Who is the Holy Spirit | Next Level Relationships | The Person of the Holy Spirit | Part 4 | Ada Simpson

Power can be used in at least two ways: it can be unleashed, or it can be harnessed.

For instance, the energy in ten gallons of gasoline can be released explosively by dropping a lighted match into the can. Or it can be channeled through the engine of a Ford in a controlled burn and used to transport a person 350 miles.

 

Explosions are spectacular, but controlled burns have a lasting effect, staying power.

The Holy Spirit works both ways.

At Pentecost, He exploded on the scene; His presence was like "tongues of fire" (Acts 2:3). Thousands were affected by one burst of God's power.

But He also works through the church - the institution the Holy Spirit empowers for the long haul - and He works through you - over the course of your lifetime to He leads you, empowers you, protects you, and works miracles through you.

 

Today is Pentecost Sunday! And we are believing for the fuel of the Holy Spirit to light a fire that both explodes and consistently burns within us!

Also, don't forget, a special Pentecost Sunday rally is happening at 6pm at our Brandon campus where miraculous signs and healings will occur, as well as people being baptized in the Holy Spirit!
