THE HOLY SPIRIT

The following is a series of sermons which I have been preaching since the early 1980s and 1990s. Early in my life (1981), brother Richard DeGough studied with me and influenced me greatly in my understanding of the Holy Spirit and how the Spirit operates upon people. I will forever be grateful to brother DeGough for his time and efforts to study with me.

There are many different ideas about the Holy Spirit and how He operates.

The Calvinists believe the Holy Spirit operates directly upon both sinners and saints alike.
Some well-intentioned Christians believe the Spirit operates directly only upon saints.
The Pentecostal and Charismatic people believe the Spirit operates miraculously â€“ enabling people to speak in tongues, prophesy, miraculously heal, and perform other miracles similar to the apostles themselves.
Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe the Holy Spirit is even a divine person. They hold the Spirit is “God’s power personified.”

All of these ideas will be explored in this series of sermons on the Holy Spirit.

Be aware the written notes are simply sermon notes which are used while speaking. You will find plenty of grammatical mistakes. I pray those are the only mistakes you will find. I sincerely pray there are no logical mistakes. I pray each passage discussed will be handled fairly and accurately and that only truth will be presented. If you print out the notes and follow along with the audio presentation, hopefully you will be able to follow the progression of thought.

These studies are in the process of being recorded and posted. Continue to check back for more installments.

May God bless this series of studies concerning the Holy Spirit.
