YOUTH FELLOWSHIP
* Speaker: Justice Daniel Longji
* Topic: Leadership of the Holy Spirit
* The greatest need you will have is the Holy Spirit
* Anyone who has Christ has the Holy Spirit
★ Luke 11:13 →"So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!”
* When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything
* With the Holy Spirit, you can be anywhere and yet serve God
★ Acts 5:3-4 →" Peter asked, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you should lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money you got for the land? As long as it remained unsold, wasn’t it your own? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? So how could you have thought of doing what you did? You didn’t lie only to men, but also to God!”
* NOTE: The Holy Spirit is God
* It is a mystery that God manifests in three (3) persons.
→ Many do not believe this!
★ 2 Corinthians 13:14 →"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
* God gives us His grace in Jesus
* God himself is love
* The Holy Spirit grants us fellowship with God
★ John 16:13-14 →" Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he’ll guide you into all truth. He won’t speak on his own accord, but he’ll speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you."
* Without the Spirit of God, you cannot know God
* It is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus (God) to you
☆ HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD?
→ NOTE: The primary assignment of the Holy Spirit is to LEAD you; of Jesus is to SAVE you, and of God the Father to LOVE you!
★ John 14:26 →"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you."
1. HE REVEALS
* He does this through the Scriptures
* Head knowledge is different from heart knowledge
* Every moment you should desire that the Holy Spirit should reveal Jesus and God to you
2. HE SPEAKS
* He speaks the things of God to us
* Sometimes we hear His voice audibly, sometimes in the heart
* If the Holy Spirit must lead you, He must reveal Jesus to you
3. HE TEACHES God's Word
