The Spirit as Dove- teacher and encourager.
1co 1:20-25
Jesus in Luke 3-4. In Christ we are accepted in the Beloved. He looks at you with the same pleasure as He does in His Son.
5 stages of the ministry of the Spirit that He wants to do in our lives as well.
He comes upon us the moment we believe in Christ, He wants to fill our lives so He can lead us in the way He wants us to go, and give us His power to equip us to accomplish His purpose for us, to reach out to someone and minister to them.
Wherever you are, keep growing in your faith, keep trusting in God’s Word and resting in His Spirit, and you will be a blessing in someone else’s life. Don’t ever give up or quit.
Spirit as Wind, Spirit as Water, Spirit as Fire, Spirit as Oil, Spirit as a Dove
The dove is a symbol of purity and innocence, but also equipping to ministry. Mat 9:35-38 He was gripped and overcome with compassion for them.
He wants to equip every one of us to be a minister of the grace of God.
Joh 15:26
Are you going to allow the Spirit of God to act as a dove in your life so you can have gentle, compassionate, caring ministry in the life of someone else? 1pe 3:15 Joh 16:7-15 1pe 2:24
2co 5:14-21 Ministry must be done in the Spirit. You deal with the souls of people with the compassion of Jesus Christ. Joh 3:16
