Notes

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT) That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

Hosea 4:6 (NLT) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge… Because you have forgotten the law of your God…

Acts 2:12-16 (NIV) Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” 13Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.” 14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16No, this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel.

He is not an it!

He is not weird!

Who is He?

He is my inner voice.

John 16:8 (NLT) And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.

1 Corinthians 12:3b (NLT) No one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

He is my teacher.

John 14:26 (NKJV) But the Helper, [Comforter, Advocate] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

1 John 2:27a (NLT) But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know…

He is my guide.

John 16:13 (NLT) When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

Isaiah 30:21 (NLT) Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.

He is my friend.

John 14:16 (MSG) I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit…

2 Corinthians 13:14 (MSG) The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you.

#3 - “Holy Spirit fill me.”

Ephesians 5:18 (NLT) Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 13:52 (NASB) And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

John 7:37-39 (NLT) On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! 38Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” 39(When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)

Being filled with the Holy Spirit doesn’t make me better than you, it makes me better than me!
