4. Three Essentials for NT Spiritual Leadership
We must have a growing knowledge of God’s Word
We must learn to live in power of God’s Spirit
We must learn to live from the center of prayer

5. God’s Word (The only foundation for clear thinking)
The Spirit
Prayer
God’s Word (The only foundation for clear thinking)

6. I. It’s a brand new day…
Promise given (PG) John 14:16-17 John 15:26-27 John 16:7-15 Acts 1:4-5

7. Today: We must learn to live in power of God’s Spirit
Promise Fulfilled
Acts 2:1-4 – Jews
Acts 5:32
Acts 8:14-17 – Samaritans
Acts 10:30-35, – Gentiles
Acts 11:15-16 (Recounted)
Acts 15:8-9 (Recounted again)
Acts 19:2-6 – OT believers brought into the NT

8. What does this mean?
Promise Explained “For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” (1 Cor. 12:13, NIV84)

9. Every Christian’s new covenant birthright is the indwelling Holy Spirit
Acts 5:32 Romans 8:11; 5:5 Titus 3:6 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 12:13 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, etc. Romans 8:9, 12 Galatians 5:16-26

10. Promise Worked Out in Our Lives
Ephesians 5:18-21 “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

11. II. The Work of God’s Spirit in my life
The HS creates life
The HS speaks truth into my life
The HS is the presence of God in my life
The HS enables you to speak for God

12. II. The Work of God’s Spirit in my life
The HS directed the ministry of the early church
The HS directed decision-making in the early church
Sometimes the HS spoke one thing to one and something else to another w/o contradiction

13. Bottom line…
Ephesians 5:18-21 “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
