Buy The Truth

The Sevenfold Holy Spirit 1) The name Holy Spirit is used seven times in the Bible: A. Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. B. Isaiah 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit : therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. C. Isaiah 63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him? D. Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? E. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, F. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. ...

Numbers In The Bible Series: Day 36 - The Perfect Holy Spirit It is no wonder that Christ would leave us with His perfect Holy Spirit to reside within us. I love the fact that we don't have the Spirit hovering over us in a cloud as the Jews did in the days of the Old Testament.

Numbers In The Bible Series: Day 23 - The Seven Comforters It is not a coincidence that the Holy Spirit of God would be depicted as a dove. It's a wonderful picture - gentle in descent - cooing. God's Spirit gently comes on us - He is not forceful, but "lights" on us. His "cooing" is not a blaring noise or a scream - but a gentle coo - a still small voice, which works in our hearts to woo us to Christ. Thoughts like these bring great comfort to me.

(1 Cor 14:33) Instead, He has left us with the Holy Spirit to draw us to Him. Draw nigh to God, and he w...
