When we don’t feel the Holy Spirit like we think we are supposed to it can create a lot of anxiety. Can we ever actually KNOW that the Holy Spirit is in us? Can we lose the Holy Spirit?
Main Points:
[00:42] When we don’t feel the Holy Spirit like we think we are supposed to it can create a lot of anxiety.
[01:19] God’s gift of the Holy Spirit isn’t a feeling. It’s a fact.
[04:02] God loves and adopts his children simply because he wants to.
[09:11] Belief is choosing to be confident that God will do what he promised.
[11:12] The moment we trust that God keeps his promises he promises that we have the Holy Spirit.
[13:13] The Holy Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will fulfill his promise to restore us forever.
[14:40] Every Jesus Follower has the Holy Spirit, but not every Jesus Follower is walking with the Holy Spirit.
[17:38] If God seals it, no one can steal it.
[20:54] Goal: Trust that God keeps his promises.
[22:17] The more we walk with the Holy Spirit the more we are aware that he is with us.
This Week’s Practice [21:00]
Read: Ephesians 1 vv13-14
Pray: God, Help me put my confidence in your promise and not my feelings.
Live it out: God says you are sealed: live like it. Love confidently. Live freely.
Discussion Questions:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how trusting do you generally tend to be?
2.Read John 14 vv15-18. What words or thoughts stand out to you?
3. Jon said, “Belief is choosing to be confident that God will do what he promised.” Do you think this type of belief leaves room for doubts and questions? Why or why not?
