Tonight we continued our study of what we believe, called Cranium. Tonight we discussed 3 things that the Holy Spirit does for us, not a complete list obviously but still 3 very important things.
#1. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies
Romans 15:15-16 tells us that the Holy Spirit helps set us apart from sin, cleaning and purifying us so that we are holy and set apart to serve God.
#2. The Holy Spirit Baptizes
Acts 1:8 and 2:1-4 show this process in action. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a life changing experience subsequent to salvation that helps us to live holy lives, have courage and strength to be God's witnesses, and helps us with our every day relationship with Christ. We see in the book of acts a pattern that shows the initial physical evidence of this baptism to be speaking in tongues.
#3. The Holy Spirit Heals
1st Corinthians 12:7-11 lists off some of the gifts of the Spirit, one of which is healing. We beleive that the Holy Spirit is still active in our world and willing and able to heal others when we pray. This can be a spiritual healing, physical healing, a mental healing, or an emotional healing. Someitmes God chooses not to heal, but we should still be praying for God to heal us as well as those around us.
In each of these we must allow the Spirit to do something in us so that we can be changed and help those in our world.
I give tonight: B
Favorite moment: Haley reading one of the gifts of the Spirit as mercilous powers, instead of miraculous powers.
