and lack in their lives.
There is a feeling of
insecurity, and that in their lives being a feeling of being defeated.
The churches of today seem to
be powerless… why
If we have no power it’s
because we don’t have the Holy Spirit of God impowering us. We are lacking Gods
fullness in our lives
God says, be ye filled with
the Holy Spirit
Having that fullness of God,
the promise of God and the provision of God, led by the Holy Spirit will
complete the purpose that God has for your life…
