Do You Know the Holy Spirit?

Jan 18, 2021

How well do you know the Holy Spirit? You might be able to talk a good game when it comes to things like the Trinity, the history of the Early Church, or know where you stand on supernatural gifts, but do these things affect your present reality? Do you have an active, thriving relationship with God the Spirit? If He spoke to you in the next couple of minutes, would you know His voice and respond with obedience?

 

Global Frontier Missions’ Missionary Training School offers a week focused on this. The class takes to look at what the Scriptures say about the role of the Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. Building on this foundation, the students examine and discuss the book of Acts, baptism in the Spirit, and the presence of spiritual gifts in the church today.

 

Every day, there are amazing outpourings of God’s Spirit all around the world where God is confirming His message through signs, wonders, and supernatural work. We want our Missionary Training School students to graduate feeling prepared to experience the spiritual realm with confidence.

One cannot read Romans 8 without getting excited about the Holy Spirit. It is through the Spirit that we experience freedom in Christ. He gives us life and peace when we set our minds on Him. He bears witness that we are the children of God, fellow heirs with Christ. He helps us in our weakness and intercedes on our behalf. What an awe-striking reality it is that the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in us!

In last semester’s focus on the Holy Spirit, one of our trainers told the students, “You cannot unknow what you know.” As Christians, we have seen God at work in Scripture and our personal lives. We have heard the testimonies of others. There is no denying God’s amazing work. We cannot unknow these things.

May we all continue to grow deeper in love with the Spirit, know His voice, and see Him poured out among the unreached.
