THREE THINGS THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US

THREE THINGS THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US

The first thing the Holy Spirit gives us is LOVE. Next He gives us HOPE , & He gives us LIBERTY.

LOVE:
Loving people is sometimes hard to do. Mostly if you feel that you were wronged by that person or persons. We as Christians cannot do any work for God, that it is acceptable to God without Love. Love will produce fruit. You are not even able to have fellowship with God without love. To God you become as a clanging cymbal.

1 Corinthians 13:1
Though I speak with tongues of men & of angles, but have not love, I become as sounding brass or clanging cymbal.

We need to love others. The Holy Spirit gives us the love of God. Not just for people you love, but for people you do not like. You have to love them also. Let the Holy Spirit give you a heart of love.

Romans 5:5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

We have had that Love of God poured (pass tense) into our hearts. The Holy Spirit has done that for us & He will gives us Love to love the unlovable. There are no barriers now to be able to reach that person or persons.

Titus 2:1 & 2
1) But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine;
2) that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience

Titus tells us to stay in the sound doctrine of God. Love is one of the doctrine of God's. Without love you cannot serve God. Hatred begets Hatred. That is not of God!! But, Love begets Love! So Gods love helps us to love others!! It is by the grace of God to love the man who hates me.

Luke 6: 32 - 35
32) "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For evensinners love those who love them.
33) "And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
34) "And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.
35) "But love your enemies do good, and lend hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest, For He is kind to the thankless & evil,

Love begets Love, It does take the grace of God to love your enemy Remember hate the sin he has done, not the sinner. If a person does not have the Love of God in his heart, he will not have God in his heart. We need to stay in the Word of God to feed upon His Word!.

Hebrews 12:15
looking diligently lest anyone fall short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, & by this many become defiled;

2 Corinthians 5:14 & 15
14) For the love of Christ constrains us, because we judge thus: that if one died for all, then all died.
15) and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them & rose again.

Paul tells us that the love of Christ constrains us. The Holy Spirit gives us love & that we take this love & teach of Christ. People of today does not believe the Word of God is true. This is not new for this world. Jeremiah had this problem also. Look at Jeremiah 32:2 & Jeremiah 20:9, We are to hold the truth of Gods love. Paul put love at the head of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians. Love is the very first one. And really even through the other eight. Joy is love exulting; peace is love in repose; long-suffering is love on trail; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; meekness is love at school; & temperance is love in training.

HOPE:
With out hope you are not useful in Gods work. That means if losing hope is putting you out of communion with God. So he does not have the Spirit of God upon him for any service. There is not a place in the bible where God used a person without hope.

Romans 15:13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy & peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit

We should not become discourage. So, ask God to forgive you of it, that we are cast down & discouraged. And ask God to give us hope through His Holy Spirit.

LIBERTY
We have gone through love, then hope, & now liberty. God does not use men who is in bound up. In today churches there is not a whole lot of liberty. Churches has so much formalism of strict adherence of their religion. They criticize church as you would a move or on stage performance. They no longer listen to what actually the man of God is saying. They want to be entertain, we go to church to receive the Word of God. I know that is harsh to say, but it is the truth! I would call it a carnally mind set. If you want liberty you must receive the Spoken Word of God.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit; & where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty

Romans 8:21
because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Galatians 5:1 & 13
1) Stand fast therefore inn the liberty by which Christ has made us free, & do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
13) For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

James 1:25
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty & continues in it, & is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

1 Peter 2:16
as free, yet not using your liberty as a cloak for vice, but as servants of God.

Some people will not do the work of God, even when you tell them how good they would be. They will say: I have a life, where really they are tied up in bondage.. What would have happen if Christ said I had a life. What about all the men & women of the Bible said that also. Christ came to set us free! And He wants us to work & speak for Him. Even some will not even pray in a prayer meeting when they are asked to say a prayer or have a few words about Christ. That is very much a cold spirit in the church. The only reason they went in the first place was they felt it was their duty. Instead of a privilege!! That just is not right.

We need the Holy Spirit to give us these three things -- Love, Hope, Liberty. Placing them in our hearts! Don't you want Love, Hope, Liberty? I sure do. We need to pray daily for the renewing of these in our life, so we can enter boldly into Holy of the Holies.

Hebrews 10:19
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

It is a poor life to just live for sake of self. That gets us no where. We need to be used of God. To be a Sanctified Vessel of Him!!

2 Timothy 2:21
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified & useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:17
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

AMEN & AMEN
