H.S. Unifies + How H.S. works?

H.S. in O.T.& N.T.

O.T N.T
Come down to a leader To all believers or a prophet Temporal, Permanent, leave afterwards here to stay.

The Bible introduces the H.S

1. Through the prophecy.
2. Fulfillment.

3. Continue to develop.

Through the prophecy

Joel 2:28-32: And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

Effect
That all believers will receive the same spirit, Moved and led by the same spirit.

Fulfillment.

Acts 2:1-4

Effect
1. H.S. created a new community, the Church. (A new creation the new

Kingdom with her own people, language and territory) 2. All point at one thing Unity. 3. Manifestation: Acts 2:44-47.

Continue to develop
2.Cor. 13-14 fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
Phil.2:1-2

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

Continue to develop
Paul talks about unity in 1 Corinthians 12. The church is united by the H.S. because 1. Body parts interdependent. (1 Cor.12:21 ) 2. Empowered by the one and same Spirit. (1 Cor.12:11 ) 3. Baptize believers into one body. 1 Cor.12:13)

Paul talks about unity in Galatians 5

5:18- But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 5:22- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness 5:19-20- the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions

Mini conclusion:
Colossian 3:14

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

How H.S. works?

Question: Does the H.S. empower people equally? Why sometimes He seems to empower some people more than the others? Does H.S. have favouritism?

Different degree of empowerment

1. Without measure: John 3:34 Jesus
2. Pour out: 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Acts 2:17-18 @ Pentecost Came and leave: Judg. 13:25; 16:20 Samson. Ineffective: Eph.4:30 grieve the H.S. or 1 Thess.5:19 quench H.S.. Disconnected: Acts 7:51 Pharisees resist Disciplined: Acts5:3; 5:9. Ananias & Sapphira Unforgiven: Matt.12:31 Blasphemy

What is the ideal situation for Christians?

Not by might nor by power, but by my

Spirit, says the LORD Almighty. (Zech. 4:6) In order to do that , we need to be filled with the H.S. = in an atmosphere of Gods manifested presence.

Mini conclusion
Our living/ministry are best when they are in the H.S. and led by Him because He empowers Christians. Any doubt and resistance to reduce His power proportionally on us.
