This conference was held in the spring 2013 in Colorado. It complements the two previous Bible conferences held in Arkansas and Northern Virginia.In addition to being styled "an apostle to the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13), Paul could also be called the apostle of the Mystery. This "mystery" contained new revelation intended for a new people—the Church—living in a new age or dispensation of God’s plan.
"now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, but now made manifest, and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith …" Rom 16:25–26

The Spirit as Wind- regeneration
Five things in the life of Jesus Christ that God wants for our lives: anointing of the Spirit, filled with the Spirit (empty of yourself 2ti 2:21, joh 13:6-11), led by the Spirit even into difficulty, gain strength and victory, resulting in power and grace by the Holy Spirit.
Starting point is new birth. Our goal is to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Joh 3:1-5 Eze 36:24-28 Tit 3:5 Eph 5:26 The Spirit of God taking the Word of God in the believing soul to make a new creature.
Five Old Testament figures of the Holy Spirit: water Joh 7:37-39 Eze 36:24-25, wind Job 30:22, fire (can comfort or consume anything that shouldn’t be in our lives) burning bush, oil (in the temple it illuminated the bread, the Spirit will always shed light on Jesus the Bread of Life, used in healing and restoring), dove (Noah and the flood).
Joh 3:5-8 The first work the Spirit of God must do in our life is anoint us by giving us new birth. Joh 3:16
Did Nicodemus receive Christ? Yes, with Joseph of Arimathea. Nicodemus contributed 100 weight of spices, the amount for a king. Joh 19:38-39
Where will you spend eternity?
This eternal member of the Godhead, has condescended to dwell in you, and has humbled Himself to be your helper, to wait for our invitation, to cleanse, to wash our feet when we give Him permission. “Let the Word of Christ richly indwell you.” Permit Him to do what He came to do.
