THE STRENGTH
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
THE STRENGTH
BEHIND
FAITHFULNESS
BEFORE
JESUS LEFT
3 He presented himself alive to them
after his suffering by many proofs,
appearing to them during forty days
and speaking about the kingdom of
God.
Acts 1:3-5
4 And while staying with them he
ordered them not to depart from
Jerusalem, but to wait for the
promise of the Father, which, he
said, "you heard from me;
Acts 1:3-5
5 for John baptized with water, but
you will be baptized with the Holy
Spirit not many days from now."
Acts 1:3-5
JESUS REVEALS
THE HOLY SPIRIT
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
that I have said to you.
John 14:26
THE POWER
FROM HEAVEN
8 But you will receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you,
and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the
earth."
Acts 1:8
WHY DO WE NEED THE HOLY
SPIRIT’S POWER?
23 for all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23
Man Is Proud Of His Strength &
Intelligence
Goliath the strongest man in
Philistine did not match with David’s
strength
The wise men of Babylon did not
match with the wisdom of Daniel
The wise men of Egypt did not match
the power of Joseph and Moses
Joseph had favor from the Pharaoh
while Moses did not have favor from
the Pharaoh. It does not matter, what
matters is that they had the favor
from God
The spirit behind these men is the
Spirit of God
Human strength will not reach the
glory of God, only through the Holy
Spirit
GOD BREAKS HUMAN
STRENGTH
When sin entered mankind, human
strength changed into pride instead
of relying in God.
God breaks every human strength by
allowing every human being to grow
old and become literally weak and
dies.
Human strength & intelligence must bow down to God
27 But God chose what is foolish in
the world to shame the wise; God
chose what is weak in the world to
shame the strong;28 God chose what is low and
despised in the world, even things
that are not, to bring to nothing
things that are,
1 Corinthians 1:27-29
29 so that no human being might
boast in the presence of God.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29
JESUS RIDES A DONKEY
5 "Say to the daughter of Zion,
'Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of
burden.'"
Matthew 21:5
WORSHIP IS A TIME TO HUMBLE
Holy Spirit visits us through our
worship
Personal devotion, quiet time and
prayer
Church worship services
WORSHIP IS MORE THAN
JUST SINGING
Our goal in worship is not just to sing
good songs
It is to see the Holy Spirit moving
through the 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Dead church does not experience
the move of the Holy Spirit during
worship, we are not a dead church,
we must allow the Holy Spirit to move
in our service.
EZEKIEL’S VISION
5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these
bones: Behold, I will cause breath
to enter you, and you shall live.
Ezekiel 37:5
10 So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath
came into them, and they lived and
stood on their feet, an exceedingly
great army.
Ezekiel 37:10
GOD BREATHES HIS SPIRIT IN US
7 And the LORD God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life; and man became a living
soul.
Genesis 2:7
ONCE AGAIN GOD BREATHE
HIS SPIRIT
8 But you will receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you,
and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the
earth."
Act 1:8
START STRONG, REMAIN STRONG, FINISH STRONG
6 Then he said to me, "This is the
word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:
Not by might, nor by power, but by
my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6
