#07: If you watched the recent Super Bowl, you might have seen the commercials for He Gets Us and if you didn’t watch the Super Bowl, you probably heard about them.
Those commercials have been controversial in the Christian community to say the least. Well we’re not going to talk about the commercials in this episode but what I will say is rather than He Gets Us, I say He’s In Us, The Holy Spirit that is.
On today’s episode, we are going to dive a little deeper in to who the Holy Spirit is and what He does in us, for us and through us.
Key Takeaways:
- A.W. Tozer wrote in his book, How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit, “oh, if God’s people could only learn that spirit can penetrate personality, that your personality is not an impenetrable substance, but can be penetrated.”
- The Holy Spirit:
-- He convicts the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment
-- He is the Spirit of truth
-- He will guide you
-- What he hears from heaven, he will speak
-- He will declare to you the things that are to come
-- He will glorify God & Jesus
-- He will take what is the Father’s and declare it to you
-- Strengthens & Equips us
-- Does the work of regeneration
-- Gives us life and sustains us
-- Purifies, unifies, guides and directs us
-- Comforts us
-- Gives us assurance and evidence of God’s presence
-- Reveals the Father’s love to us
-- Teaches and illuminates God’s word to us
- ”Jesus breaks the chains and the Holy Spirit helps remove the chains and heals the trauma from the chains.” - Pastor Jordan Tardo
- Being filled with the Holy Spirit is something that happens daily. What it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit is that we are yielding our lives to him to lead us and guide us and some days this is easier than others. It is a constant surrender and practice and the more we do it, the more we exercise that muscle so we can fully live by his guidance.
