Topic: Befriend The Spirit (Teens Open Heavens 21 January 2021)
Memorise: “When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.” – Acts 19:6
Read: John 16:7-13
7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;
10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
Bible In One Year: Genesis 49-50; Matthew 15:1-20
MESSAGE:
After I gave my life to Christ, I observed that whenever there was an altar call, the preacher would say ‘All those who want to be saved should come forward while those who want sanctification or baptism in the Holy Spirit should ask God in prayer” So I become curious. I wanted to know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit was about. This curiosity grew so much that I began to acquire books on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. By the time I eventually experienced the baptism, I had become so close to the Holy Spirit and since then, I enjoy a sweet relationship with Him.
Why do you need to befriend the Holy Spirit? We are in the regime of the Holy Spirit. If you must prosper in this period, you need to be close to Him. The Bible calls Him our Helper; truly, no one can live holy in this sinful world without the help of the Holy Spirit. So, if you do not have a good relationship with the Holy Spirit. you will struggle in your walk with God. Ask for His baptism today.
Action Point:
Ask the Holy Spirit to baptism you afresh today.
Hymn 6: Breathe On Me, Breath Of God
- Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do. - Breathe on me, Breath of God:
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure. - Breathe on me, Breath of God
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine. - Breathe on me, Breath of God;
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
