INTRODUCTION: Jesus, before His ascension, told His disciples that His Father would send the Comforter – The Holy Spirit – who would teach and guide all those who believe in Him (John 14:26; 16:7). This promise of Jesus was fulfilled when the Holy Spirit came with power on believers at Pentecost (Acts 2). Now, when a person believes in Christ, the Holy Spirit immediately becomes a part of his life (Romans 8:14; 1 Corinthians 12:13).
LESSON OUTLINES:
- FUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
- OUR THOUGHTS VERSUS THE HOLY SPIRIT’S LEADING
1. FUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit has many functions. Not only does He distribute spiritual gifts according to His will (1 Corinthians 12:7-11), He also reproves (John 16:8), comforts (John 14:16), teaches and reminds (John 14:26) and remains in us as a seal of promise upon our hearts until the day of Jesus’ return (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30). The Holy Spirit also takes on the role of a Guide and Counsellor, leading us in the way we should go and revealing God’s truth (Luke 12:12; 1Corinthians 2:6-10).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Share your experience on how the Holy Spirit has been leading you.
2. OUR THOUGHTS VERSUS THE HOLY SPIRIT’S LEADING
Some believers today are still confused in discerning between their thoughts leading them to do something and the Holy Spirit’s guidance. To identify the one in control at a particular time is a goal we must attain. Some of the things to note about our thoughts include the fact that our desires and feelings may affect or dictate our thought patterns. Thoughts can be unstable and sometimes misleading. It wanders from one end to another. Our thoughts may be sensual (Romans 8:5). It can lead us astray and eventually bring harm. Fear is a product of uncontrolled thoughts. It is important to check with the Holy Spirit even when the thought seems positive.
However, the Holy Spirit can dominate our thoughts (when we have fully surrendered them to Him) and use them to establish the will of God. The Holy Spirit sometimes guides us through our conscience (Romans 9:1). The word of God is one of the most important ways to recognize the Holy Spirit’s guidance (2 Timothy 3:16; 2:15). The Spirit will use it to reveal God’s will to us in times of need (John 16:12-14; 14:26). Knowledge of God’s word helps us to discern whether or not our desires come from the Holy Spirit (Psalm 119:11).
It is also necessary for us to be in continual prayer (in the Spirit) to keep our hearts and minds open to the Holy Spirit’s leading (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Rom. 8:26-27). The leading of the Holy Spirit also brings peace (Romans 15:13).
When we know the will of God but do not follow it, we are resisting the Spirit’s work in our lives (Acts 7:51; 1 Thessalonians 5:19). When we follow our ways, it grieves Him (Ephesians 4:30). The Holy Spirit will never lead us into sin. Habitual sin will cause us to miss what the Holy Spirit wants to say to us through the word.
CLASS ACTIVITY 2: Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10. How sensitive/obedient are you to the Holy Spirit?
