Jesus Empowers - The Empowerment of the Holy Spirit | Andy Elmes | 29th September 2024

Following the series on 'Jesus Empowers', this week Ps Andy speaks about the Empowerment of The Holy Spirit. Ps Andy speaks about the Holy Spirit coming into the life of a Believer to provide the power and ability to do a number of things. In this message, he looks at three areas

  • The ability for us to walk in freedom and wholeness
  • The ability to minister to the needs of others - not to be selfish on our Christian walk
  • The provision of moral power, and excellence of soul - ability to say no to things

After describing these at length, he speaks about seven areas where the power of the Holy Spirit works in our lives

  • Transforming us from inside out into the image and the likeness of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18)
  • Providing the boldness to do things such as sharing our faith
  • Providing supernatural ability (Mark 16: 17). Jesus tells His disciples to lay hands on the sick and they will recover, speak in tongues, raise them...this applies to us now 
  • The Holy Spirit consecrates us, giving us the ability to live a life that doesn't sin 
  • To live the life God's called us to. The Bible gives us no excuse not to forgive even when we are hurt
  • He calls us to do the same things that Jesus did when he walked the Earth. Why? Because the Spirit of the Lord that lived upon Him is now the same Spirit upon us. He is anointing us to preach the gospel, set people free. This is not just a Pastors job! 
  • Providing the ability to walk in obedience to the things He asks us to do

The Holy spirit in us gives us everything we need. This is why we are called to be Spirit-filled, Spirit-led and Spirit empowered. This brings glory to God each day, because of the way we choose to live....
