RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 7TH MAY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT [2].

?And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dewlleth with you, and shall be in you?. John 14: 16 ? 17.

The Promise Of The Holy Spirit Consists Of Four Elements:

FIRST, Jesus Promises A Supernatural Helper. He called Him another Comforter, which means :another who is identical. He is sending us exactly the sort of Helper He was, except the Spirit lives in us (John 14: 17).

SECOND, The Promise Means Supernatural Life For Us. When we are saved and have the Holy Spirit, we become sensitive to Christ's working in the world, and we begin to see things from a divine perspective (John 14: 19).

THIRD, The Spirit Comes As A Supernatural Teacher (John 14: 26). This is one of the most vital aspects of the Spirit's ministry because it reminds us of our complete dependence on Christ.

Finally, Christ's Promise Of The Holy Spirit Brings A Supernatural Peace (John 14: 27). This is a peace that aggressively and positively deals with our daily troubles and turns them into joy (Philippians 4: 7).

If you know and love the Lord Jesus and are obeying Him, the promise of the Spirit, with all its implications, is available for you to apply and enjoy (John 14: 21; 15: 5).
