The Holy Spirit wishes to dwell with us permanently and continually.
Acts 2:4- All filled with the Spirit
Unity- All came to one place (unity of place) and one accord (unity of spirit) Act 2:1
The Spirit filled the whole house (Acts 2:2)
What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?
Acts 2:38- Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
Acts 8:15-faith in the Lord but had not yet been filled (received here means filled) the Spirit.
Acts 2:4- they were filled
Temporal filling
Acts 9:17- Paul was already converted but had not yet been filled (received here means filled) the Spirit.
How the Spirit interacts with us.
1) Outpoured- thoroughly soaked Acts 2:17
2) Immersed-Overwelmed, us in the Spirit Acts 1:15
3) Filled- Spirit in us Acts 2:4, 1Cor 12:13, John 7:39
Purpose of the Spirit.
Initiate us deeper into the Spirits mission for the church
Deeper into worship
Thrust us into the world to the work of the Spirit, deeper desire to serve.
What is Pentecostal?
Operating how the early Church (the church in Acts) operated, in and through the Spirit. Hungry for God, actively seeking His face.
Routine and frequent filling of the Spirit
