TOPIC: Who Is The Holy Spirit? (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 9 December 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 24-26
FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 15:16-26 (KJV)
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
MEMORY VERSE: “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” – John 14:26
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
The work of the Holy Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ and to guide us into the truth.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
YOU WILL ENCOUNTER THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A NEW WAY AND BECOME A NEW PERSON TO THE GLORY OF GOD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Mountain Top Life MESSAGE:
Our devotional study is the continuation of who the Holy Spirit is. Yesterday, we learnt that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead and that He is a person and not a thing or an ordinary influence.

The Holy Spirit is also the believer’s Sanctifier. The Bible says you are sanctified and justified by the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 6:11). The Holy Spirit is the One that makes you to be closer to Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). The glory that the Holy Spirit imparts into you is more excellent and lasts longer. As your knowledge deepens, the Holy Spirit will help you to change and become Christ-like. The Holy Spirit is the One that will help you to do the will of the Father. In Acts 8:29, Philip found the Ethiopian eunuch and through the leading of the Holy Spirit he was able to convert the man to Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the giver of gifts. Ask Him to baptise you with His gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). He will give you hope (Romans 15:13). He will guide you in prayer so that you will not pray amiss (Romans 8:26). When you don’t know the right words to pray, the Holy Spirit prays with you and for you and God will answer. Ask the Holy Spirit to plead for you according to the will of God. Bring your requests to God; trust that He will always do what is best.
The Acts of Apostles is replete with the wonderful works of the Holy Spirit through chosen vessels of God. It was the Holy Spirit that enabled Stephen to do great wonders and miracles among the people (Acts 6:8). The same Holy Spirit empowered Philip to preach Christ, win souls and perform miracles in Samaria, so much that there was a great joy in the city (Acts 8:5-8). It was the Holy Spirit that made the shadow of Peter so anointed that it ministered healing to the sick (Acts 5:15-16) and the apron from the body of Apostle Paul also ministered healing (Acts 19:11-12). Beloved, the same Holy Spirit is willing to overshadow you and turn you to a new man or woman. Are you ready and willing?
