Giving the Holy Spirit His Proper PlaceThe speaker urges the church to realize that despite being born of the Holy Spirit years ago, the Spirit may have lost his proper place in individual lives and in the church.
The Holy Spirit Throughout ScriptureFrom the creation in Genesis to the New Covenant beginnings with Mary and Jesus, Scripture shows the golden thread of the Holy Spirit's vital presence and power.
The River of Life in RevelationReading from the final chapter of Revelation, the speaker highlights the river of the water of life as a picture of the Holy Spirit, noting that no curse can touch those in God's kingdom.Revelation 22:1
The Spirit and the Bride Say ComeThe message of the last book in the Bible is an urgent invitation from the Spirit and the bride for the thirsty to come and take the water of life without cost.
Would We Miss the Holy Spirit?Ian Robson asks a searching question: if the Holy Spirit were to leave the church or our lives, would we even notice it beneath all our religious activities?
Did You Receive the Holy Spirit When You Believed?Recounting Paul's encounter with the disciples at Ephesus who had not even heard of the Holy Spirit, the speaker emphasizes the necessity of receiving the Spirit's power.
Thirsting for Living WaterJesus cried out on the last day of the feast for the thirsty to come to him, pointing to the rivers of living water that flow from the innermost being of those who believe.John 7:37–39
Ezekiel's Vision of the RiverExamining Ezekiel's vision of the waters flowing from the altar, the speaker describes how the Holy Spirit leads us deeper into a life of freshness and continuous fruitfulness.
The Spirit of AdoptionThe primary mark of the Holy Spirit is that He places us into a family and causes us to cry out 'Abba, Father' with the intimacy of a child holding a father's hand.Romans 8:15–17
God Loves Us as Much as He Loved JesusThe speaker shares how John 17:23 changed his life, revealing that God loves ordinary, undeserving believers just as much as He loved His own Son Jesus Christ.
The Fullness Is for the UndeservingThe fullness of the Spirit is not given to people who try to deserve it through their own merit, but to those who hit rock bottom and come to God in absolute need.
Laying Hold of God Until He BlessesLike Jacob wrestling with God, believers must repent of everything, forgive others, and refuse to let go until God fills them with the Holy Spirit.
