FOR THE GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE I LOVE TO PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). God is HOLY. “… I AM HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM …” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).
****
“…In the beginning was the Word… (John 1:1-4 NASB). “…THE WORDS … they ARE SPIRIT (God)…” (John 6:63 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).
“…[Adam and Eve]… heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
“…[Adam and Eve]… heard the voice of the Lord God …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV). “…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).
God SPOKE the world into existence and he SPOKE to Adam and Eve.
His VOICE was audible and it sounded as if he was WALKING in the garden. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
However, and in addition to HEARING his VOICE “walking” “IN” the garden, they HID themselves from his PRESENCE. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day …and hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst trees of the garden…” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). When God STARTED creating the world his SPIRIT “…moved upon the face of the waters…and [then] God SAID….” (Genesis 1:2-3 KJV). “…The invisible [Spirit]…from the creation of the world …clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made…” (Romans 1:20 KJV).
God’s SPIRIT is “clearly SEEN” by the things MADE which means the VOICE of the SPIRIT moved through the GARDEN and MADE a walking SOUND. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard the voice of the Lord God walking …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
Regardless of HOW the voice of the LORD, God was heard WALKING or MOVING through the garden; God’s -who is SPIRIT - VOICE was HEARD. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard the voice …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
God SPEAKS to his people through Jesus, HIS WORD, which is SPIRIT. “…THE WORDS THAT I (Jesus, the WORD) SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). WHY ARE GOD’S WORDS SPIRIT? “…God is Spirit…” (John 4:24 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).
AND God also confirms HIS WORD through signs, wonders, and miracles, such as SALVATION, TRANSFORMATION, and CONFIRMATION. “…[GOD]… moved upon the face of the waters…and [then] God SAID….” (Genesis 1:2-3 KJV).
God MOVES today, which is CLEAR by the things MADE. “…If any man be in (joined to) Christ, he is a [MADE into a] NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are become NEW…” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
The indwelling HOLY SPIRIT is God’s WAY of bonding and connecting to his people once they are SAVED by the POWER of his WORD. “… [The WORD of GOD]... is the power of God at work (through the CONFIRMING work of the HOLY SPIRIT), saving everyone who believes (depends upon the word)…” (Romans 1:16 NLT “…God has given [you] HIS [Holy] Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT “…God … SENT forth the [Holy] Spirit of His Son “INTO” [Y]OUR… HEARTS (SOULS)…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB).
God’s indwelling Holy Spirit RETURNS to JOIN mankind’s SOUL to “HIS” HOLY SPIRIT again. God “….made [you (soul)]… ALIVE with Christ (the WORD)… …” (Ephesians 2:5 NIV). “…May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you (soul) holy and whole [BY PUTTING] you together [again]—[by HIS HOLY] spirit, [your] soul, and body …” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG).
God, the HOLY SPIRIT comes to dwell in YOU by JOINING with your SOUL in a covenant relationship. “…The [Holy] Spirit of God dwell in you (joined to you)…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you (joined to you)?” (1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV). “…God hath said, I will dwell in them (joined to them), and walk in them (joined with them); and I will be their God, and they shall be my people…” (2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV).
However, “…God is not human …” (Numbers 23:19 NIV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit-the perfect soulmate - completes you. “…May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole [and] put (or JOIN) you together [AGAIN]—with [God’s HOLY] spirit, [your] soul, and body …” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG). “…Jesus Christ is in you (joined to your SOUL)…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (HOLY)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). NLT).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit transforms your nature because you “now” belong to him. “…Ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy…” (Leviticus 20:26 KJV). “…Jesus Christ (the WORD, which is SPIRIT) is in you (joined to you)…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)….” (Romans 8:8-11 NLT).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit makes you holy (sets you apart & totally frees you from sin). “… I AM HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “…you are … A HOLY NATION…” (1 Peter 2:9 NASB). “…be holy, because I am holy…” (1 Peter 1:16 KJV). . “… [God’s indwelling Spirit is]…for our profit, that [we] might be partakers (participants) of his holiness...” (Hebrews 12:10 KJV). “…by the Grace of God … [you are what you are] …” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV). “…work at living (work at depending upon the indwelling Holy Spirit to live) a HOLY life, for those who are not HOLY will not see … [God] …” (Hebrews 12:14 NLT).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit enables you to be and become holy (set apart & totally free from sin). HOW? “…It is God who works IN YOU to will and TO ACT…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “….Apart from [Jesus, the WORD, which is also SPIRIT]…YOU CAN DO NOTHING…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…God hath said, I will dwell in them…” (2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV). “…May … God … WORK IN US what is pleasing to him, THROUGH Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…the Father (also God, the Word and God, the Holy Spirit) that dwelleth in (is joined to) me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit supplies the holiness. “…God will supply all [your NEED for HOLINESS]…” (Philippians 4:19 NASB). “…God will generously PROVIDE all you NEED (for HOLINESS). Then you will always have everything you NEED (of HOLINESS) …” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT). “…ye shall (will (guaranteed)) be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy…” (Leviticus 20:26 KJV). “…It is God who works (HIS HOLINESS) IN YOU …” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).
Thus, HOLINESS is “NOT” something you DO; it is something that is done “for” you. “…the Father that dwelleth in (is joined to) … [you], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…God …works in you (by being joined to you)… TO ACT in order to fulfill his good purpose…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “ … God … equip you with everything good for doing his will …” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV)
In addition HOLINESS is something you become through God, the indwelling Holy Spirit. “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to… [HOLINESS]…” (John 3:6 NLT). “ …The Spirit of God dwelleth in you (or is joined, sealed, bonded, etc. to you)…” (1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV). “…[The holy God] … that dwelleth in me (is joined, bonded, sealed to YOU), he doeth the works (of making you HOLY)…” (John 14:10 KJV).
Further, HOLINESS is something you are EMPOWERED to practice through God, the indwelling Holy Spirit. “… God … work[s] … in … [you] … what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in (that is joined to YOU), he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit transforms your status too. “…you are … A HOLY NATION…” (1 Peter 2:9 NASB). He, himself was“….set apart for the gospel of God...” (Romans 1:1 NASB). “…God anointed (set apart) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and POWER…” (Acts 10:38 NIV).Thus, “…you are … A HOLY (set apart) NATION…” (1 Peter 2:9 NASB).
I AM HOLY. ONLY “…By the grace of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV). “… Apart from [Jesus, You]…can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit removes limitation. “…The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to [the sinful nature]. …I don’t really understand myself, for I want to [be holy] …but I don’t [allow myself to depend upon God’s indwelling Spirit]... Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is [the sinful nature]… living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to [be Holy) … [which]… is right, BUT I CAN’T…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by [impurity and unholiness]?” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
“…The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “..If the Son (the WORD, which is SPIRIT) therefore shall make you free, you SHALL be free indeed…” (John 8:36 KJV). “….Apart from [the indwelling spirit] ,.. [you] … can do nothing (YOU CAN’T BE HOLY)…” (John 15:5 NIV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). god, the holy spirit, strengthens you to do things you couldn’t do before. He will “…strengthened [you]… with might by his Spirit in the inner man…” (Ephesians 3:16 KJV). “… [He strengthens you]…according to the POWER that worketh IN [YOU]…” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). “… God … work[s] … in … [you] … what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…the Father … he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…The things which are impossible with men … [are] …POSSIBLE… [with God] …” (Luke 18:27 KJV). “…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…HE WHICH HATH “BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN [YOU]… “WILL” “PERFORM” IT “UNTIL” the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6 KJV).
HOWEVER, “…I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:1-11 NASB). “…abide in me, and I in you. …” (John 15:4 KJV). “…The branch cannot bear fruit (SPIRITUAL FRUIT) of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me…” (John 15:4-6 NASB).
“…If a man abide NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned…” (John 15:6 KJV). “…the Father … he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). the beneficial BLESSINGS FOM god, the holy spirit are a result of “you” choosing to abide in (OR STAY JOINED TO) the covenant relationship. “…I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:1-11 NASB). “…abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me…” (John 15:4 KJV).
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). god, the holy spirit is an active participant in the covenant relationship with EACH OF HIS CHILDREN. “…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s (ACTIVE) “POWER” THROUGH each of us (WHO ARE IN A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM) … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
In conclusion, The holy spirit saves your soul, confirms god’s word, displays god’s power, produces spiritual fruit, empowers HOLY behaviors, STRENGTHENS ABILITIES, supplies needs, reveals god’s character, unites with MAN’S SOUL THROUGH the bond of love, and joins or seals HIMSELF with MAN’S SOUL THROUGH the indwelling holy spirit. “…The …HOLY SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [IT ALL!!]. … … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). THEREFORE,“…The Father (THE HOLY SPIRIT) that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
FOR INSTANCE, the Holy Spirit works “in” and “through” HIS people DISPLAYING his POWER by the CONFIRMING works of his HOLY SPIRIT. “…God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene by doing (by displaying HIS) powerful miracles, wonders, and signs through him, as you well know. …” (ACTS 2:22 KJV). . “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “… the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs…” (Matthew 16:20 NLT). “… God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose…” (Hebrews 2:4 NLT). “…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The human FLESH, which is NOW the SINFUL NATURE; it CAN “NOT” help you follow God’s HOLY instructions; nor can the FLESH benefit, motivate, activate, or EMPOWER Holy conduct. “…I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t….I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…Who will free [you] from this life that is dominated by SIN? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…I will put a NEW SPIRIT in you (it will be JOINED to you)…” (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT “…The Lord (Jesus Christ, the WORD, which is also SPIRIT) is that Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…if the Son (Jesus Christ, the WORD, which is also SPIRIT)…shall make you FREE …” (John 8:36 KJV). “…, ye shall (GUARANTEED) be FREE indeed (without a doubt) …” (John 8:36 KJV).
IN ADDITION, the FRUIT of the HOLY SPIRIT will NEVER be produced by the FLESH. “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives: ….” (Galatians 5 NLT).
The FRUIT of the HOLY SPIRIT is not a human performance, but the DISPLAY of God’s power THROUGH “HIS people. “…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s (ACTIVE) power THROUGH each of us (IN A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM) … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
The FRUIT of the SPIRIT is PROOF that YOU are God’s disciples and are JOINED in a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP. “…God has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT).
The FRUIT of the HOLY SPIRIT gives GLORY to GOD or MAKES HIS PRESENCE KNOWN! "…My Father is glorified by this (his presence is made KNOWN), that “YOU” bear much fruit, and so PROVE to be My disciples” (John 15:8 NIV).
“…It is the SPIRIT who “GIVES” LIFE; the flesh profits nothing…” (John 6:63 NASB). “…. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “… [God’s people will]… bear much fruit, and …PROVE to be [God’s]… disciples…” (John 15:8 NIV).
“…He who ABIDES in (stays joined, by CHOICE, to) Me and I in (joined to) him (her), he (she) bears much fruit … ” (John 15:1-11 NASB). "…My Father is glorified by this (his presence is made KNOWN), that “YOU” bear much fruit, and so PROVE to be My disciples” (John 15:8 NIV). “…Ye shall know … [God’s people]… by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV).
A FRUITFUL “CHRISTLIKE” life begins with the HOLY SPIRIT. “…It is the SPIRIT who “GIVES” (or produces) LIFE (especially a fruitful life)…” (John 6:63 NASB).
The HOLY SPIRIT works “IN” his people to DO the things PLEASING to God. “…Now may the God of peace, … that great Shepherd of the sheep …work in [you] what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ,,,” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 KJV).
The HOLY SPIRIT “TRANSFORMS” his people. “,,,Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…I WILL GIVE you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. …” (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “… [Therefore]… we all … are changed into the same image [of Christ] from glory to glory …” (2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV). “…By the GRACE of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
The Holy Spirit CONFIRMS his “OWN” Word. “…God publicly endorsed (confirmed) Jesus the Nazarene (the WORD) (HOW?) by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs “THROUGH” him, as you well know. …” (ACTS 2:22 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [Jesus, the Word), he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…The disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, CONFIRMING what they said (HOW?) by many miraculous signs…” (Mark 16:20 KJV). “…The …HOLY SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [signs, wonders, and miracles]. … … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “… God CONFIRMED the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose…” (Hebrews 2:4 NLT).
The Holy Spirit PRODUCES God’s FRUIT. “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control….” (Galatians 5 NLT). . “…Now God GIVES US many kinds of special abilities (confirmed and revealed through fruit, signs and wonders), but it is the same HOLY SPIRIT who is the source of them all. …” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
The Holy Spirit DISPLAYS God’s POWER “in” and “through” “HIS PEOPLE.” “…It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works (of producing spiritual FRUIT)…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
The HOLY SPIRIT “EMPOWERS” Holy character and abilities “IN’ HIS people. The Holy Spirit empowered JESUS to do the WONDERFUL WORKS he did upon earth! “…God anointed (empowered) Jesus of Nazareth (also the WORD, which is SPIRIT) (HOW?) with the Holy Spirit and POWER (WHAT DID JESUS DO?) …he went around doing good and healing all ….(WHY WAS JESUS ABLE TO DO WHAT HE DID?) because God (the holy spirit) was with him…” (Acts 10:38 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [Jesus, the WORD), he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
HOW does the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT empower or strengthen YOU to do the WORKS of God? “…Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me (depends upon God’s WORD), the works that I (the WORD) do shall he (she) do also; and GREATER WORKS than these shall he (she) do; because I go unto my Father…” (John 14:1 KJV). “…It is God which worketh in you…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “… [YOU will]… bear much fruit, and …PROVE to be [God’s]… disciples…” (John 15:8 NIV).
The IMPORTANCE of the Holy Spirit DISPLAYING spiritual FRUIT “in” and “through” his people is to GIVE GLORY to GOD which means THEY REVEAL and CONFIRM his PRESENCE in the WORLD! "…My Father is glorified by this, that “YOU” bear much fruit, and so PROVE to be My disciples” (John 15:8 NIV).
“… Apart from Me (God, the Holy Spirit), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). However, “… [You] … can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth … [you]…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “…It is God who works in [you]…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).
“…The Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…Ye shall know them by their fruit…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…The fruit of the [indwelling Holy]… Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "…My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so PROVE to be My disciples” (John 15:8 NIV).
“…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s (ACTIVE) power THROUGH each of us (IN A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM) … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
“…The [HOLY SPIRIT]... that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…The …HOLY SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [IT ALL!!]. …” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
WHY DOES GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, DO ALL THINGS FOR HIS PEOPLE?
“… He [has] done so many miracles before [HIS PEOPLE] ….” (John 12:37-40 NLT). “… [He has] done [those miracles] … so [THEY WILL] will know that [He is] the Lord…” (Exodus 10:1-2 NLT). “… I am the Lord your God…’” (Exodus 16:12 NLT).
“…Your rock and Your fortress, your deliverer, Your GOD, Your rock, in whom [you can] … take refuge; Your shield and the horn of Your salvation, YOUR stronghold.…" (Psalms 18:3 NASB).
Shout hallelujah!!
“… Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done …” (Psalms 40:5 KJV). “… he had done so many miracles before them ….” (John 12:37-40 NLT). “… he hath done marvellous things…” (Psalm 98:1 KJV).
“…[GOD, THE] …HOLY SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [IT ALL!!]. …” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
