Times Two pt1 – How to Increase in the Power of the Holy Spirit
Times Two pt1—How to Increase in the Power of the Holy Spirit
[2Ki 2:1-14 NASB95]
This is very similar to Jesus’ statement about Him leaving and the church receiving the power of the Holy Spirit.
[Jhn 14:12 NASB95]
[Jhn 16:7 NASB95]
How do we increase the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives?
Here are four truths about walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Be fully committed.
V. 2, 4, 6, 12 (called him his father.)
[Luk 9:60-62 NASB95]
Become fully committed to Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.
Be willing to serve.
V. 3, 5
[2Ki 3:11 NASB95]
We serve God by serving in His church for the expansion of the Gospel of Jesus.
Be hungry.
V. 9-10
This gigantic request is made by someone who is hungry.
Randy Clark, “Most of the time, God anoints hungry people.”
[1Co 12:31 NASB95]
[1Co 14:1, 39 NASB95]
Hunger for God and the things of God makes you a candidate for the anointing.
Be active.
V. 13-14
[1Pe 4:10-11 NASB95]
Christianity is not just about you feeling better. It is a mission to help heal the world.
If you have nothing to do with the problems of others, you will have nothing to do the power to bring healing to others.
What are you going to do to help other people?
God wants to release the power of the Holy Spirit to hungry people who are fully committed to and actively serving Him.
