Importance of yielding to the Holy Spirit
A. Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2). Initially God doesn’t ask much of us as He pours out grace upon grace. Then there comes a time when He wants to deal with those inner things that have formed our life, things that are like concrete in our soul and don’t go away
B. Yielding to the Holy Spirit. That’s when we need to yield, keep yielding to the Holy Spirit for breakthrough. As we yield we have to contend, to pray in tongues. We experience power when we pray in tongues. Yielding requires sacrifice as the Holy Spirit leads us.
If we are thirsty for God, He comes.
Our Indwelling Helper – the Holy Spirit (Derek Prince)
John 14:16-18.
Definition of Paraclete. Literal meaning – someone called to come alongside to help. A Paraclete is someone who can do for you what you cannot do for yourself.
A. We have two Advocates:
1. The Holy Spirit – on earth. 2. Jesus – In heaven. Jesus forever intercedes at the right hand of the Father for us.
Note: While Jesus was on earth He was limited by time and space. When He comes back for His people in the Holy Spirit, He is not limited….
The Holy Spirit is not limited to time and space.
B. What Jesus said about the Holy Spirit:
“The Father….will give you another Counsellor.” “He will…be with you forever.” “He lives with you and will be in you.” God lives in me. I have tremendous potential as God’s child on the earth. “I will not leave you as orphans.” An orphan spirit is one where there is no father or mother. “I will come to you.”
C. What happened to the disciples at Pentecost:
i) They understood the plan of God and the ministry of Jesus far better than before. ii) They became extremely bold. Acts 2:22-36 iii) They had supernatural confirmations. The moment the Holy Spirit came, miracles began to take place.
