Holy Spirit 3- The Holy Spirit of Wine

Image
By

Many symbols/things are used by the Scripture to give us insight about the nature, ability and character of the Holy Spirit. We will look at them one after the other.

The HOLY SPIRIT AS WINE
Eph. 6:18- says Be not drunk with wine which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit.

Pls, understand that Paul wasn't encouraging the consumption of liquor. Some ignoramuses have linked this scripture with the admonition of Paul to Timothy to take wine because of his health. Paul used the analogy of the intoxicating power of wine to describe the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is referred to by Jesus as THE NEW WINE.

It's possible to be filled with the Holy Ghost to the point of intoxication so much that you can begin to stagger/walk like a drunk person. I have seen a lady that was under this intoxicating power for 3 days stretch. She couldn't speak in any other language except TONGUES. She had to carry a notepad and pen around to express herself. Pastor Chris Delvan once said that a Bank Teller came under the influence for almost 2 days. She had to be carried home from Church that Sunday afternoon. She couldn't go to work. Neighbors, friends, colleagues and boss at work that came looking for her benefited from the keen prophetic gift with which she ministered to them individually.

This dimension of the Spirit is very contagious and its various manifestations like: Singing, laughing, dancing, etc are very wonderful to experience and behold. Apostle Paul listed some effects of being filled (to the brim) with the Spirit in Eph. 5:19-21. Speaking to yourselves in PSALMS (spiritual poem/ode-it may/may not rhyme but, it has a flavour of poetry), HYMNS (not the ones in Baptist Hymnal), SPIRITUAL SONGS (they contain the revelation of God's word to you), SINGING AND MAKING MELODIES IN YOUR HEART sine GOD, GIVING THANKS TO GOD AND SUBMITTING TO ONE ANOTHER.

These are very awesome and wonderfully needed experiences today. The Holy Spirit as Wine refers to His ability to impart boldness to do God's Will. You know God has a good sense of humor. It's wonderful to see pple drunk in the Spirit. I've been there before. The New Wine is good. You get high in the Spirit, worry, fear, anxiety, depression and all the bondages of the Devil lose their grip over you. You will no longer be contained and restricted.

Whao! Glory to God. Eph. 6:18 from the Greek denotes a continuous action. BUT BE BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. Hallelujah. You can partake of the New Wine ANY DAY and ANY TIME by speaking in other tongues. Stay put until you are filled. Hallelujah. READ AND SHARE.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T

Holy Spirit 8- The symbol of Oil

By
1 Sam.16:13, Is.61:1,PS.23:5,92:10. The Oil typifies ANOINTING UPON & WITHIN A PERSON. It's an empowerment for God's Service. In the old testament, the anointing comes only on THE PRIESTS, KINGS AND PROPHETS to perform spiritual tasks. The rule hasn't changed now just THAT ALL BELIEVERS have been brought in. The anointing is NOT THAT oil you carry about in the bottle. One man of God in Nigeria once said 'THE ANOINTING IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A BOTTLE'. That statement is completely heretical. To appreciate the Oil Dimension of the Holy Spirit, let's look at d making of the HOLY ANOINTING OIL in old testament. Song of Songs 1 vs. 3 'Because of the savour of thy ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee'  Ex. 30 vs. 22-25 THE HOLY ANOINTING OIL as described in Ex. 30 typifies  THE LIFE-GIVING DIMENSION. 1Cor.15:45. The holy anointing oil is compounded after the order of the Divine Apothecary-like a pharm
