God The Holy Spirit

John 16:5-15 (NASB)
5  "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
6  "But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7  "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8  "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
9  concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10  and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;
11  and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12  "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13  "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
14  "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
15  "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

1.     Brings Conviction & Correction     

2.     Brings Counsel & Clarity

2 Peter 1:20-21 (NASB)
20  But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
21  for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

3.     Brings Courage & Empowers 

Acts 1:8 (NASB)
8  but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB)
22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23  gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Romans 8:14-17 (NASB)
14  For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15  For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
16  The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
17  and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

4.     Brings Certainty & Security  

Ephesians 1:13-14 (NASB)
13  In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14  who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Ephesians 4:30 (NASB)
30  Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

 

 

1 John 4:13 (NASB)
13  By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

Romans 8:26-27 (NASB)
26  In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
27  and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Matthew 12:28-32 (NASB)
28  "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29  "Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
30  "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
31  "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32  "Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
