The Mighty Works Of The Holy Spirit
by Pastor Fee SolivenEphesians 1:3-14Sunday MorningMarch 16, 2014
Ephesians 1:3-143 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5
having predestined us to adoption as
sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His
grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. 7 In Him we
have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and
prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His
good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of
the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in
Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him. 11 In Him
also we have obtained an inheritance,
being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things
according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ
should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having
believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of
His glory.
He Convicts of Sin!
John 16:8-98 And when He has come, He will
convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of
sin, because they do not believe in Me;
He Regenerates us by His Power!
John 3:3-83 Jesus answered and said to him,
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God." 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into
his mother's womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water
and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be
born again.’
8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
He Indwells Us!
Colossians 1:26-2726 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory.
1 John 4:4"You are of God, little children, and
have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the
world."
1 Corinthians 6:19-2019 Or do you not know that your body
is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and
you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which
are God's.
He Seals Us, Marking Us as His Own!
Ephesians 1:13-1413 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having
believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the
guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of His glory.
John 13:34-3534 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have
loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that
you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
He Teaches Us!
John 14:26"But the Helper, 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 2:27"But the anointing which you have
received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you,
you will abide in Him"
Romans 10:10"For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"
He Reminds Us Again and Again!
John 14:26"But the Helper, 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"
He Guides and Directs our Steps!
Romans 8:14"For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God"
Psalm 37:23-2423 The steps of a good man are
ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall
not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand.
He is Our Helper and Comforter
Hebrews 13:6"So we may boldly say: "The LORD is
my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
Psalm 54:4-54 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. 5 He will
repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth.
John 15:26"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the
Father, He will testify of Me.
John 16:7"Nevertheless 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 depart, I will send
Him to you."
Gives us Spiritual Gifts!
1 Corinthians 12:1-111 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be
ignorant: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb
idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls
Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are diversities of gifts,
but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same
Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who
works all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word
of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same
Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another
discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these
things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
He Fills Us!
Ephesians 5:18-1918 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in
your heart to the Lord...
Acts 9:17"And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may
receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
The Holy Spirit in Us Brings forth Fruit!
Galatians 5:22-2422 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Matthews 7:18-2018 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know
them.
He Empowers Us by His Spirit!
Luke 10:19-2019 Behold, I give you the authority to
trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but
rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
Acts 1:8"But you shall receive power when the
Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Luke 24:49"Behold, I send the Promise of My
Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with
power from on high."
The Holy Spirit Anoints Us!
1 John 2:27"But the anointing which you have
received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you,
you will abide in Him."
Isaiah 10:27"It shall come to pass in that day That
his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because
of the anointing oil."
