Holy Spirit (Spiritual Growth, Part 3) | 9.3.23 | Pastor Bob Tome

From the series "Discipleship: Jesus in the Gospel of John"

John 14 & 16  | Influencers. We are bombarded with people who seek to influence us to causes, personal life changes, and ideologies about society and human existence. 

For the believer, the Holy Spirit can be a powerful influencer when we don’t stifle His interaction in our lives. He is not an imaginative entity, not a mystical figure, or some strange force. 

He is God the Holy Spirit. He has been an influence before life on planet earth, Genesis 1:2. He was active in the hearts of men and women in Israel’s history. David cried out in Psalm 51, “Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.” The Gospel writer, Luke, reported that “Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit,” Luke 4:14. Previously we saw that the Spirit was another of the same kind [John 14:16], that He is truth [John 14:17], and that He pushes us to love Jesus [John 14:21].
