Luke 11:13
Acts 2:38
John 16:7
The church should be a continuation of the incarnation. The power that was in Jesus is now residing in millions of His followers, and so in that sense Jesus said it is better that He go so that as the church we can do greater things, reach more people.
Acts 8:14-17
Greek word: baptisio... Means to dip
Just like back in the day in the big trade of cloth dying, the cloth was dipped in the dye and the cloth took on the characteristics of the dye; the cloth was in the dye and the dye was in the cloth. In like manner the holy spirit indwells in the believer and the believer takes on the characteristics of Him.
There holy spirit wakes us up to God's Word. He can take the word written thousands on years ago to someone else, and make it applicable and relevant to your life today.
He brings everything back to memory.
Romans 8:26-27
John 11:33
Ephesians 5:18-20
There holy spirit encourages believers to worship.
The holy spirit enables us to live free.
Romans 8:12-13
Mark 16:17-18
Jesus asked is it easier to heal or say your sins are forgiven? It's easier to say your sins are forgiven because you can't see sin. But to heal? That demonstrates the power in you. So Jesus healed and said go, your sins are forgiven... If he can heal you, surely he can forgive your sins.
Acts 1:8
So believers, ask for the Holy Spirit in you, and demonstrate the power of God to prove what you say.
Luke 11:9-13
