In this new series, "Jesus Continued," based on JD Greear's book, we delve into the often overlooked but essential aspect of the Christian life: being filled with the Spirit of God. Many Christians find themselves on one of two extremes regarding the Holy Spirit: some are obsessed, seeking mystical experiences, while others largely ignore Him. However, Jesus himself emphasized the importance of the Holy Spirit, promising that it was to their advantage that he go away so they could receive the Holy Spirit. Throughout John 14–16, Jesus speaks about the Holy Spirit over twenty times, underlining His significance. The Holy Spirit makes the presence of God real to us (John 14:18): Just as God desired to be present with His people throughout history, through the Holy Spirit, He is even closer, dwelling within believers. The Holy Spirit makes the power of God alive in us (John 15:5): Rather than mechanical growth, the Holy Spirit facilitates organic growth in believers, producing spiritual fruit. The Holy Spirit makes the mission of God personal to us (John 14:12): Jesus promised that believers would do greater works than He did because He was going to the Father. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to fulfill the mission of God. To live a victorious Christian life, one must be filled with the Spirit, abiding in His presence, surrendering to His power, and allowing Him to guide in the mission of God. Join us in this series as we explore the significance of the Holy Spirit and how being filled with Him is essential for thriving in the Christian life. #JesusContinued #HolySpirit #ChristianLife #SpiritFilled #JDGreear #ThriveInFaith #PresenceOfGod #PowerOfGod #MissionOfGod #AbideInChrist #SpiritualGrowth #VictoriousChristianity To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.tcogv.org/give Real People, Real Problems, God’s Real Promises.

Ever noticed how a simple night light can calm our fears in the darkness? Just like how we train kids to sleep with a night light, we, too, are called to be night lights in a world filled with fear and chaos. In John 13-14, Jesus comforts His disciples in a dark moment, assuring them of His presence and promising them the Holy Spirit. He tells them that they will do even greater things than He did, but how? It's a two-fold process: obedience to His Word and reliance on His Holy Spirit. The Word and the Spirit go hand in hand. Without the Spirit, the Word remains dormant; without the Word, the Spirit lacks direction. We often find ourselves leaning towards one extreme or the other: pursuing spiritual experiences without grounding in the Word, or studying the Word without engaging with the Spirit. But true power comes from the synergy of both. Consider Brennan's story: struggling with addiction, he found victory not through his efforts alone, but by leaning on the Holy Spirit. The Spirit brings the Word alive, empowers obedience, and guides us through life's challenges. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would be a better teacher and guide than even He was. His presence within us is not just advantageous but essential for victorious Christian living. As we navigate this world of darkness and uncertainty, let's embrace the dynamic relationship between the Word and the Spirit. Let's allow the Spirit to illuminate the Word in our hearts, leading us into deeper relationship with Christ and empowering us for His mission. Has Christianity become personal for you? Have you discovered your unique role in God's kingdom? It's time to move from good ideas to God ideas and see Christianity explode in our lives. #NightLightFaith #WordandSpiritSynergy #HolySpiritGuidance #VictoriousChristianLiving #DynamicFaith #IlluminateTheWord #SpiritualEmpowerment #ChristianJourney #FromIdeasToGodIdeas #ExplodingFaith To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.tcogv.org/give Real People, Real Problems, God’s Real Promises.
