I’m Spirit Filled – Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
I’m Spirit Filled – Hallelujah!
Be patient, it can take a long time for the Fruits of the Spirit to grow within you. Just pray and know that God is working in you everyday.
Galatians 5 talks about the fruits of the Spirit. They are love, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Luke 3: One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”
Abby: I played in an inflatable pool today. It was so fun!
Jerry: Awesome! You know, water’s very important in the Bible. The woman at the well. The flood. And when Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan, the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit came to earth like a dove. Then God said, “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy!”
Abby: My experience was a little different.
Abby: I jumped out of the water and rolled in dirt as my master called me a “bad girl!”
The Holy Trinity confuses Nim…as usual.
Transcript:
Con: You gave a speech about the Holy Trinity in Sunday School? Awesome! Tell me about it.
Nim: God is made up of three parts: The Father, The Son and The Holy Moly!
Con: You mean The Holy Spirit.
Nim: Hmm…are you sure?
Con: Positive.
Nim. Oh.
Nim: That would explain why my children’s minister put his face in his hands.
Matthew 28:19 says…
Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Nim explains to Abby that our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”
This weekend is the Pentecost, which marks the occasion of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, (Acts 2). Some Christians call it the “Birthday of the Church.”
