Week 4

This week we learned about the Holy Spirit and the Gifts and Fruits of the Spirit. 

Holy Spirit

"Knowing about the truth and knowing the truth is a big differences!" This statement was really powerful I feel like so often people learn about different things but they don't but what they learn into practice. This was just another thing that really made me want to work on putting everything I learn about his into my heart and not just my head.

The HOLY Spirit  is GOD! Holy Spirit is a person and not an it. He has a will. We can grieve the Holy Spirit because he has emotions. We can make him happy or sad. This was really interesting for me to hear because I feel like a lot of the time I think of the Holy Spirit as an it I wouldn't think about making the Holy Spirit sad just Jesus. 

The Holy Spirit is not just a feeling or and experience but he's God and he promises to be with you!

Living with the Holy Spirit is exciting!!!! He wants to give us a vision! When the Holy Spirit comes he brings things we don't understand. He also brings life, provision, vision and direction.

We know things are from the Holy Spirit if it brings LIFE! We need to be filled with revelation that the plans God has for us are GOOD ones!

"We are not created to live carefully and die carefully"

When we are filled with the Holy Spirit it over flows and leaves drops everywhere. There is a BIG difference from being a Christian and being a Holy Spirit filled Christian. 

Gifts and Fruits of the Spirit

A gift is not something you earn. I really liked that she said that and enjoyed her illustration.

Fruits of the Spirt

    Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control

The fruit helps you recognize what the tree is with out it is harder just like in the Christian walk! I LOVED this!

Memory Verse

Acts 1:8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
