Not Alone (An orphan Mentality)
John 14:18
Jesus was with the disciples for 3 and a half years.
All that time they did not have to figure out life.
Jesus was in their midst to lead and guide.
But He will be crucified, and no longer with them.
John 16:7 – expedient – profitable.
Jesus ministry on earth will continue, no less, but as the same with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is always present. 24/7
Wherever Jesus was the kingdom was manifested with signs and wonders. People were experiencing heaven on earth.
Greater works – cannot be done apart from the Spirit.
Tarry until the Spirit comes, do nothing but wait. (Acts 1:4-5)
1 Peter 1:12 – The ever-present reality of Jesus by the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is always present. (1 Cor 6:17) one with the Spirit.
Example of fly in the room, it has been there all the time, and no one noticed.
Practice the presence of God. (S. Wigglesworth either read the bible or prayed every 15 minutes) Hard to do?
Yet we have something as a constant on us 24/7 at one time it was impossible.
Many also have a separation mode going on with the Holy Spirit.
Example: most of us charged our cell phones last night.
In order to bring them we had to unplug.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to make everything God a reality.
John 16:13 – Bible study, prayer, healing, deliverance etc.
When we see a manifestation of heaven on earth it was by the Spirit in us or someone else. But always by the Spirit.
