Lesson 8 – Authority of the Holy Spirit

KINGDOM AUTHORITY

Lesson 8

Authority of the Holy Spirit

“But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” (John 16:7)

Kingdom Authority operates in those who house the Holy Spirit. If you do not have the Holy Spirit you don’t know God and certainly can’t please God.

1. If you are saved, the Holy Spirit is within you.

2. When you are saved, you receive the Spirit of God in fullness.

To be controlled by the Holy Spirit you must do two things:

a. yourself

b. Jesus

3. Holy Spirit has one aim and that is to Jesus.

c. Spirit of

“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15)
