Topic:How To Remain Anointed (Part 3)
Text:Acts 1:8
HOW TO REMAIN ANOINTED (cont'd)
4). Habitual fellowship with the person of the Holy Spirit - Isaiah 32:15
•This implies being intimate with the Holy Spirit.
•Intimacy with the Holy Spirit is of essence, because He is the source of the anointing - Joel 2:28
•To have an overflow in your life, be intimate with the source.
•Be intimate with the one who anoints and not just the anointing.
•Relationship with the Holy Ghost is a two way thing, you must both know each other - Galatians 4:9
•Intimacy is a two way relationship, in which both parties know each other - Romans 8:16
•Through intimacy, each party gets acquainted with the weaknesses and strength of each other - Romans 8:26
•Because we're intimate with Him, we can rely on Him - Philippians 4:13
•Intimacy with the Holy Spirit also involves conversations, fellowship.
•By being intimate with the person of the Holy Ghost, you become sensitive to His presence and leading.
•Sensitive is of the essence when it comes to the Holy Spirit.
CERTAIN THINGS THE SCRIPTURES WARN US ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
1). Blasphemy (for the unbelievers) - Matthew 12:31
•To blaspheme against the Holy Spirit is to reject/deny Jesus Christ (reject or fight against salvation) - Hebrews 10:28-29
•Blasphemy is a deliberate ignorance of the truth.
•Jesus depended on the person of the Holy Ghost, so it's blasphemy when anyone rejects the Holy Spirit - Romans 8:11
•When you reject God, you've insulted Him - Hebrews 10:29
2). Grieving the Holy Spirit (for the believer) - Ephesians 4:30
•Grieving the Holy Spirit is living outside the word of God.
•The Holy Spirit can be in you but grieved due to your attitude, unforgiveness.
3). Quench not the Spirit (for the believer) - 1 Thessalonians 5:19, Acts 13:4
TWO WAYS WE QUENCH THE SPIRIT
A. By being a vessel refusing to yield to God's leading.
•When you keep doing this, the fire in you dies (the glory departs)
•Restraining the Holy Ghost is doing what the Holy Spirit says don't or not doing what He commands.
B. By being a tool to hinder another tool who's yielded to the Holy Ghost - Acts 13:4-11
•Being a distraction to a vessel doesn't stop the Holy Spirit but the vessel and disturbs the flow.
