The Holy Spirit

In this episode, we dive into the role and significance of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) in the life of a believer.  Building upon our previous conversation about salvation.The host leads the discussion by examining key scripture passages, exploring how the Spirit functions as a comforter, teacher, intercessor, and source of spiritual gifts.Participants share personal perspectives on how the Holy Spirit manifests in daily life and worship, from internal guidance to physical expressions like crying, shouting, and speaking in tongues.  We look at how the Holy Spirit’s presence shifted from coming upon specific individuals for limited tasks in the Old Testament to abiding universally within modern believers.  We look at Jesus’s ministry transition in Luke 4:18, the gravity of blaspheming the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31–32), and the distribution of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12).  Lastly, we discuss spiritual titles, office capacities, and how historical roles like original apostles and Old Testament prophets fit into broader ministry contexts today.***John 16:7  -  King James Version  -  7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.***Luke 4:18  -  King James Version18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,***John 14:16-18, 26  -  King James Version16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.***John 12:32  -  King James Version32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.***John 16:13  -  King James Version13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.***1 Corinthians 12:4-12  -  King James Version4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.***Romans 8:26-27  -  King James Version26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.***Acts 2:38  -  King James Version38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.***John 15:26  -  King James Version26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:***Matthew 12:31-32  -  King James Version31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.***Ephesians 4:11  -  King James Version11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;***A reprobate mind is a biblical term from Romans 1:28 describing a person who repeatedly rejects God.
