Proverbs 20 - Filled With The Spirit (notes)

Proverbs 20 - Filled With The Spirit

Proverbs 20:1

• Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
• Do not get drunk on wine, because that will ruin you life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 5:19-20

• 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.

Don’t Get Drunk

• On wine which leads to reckless actions, but be filled with the Spirit. When people get drunk with alcohol they commit reckless acts. They don’t even remember what they did when drunk.
• Drunk drivers kill innocent victims, girls get pregnant not even knowing who they were with, and men destroy their families.

Galatians 5:16

• Admonishes us to “…live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.”
• For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.
• Walk in the Spirit and you will see power over sin’s impulses. When we walk in the Spirit we will become conquerors. This is why God calls us more than conquerors.

God Says To Us

• Live by the Spirit, stay in step with the Spirit, be filled with the Spirit.
• What do we consume our minds with, what do we think about throughout the day.
• When we pray in the Spirit throughout the day, when we stay tuned to God’s voice, we will prosper in everything we do. We will not fail to please God, we will not fail in anything we do.

On The Day

• Of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was given to the church so the church could accomplish its purpose in the church age.
• The purpose of the church is to bring heaven down to earth by proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom to every generation.
• The greatest revival of all time is starting to break out in our day. A new Pentecost is happening all over the world right now!

Throughout History

• There have been great revivals where the Holy Spirit was poured out and people spoke in tongues and the fire of God was seen in various places.
• Miracles were common, people were healed supernaturally, millions saved and many signs and wonders were seen by those living during those revivals.
• Example of the Indonesian Revival in 1965 where the dead were raised, the fire was seen on top of the church and millions saved.

The Baptism

• In the Holy Spirit gives the believer power Acts 1:8
During revival there is an intensity of the presence and glory of God upon people & places.
• The power of God is available to everyone here right now.
• If you are baptized in the Spirit I encourage you to pray in the Spirit and if you are not you can be filled today.

God Wants

There is a Process to walking in the Spirit

The Spirit has a language:

1. Tongues.
2. The Word-Rhema & Logos.
3. Visions and dreams.
4. A still small voice.
5. Audible and inner voice of God.
6. Prophecy.
7. Words in proverbs.

Principles:

• Everyone has a divine potential. That potential is released by the Holy Spirit when He anoints us.
• Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit coming upon us.
• Jesus is the baptizer in the Spirit.
