Relationship of the Holy Spirit // Embrace Grace (Part 3)

Pastor Vlad continued #EmbraceGrace series with powerful message about how the cross of the Jesus is the foundation of the Pentecost of the Holy Spirit. This message will glorify Jesus and draw you closer to the Holy Spirit. Sermon Notes: The Spirit came when it was dark but the Holy Spirit moved after the Light came (Genesis 1:2-3; John 8:12; John 1:1). My relationship to Holy Spirit might be based on crisis. Holy Spirit’s relationship with me is based on Christ. Dove came out of the ark, Holy Spirit comes after the redemptive work of the cross (Genesis 8:11). Dove is mentioned 3 times in the story of Noah First time - no rest (Old Testament) Second time - olive leaf (New Testament) Third time - never came back (church age) “There are nine main feathers on the left and right wings of the dove. He pointed out that there are also nine gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7-10) and nine fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23). There are also five main tail feathers on a dove, which can represent the fivefold ministry gifts of apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists and teachers (Eph. 4:11). The tail feathers of a dove are like the rudder of a ship—they assist in balance and direction in flight, just as the fivefold ministry gifts in the church bring balance to the body of Christ.” Leonard Ravenhill Dove descends on the Lamb (Matthew 3:16) Pentecost after the Cross (John 7:39). Spirit is given when Christ is glorified. Sin made me a tomb. Savior made me a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). The cross didn’t just prepare a place for me in heaven, it prepared me to be a place for the Holy Spirit. Fellowship of the Spirit follows grace of Jesus and love of God. Holy Spirit’s relationship with you rests on the grace of Jesus. It’s communion of the Holy Spirit, not communion with the Holy Spirit. Fellowship is his gift to us as grace is Jesus’ gift to us. Communion be with you all, it’s for everyone not just the elite as the grace is. For more information: http://www.hungrygen.com http://www.facebook.com/hungrygen http://www.instagram.com/hungrygen
