Fundamentals Of The Faith Pneumatology— The Person And W ork Of The Holy Spirit— Part II Raymond Pruitt II. The W ork of the Holy Spirit The work of the Spirit may be summed up under the following headings: His work in the creation and preservation of the universe; His work among men in general; His work in relation to the Scriptures; His work in relation to Jesus Christ; His work in the believer. In general it may be said that it is the special task of the Holy Spirit to bring God's purpose to completion by acting immediately upon and in the creature. Just as He Himself is the Person who completes the Trinity, so His unique opera ad extra activity is to bring to completion God's purpose in His creatures and in the finishing of God's work in every sphere. His work follows the work of the Son, just as the work of the Son follows that of the Father. This is a point which should never be forgotten, for if the work of the Spirit is divorced from that of the Son, distortions and excesses arise which corrupt the scriptural teaching regarding His nature and work. Jesus said of Him, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:13-15).

1 His work in the creation and preservation of the universe. a The generation of life is mediated by the Holy Ghost (Gen. 1:3; Job 26:13; Psa. 104:30; 33:6). The Trinity is credited with the creation in Psalm 33:6: "By the word (the Son) of the Lord (the Father) were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath (the Spirit) of his mouth." It may be said that the Father created all things through the agency of the W ord and the Spirit. The role of the Spirit is prominent in the creation (Gen. 1:2), as He puts the finishing touch to everything initiated in the creation. b His work in the preservation of nature and the continuation of its cycles. "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it" (Isa. 40:7). He is in the fading colors of autumn, the fierce blast of winter, the regeneration of life in the springtime, and in the warm breezes of the summer.

2. His work among men in general. a. He reproves the world. If His primary work to believers is that of teacher and interpreter, He is the accuser to the world. "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because go to my Father, and me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged" (John 16:8-11). b. He bears a constant witness of Christ and His finished work on Calvary to the world of unregenerate mankind. The Spirit of truth he shall testify of me" (John 15:26). "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost" (Acts 5:3 lie inspires and qualifies men for their work in government, science, art, etc. (Ex. 28:3; 31:2-6; 35:35; 1 Sam. 11:6, 7; 16:13, 14). This is true in the sense that God is the Source of every good thing. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from. above, and cometh down from the Father of lights" (James 1:17). God is not, however, responsible for the evil things men do in these areas. Satan leads wicked men to misuse their talents.

3. His work in relation to the Scriptures. a. He is the Author of the Scriptures. "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Pet. 1:21). "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16), which is to say, by the inbreathing of God (Theopneustos)."Hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches," (Rev. 2 and 3). b. He is the Interpreter of the Scriptures. He is ". . . the Spirit of wisdom and revelation . . ." (Eph. 1:17; see also 1Cor. 2:10).

"He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:14).

4. His work in relation to Jesus Christ. a. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost. "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee' therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35). b. He was anointed by the Holy Ghost. "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38). c. He offered Himself through the Spirit in the crucifixion. "W ho through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God" (Heb. 9:14). d. He was resurrected through the power of the Spirit. "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead" (Rom. 1:4); "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" (Rom. 8:11). e. He gave commandments to His disciples and the church through the Holy Spirit. ". . . after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen" (Acts 1:2). f. The Holy Ghost bears witness of Christ. "He shall testify of me" (John 1526); "He shall not speak of himself He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:13, 14).

5. His work in the believer.

It is the work of the Spirit to make effective in the hearts and lives of believers all that Christ has

accomplished in His death, resurrection, ascension, and session at the right hand of the Father. a. The Holy Spirit regenerates. "Born . . . of the Spirit" (John 3:3-5); ". . . by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Tit. 3:5); "It is the spirit that quickeneth" (John 6:63). "Just as Jesus was begotten of the Holy Ghost, so must every child of God who is to be an heir to the kingdom." b. The Spirit seals the believer with the assurance of salvation. "In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance" (Eph. 1:13, 14); ". . . the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption" (Eph. 4:30). The seal of the Holy Spirit stands for ownership and for likeness. It means that we belong to Christ, having been adopted by Him, and that we are conformed to His image (cf. 2 Tim. 2:19-21). After effecting the new birth in the believer, the Holy Ghost confirms it with His assurance in our hearts. c. The Holy Ghost is also the Sanctifier. As He is the Regenerator, so also, He is the Sanctifier". . . being sanctified by the Holy Ghost" (Rom. 15:16); ". . . ye are washed . . . ye are sanctified . . - by the Spirit of our God" (1 Cor. 6:11); ". . . through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth" (2 Thess. 2:13); ". . . through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ" (1 Pet. 1:2).

As Regenerator and Sanctifier, the Holy Ghost works within the heart and life of the believer. He is not out there somewhere applying the finished work of Christ in us by remote control, but is within us, at the heart of our need. And unless the Spirit has worked in us in that sense, we are not saved or sanctified, for this is exclusively the office work of the Spirit. It was regarding this aspect of His nature that Paul wrote in Romans 8:9, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his".

Furthermore, the Holy Spirit regenerates and sanctifies not as an end, but that He might go on to make our hearts His dwelling place by baptizing us with His fullness. The end of sanctification is that God the Holy Spirit might dwell within the tabernacle of our being.

Sanctification is the essential preparation necessary before He can come in to dwell as Companion and Paraclete. W hen viewed from this perspective, one might think of sanctification as a negative, as well as a positive, work. John MacNeil explains: Another mistake to be carefully guarded against is this, making "cleansing" to be an end instead of a means to an end. "Cleansing" is not the blessing that we are seeking; it is only a means. The end is the "Filling of the Holy Ghost." "Cleansing" is a negative blessing, the separating from sin, but we can only be satisfied with a positive blessing. W hen the housewife cleans the house, does she then go out and live in the yard? Not so. She cleans the house that it may be more fit for her to inhabit. God cleanses, "empties, sweeps, and garnishes" (Matt. 12:44), that He may come in to dwell; and if He, the Holy One, does come and take up His abode, He will keep His dwelling place "clean." d. The fullness of the Spirit. The filling of the Spirit, or the baptism of the Spirit, as we have seen, is an experience beyond regeneration and sanctification. It was not until after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ that the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the saints. (W e will deal more with the meaning of Pentecost a little later on in this study.) He came as the promised Comforter (Helper, Companion) which Jesus said He would send, but He could not come before Christ had completed His work and returned to the Father. "It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (John16:7).

W hen the Holy Spirit fills a person with His fullness, He makes the work of God real in him through His ministry of enlightening, guiding, empowering, cleansing, anointing and teaching. The word which is translated Comforter is "Parakleetos", which means "Helper," "Companion". W hatever it is the Spirit-filled believer needs, he has it in the Person of the Holy Spirit (cf. John 14:16,17, 26; 15:26; 16:7.15).

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a stage of salvation that was accomplished in regeneration and sanctification but an enduement of power for service, and equipping, and an enablement for serving the Lord and for living an abundant life in Christ. This does not mean that the baptism of the Spirit is optional a good thing to have, but not essential to salvation. On the contrary, it is a command to be obeyed, being fundamental to the Christian life and service. As urgent as it was that the Great Commission should be fulfilled, Jesus told the disciples to first "tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Before He was ascended, He told the disciples, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you" (Acts 1:8). The leaders of the early Church were insistent that the Christians be filled with the Spirit. For example, note Paul's command to the Ephesians: "Be filled with the Spirit" (Eph. 5:18).

W e are here on earth that through us Christ may be glorified; but there is only one Person that can glorify Christ, and that is the Holy Ghost. "He shall glorify me" (John 16:14). To the glorifying of Christ as He ought to be and might be glorified, the filling with the Spirit is necessary.

The Holy Ghost gives the Christian constant and victory over sin. W hile he is still in the flesh, he does not have to be under the power of the flesh, but can walk in the Spirit 8:12, 13; Gal. 5:16, 26). One cannot walk in the Spirit truest sense until he is filled with the Spirit. In this we are again reminded of the Spirit's work of bringing to completion that which God has initiated in His creatures. W ithout the fullness of the Spirit, the believer is living on the wrong side of Pentecost.

A careful study of seventh and eighth chapters of Romans will show a remarkable change in the life of the Spirit-filled believer as contrasted to the one who has not yet been sanctified and filled with the Spirit. The eighth chapter speaks of the triumphant life of the believer; the seventh chapter portrays a constant conflict between the fleshly nature and the nature of Christ. The difference lies in the sanctifying power of Christ wrought by the Holy Ghost 290 (cf. Rom. 7:24, 25 and 8:2), and the fullness of the Spirit, which is assumed in the eighth chapter of Romans (cf. 8:1, 4, 5, 9, 11, 13,14, 26, 27). The contrast between the Spirit-filled life and one which is still being lived in the flesh is seen in the comparison of Romans7:25 with 8:31-39. The one is in bondage and oppressed; the other rejoices in the Lord and in the thrilling assurance of His love.

Part III next issue

Chickasaw: We celebrated our pastor’s birthday with a surprise “Peanut Butter Party” and had our monthly birthday cake as well.

Our ladies and men went out to eat separately and both groups had a wonderful time. We were able to raise money to send six children to Outreach Camp. Our women came out victorious against our men in a contest and the men were rewarded with pies in the face! OH!! We had great fun in our fellowship.

Collinsville-Harvest Center: We prepared both spiritually and aesthetically to celebrate Pentecost Sunday with the expectation of a mighty encounter with the Holy Spirit.

We were not disappointed. From the very beginning with prayer, scripture reading, and worship, we sensed the very pathos of God wanting to renew God’s church. Along with a powerful prayer time with tongues speech and interpretation, there was a special unction in the pulpit to bring the Word.

Pentecost however, is not a once a year celebration but is an ongoing work of the Spirit that we are still seeking and asking God to help us experience.

Gadsden-Living Waters: We began the month with a group attending a Passover Seder with the congregation from Beth Halell in Birmingham. Our couple’s Ministry enjoyed a night out on the 11th with a trip to Red Lobster. We are thankful for the way in which the Holy Spirit is moving here at Gadsden.

Goodwater-Joyful Praise: We had our Praise Dance Anniversary on April 18th. It was very successful.

Greenpond: He Lives! He Lives!

Christ Jesus lives today. The Youth

and Children’s Ministry presented a wonderful Easter program. The children enjoyed an egg hunt with one hundred children, and with the adults helping, made the day a great success.

Hotdogs were served afterwards. The weather for the ‘Walk to Calvary’ couldn’t have been better. The seven mile walk, carrying the cross was a blessing.

There were more honks and waves on this walk than ever before. Our Bessemer District Meeting/Revival was great with the presence of the Lord in each service. The church was filled with people ready to worship.

Brother Burchfield, Brother Gary Linkous and Brother Ken Humphries were the speakers and each blessed us with their inspiring message. Our Seniors enjoyed a fun filled trip to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center and dinner followed at The Old Cookstove Restaurant. The Seniors also enjoyed a day picking strawberries.

Haleyville-Pathway: We are having open youth night every 2nd and 4th Friday night at Pathway, starting at 7:00 pm. Come see what God is doing. Our youth are planning a trip to Soul Stock. We are expecting a

great time.

Hope everyone has a blessed summer and remember to take Christ with you whereever you go!

Happy Hill: We enjoyed our Homecoming on April 24th. Also, we had one soul to receive Christ.

Praise God! Jasper-Airport Road: We enjoyed a wonderful singing with Point of Grace.

Also, were blessed with two members, Bill and Denise Clark.

Brother and Sister Clark have really been a blessing and added beautiful praise and worship to our services which we have been praying for.

Also, thanking God for Joel and Sue King transferring in. Thank God for Spirit services and lives of people being changed. Sister Piper blessed us with a beautiful Easter program. Pray that God will bless and we will follow Him. Leesburg: During the month, we had two guest speakers. Carol Chesnut gave her testimony about getting a new heart from an organ donor and Jack Douglas spoke to us about ‘What will we do that will last eternally?’. The Senior Adults had a yard sale as a fund-raiser.

Short Creek: To God be the glory, great things He has done!! We praise God for a wonderful group of people. God has blessed us with new faces in this season of newness.

The Holy Spirit is at work bringing the “Revival Spirit” to each one.

We have been working to raise the monies necessary to send our Youth and Children to summer camp. We have raise over $1,200 through the sale of our homemade candies and

dinners. The Youth have been faithful to help with this endeavor.

We love you all and look forward to seeing everyone at the coming State Convention.

Prayers for our Overseer and all who make this possible.

Sterrett: Thank God for four new member: Sydney Gann, Maddie Gann, Lilli Whitfield, Brooklyn Castleberry.

Tarrant: What a blessed month.

The children enjoyed a visit from the Easter bunny; we participated in the Community Easter Sunrise Service; Ruth Lewis directed an awesome Easter Play; we celebrated the birthdays at the Presbyterian Manor and our ladies were honored to be asked to prepare a luncheon for Mayor Tuck and her staff. We ended the month with an Old Fashion Holy Ghost Birmingham District Revival. Each night was filled with good attendance and Souls were blessed because God was in the house.

Winfield City Family: God is doing great things in Winfield. We thank God for four new members and one received the Baptism of Holy Ghost during Sunday morning service. His Spirit is rich and mighty. We need more of you Lord! Keep us in your prayers as we work on the new building on Hwy 129 and corner of Covrt Street.

Camps are happening in Alabama.

Pray for our children.

Go. The boldness and enthusiasm of the early church was amazing. I was thrilled to see this presented in A.D., to see the determination on their faces. This kind of boldness and determination comes only through extreme faith and experiencing the power of Holy Spirit. Going was their entire purpose in life. It is what they lived to do. W e must get to the point today that we accept that our purpose in life is to share and bring glory to God. This is the reason we are here.

ÈÈÈÈ Tips For Abundant Life Carolyn Guyton Be the church. I have been watching the television series, A.D. The Bible Continues.

I’ve read the W ord and heard it preached all my life, but it is amazing how watching this portrayal makes it so real. W e are all aware that the church is not the building where we attend services, but it us.

Realizing that we are seeing prophecy being fulfilled all around us, we know we must step up and be the last days’ church. I would like to share what has become so real to me.

Extreme Faith. This series has made me aware of the incredible amount of faith Jesus’ disciples had to be able to stand up for Him after He ascended. It’s easy for me to read about Him and trust that the Bible is true and by faith share with others. But these people physically walked with Him and looked at Him and touched Him. Although they believed what He told them, and personally experienced seeing Him die and then seeing Him alive again, He had been a human like them. As with the early church, we must have extreme faith in order to stand up for Him in these last days.

Experience Holy Spirit. One of the high points of this series for me is when the Holy Ghost fell on them in the upper room. They were gathered together praying and seeking God, none of them truly understanding this new thing that was about to happen, but yet completely open to it. It was only after this experience that they could effectively go out and reach others. W e must gather together and seek for, and willingly accept and receive, the new things of Holy Spirit. Just as that was a new day, so is this. I don’t believe what we have experienced in the past is going to take us through.

Seek every day for the abundant life that only comes from God. For free e-book, subscribe to Live! mailing list at liveyourfullestlife.com faceb o o k.co m /liveyo urfullestlife; cguyton2@att.net
