Which refers to the work of Pentecost until then. John 3:8 compares the Holy Spirit to the wind. 2 Peter 1:21 only records the Holy Spirit inspired (or carried into the air…breathed). And at the same time, in Acts 2:2-4…we see the wind blowing on the day of Pentecost, which refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit.
c. Water – We find water used in various symbols
:  To cleanse or purify, to refresh – Ephesians 4:29
 The flood of water was also used as a symbol of heavenly judgment. (Matthew 7:25)
 Water is also used to symbolize the Word of God, Ephesians 5:26
 Natural birth, (John 3:5)
 The Holy Spirit – living water – John 4:14 and 7:38-39
. Fire – We can also find fire used in various symbols
 Fire purifies, energizes and illuminates. (Matthew 3:11-12)
 Also refers to the presence of God. Exodus 3:2
 Also refers to the protection of God. Zechariah 2:5
 Also refers to God’s work of purification and sanctification, (Malachi 3:3, Revelation 1:14)
 The testing of believers is also compared to fire, (1 Peter 1:7)
 Also refers to God’s judgment and evaluation, (1 Corinthians 3:13)
e. Dove – John 1:32-33… Peaceful, innocent, gentle and loving
c. Brethren… We will study later – A surety, a testimony within us, a passion within us.
g. Seal… We will study later – Who we belong to and protection.
g. To clothe – Luke 24:49 – It refers to someone who puts on… .
2. The Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament …The Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament is very different from the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament …. The Holy Spirit is not different and the ministry is different. This difference is important for every believer to know. …
A. Now the Holy Spirit inspired both the Old and New Testaments. 2 Peter 1:20-22…..
– The Holy Spirit is active in the writing and inspiration of both the Old and New Testaments… He also plays a significant role in all prophecy.
B. From Adam to Abraham, the
Holy Spirit is directly mentioned about 5 times in this period….
1. In Genesis 1:2 – We find His work in creation
. In Job 26:13 – We also see the Holy Spirit’s participation in the beautiful creation of that creation.
Genesis 6:3 – The Spirit of God will not always strive.
(The struggle with sin) – This ministry is always ongoing. Job 27:3, 33:4….
– Refers to the revelation of God’s divine revelation before the Word was written. …..
c. From Abraham to Christ.. (We will study the life of Christ later).
– At this time all who believed were born again and became children of God.. ….. But the Holy Spirit did not dwell forever as in the New Covenant….
– But sometimes we can find God dwelling in certain people in the Old Testament…
Especially…
1. Ministry in creation – Genesis 1:2, Job 33:3
2. Ministry to save and preserve life – Psalm 104:29-30
3. Ministry to anoint and empower people – Numbers 11:24-30, Judges 6:33-34
 In the Old Testament, certain people were indwelt
for a certain time,
for a certain purpose or goal
, and to give them the power to accomplish that purpose….
They could come and go….
Like Samson – Judges 15:14-15
The Holy Spirit came upon Saul, (1 Samuel 11:7) but at the same time the Holy Spirit departed, (1 Samuel 16:14)
We can see the same in some other people as well.
Joseph – Genesis 41:38
Joshua – Numbers 27:18
Daniel – Daniel 5:11
The workers of the tabernacle of meeting were also anointed with the Holy Spirit… Exodus 35:30-35…..Delhi
– David was also anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit in his ministry… 1 Samuel 11:6…..
Later, after he fell into sin, he prayed that the Holy Spirit would not depart from him..
 Which does not apply in the New Covenant and was only in the Old Covenant?
– The example we have above is Saul’s hands.
– Psalm 51:11….. This prayer is not and should not be made by the New Covenant believer..
In the Old Testament, in Ezekiel 36:26-27, God promises that the Holy Spirit will be poured out on believers during the New Covenant. This can certainly be found in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost.
In the Old Covenant, the Holy Spirit
 would not be indwelling believers forever, which is only in the New Covenant.
 would not be a continuous empowering work, which is only in the New Covenant.
 There was no sealing work which is only in the New Testament.
 There was no baptism of the Spirit which is only in the New Testament.
In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit
– convicts of sin, (Genesis 6:3) In the New Testament
– ​​teaches and warns, (Nehemiah 9:20) In the New Testament –
​​exhorts, (Nehemiah 9:30) In the New Testament
– ​​could be rebelled against, (Psalm 106:33)..
– leads, Psalm 143:10… In the New Testament
– ​​could not be trusted, (Isaiah 30:1)
Now after that the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus.
We will look at 4 points..
1. Virgin conception – we have studied this well.
– Matthew 1:18-20 and Luke 1:35-37 We can see the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the birth of Jesus Christ… We can also see the role of the Holy Spirit in the life and birth of John the Baptist…
2. We can clearly see the anointing and empowerment of the Holy Spirit for the ministry of Jesus…
– We find that the Holy Spirit anointed Jesus at the time of His baptism, (Luke 3:21-22)
– The Holy Spirit led Jesus in the wilderness testing, (Luke 4:1-2)
– He also empowered Jesus in His preaching, teaching, and healing ministry..
(The role of the Holy Spirit was important in Jesus’ life and how important it is in our lives as well).
– On some occasions Jesus Himself performed signs and in His own power, such as Mark 5:35-43,
and on other occasions He empowered the Holy Spirit, (Matthew 12:28, Luke 5:17-18, Acts 2:22, Acts 10:38)
 3. His atoning death….
Hebrews 9:14 presents the participation of Jesus Christ in the work of the cleansing and forgiving death that resulted….
 4. We can see the ministry of the Holy Spirit in His resurrection… (Romans 1:4, 8:11 and 1 Peter 3:18)
The work of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament
 We can see the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 and from that time on He came to dwell with the believers forever…
 And then we find the mission and the gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit in the early church throughout the book of Acts…
The works of the Holy Spirit in the apostolic age are as follows and most of them are still ongoing…
1. Acts 1:8 – The fullness of the Holy Spirit gave the apostles the power to be witnesses.
– And this is true today too.
– Only in the power of the Holy Spirit could we and the apostles do it.
– Only we preach.. clearly proclaim the gospel and the Holy Spirit does the rest…
2. In the baptism of the Holy Spirit which happened in Acts 2.
 That is fulfilled in Joel 2:28-29 and Acts 1:4-5 and at the same time what Jesus promised in Luke 24:49, John 16:7 and Acts 1:4-5 has been fulfilled…
The work of the Holy Spirit towards unbelievers and the world in the present day: John 16:7-11 (Pre-salvation work) Let’s read verses 8 to 11.
In verse 8 – Jesus is teaching about the ministry of the Holy Spirit towards the world or unbelievers…
1. – On sin
2. – On righteousness, and
3. – On judgment
1. On sin – Let’s read verse 9
– Sin (not sins).. The only thing that stands between a person and Him is the sin of not believing in Jesus Christ or accepting Him as their personal Savior…. The sin of unbelief that separates them….
2. In verse 10 – On righteousness
 While Jesus was on earth, He was the supreme and only example of God’s perfect righteousness.
 When He ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit revealed His righteousness (or Christ) to the world.
 God is righteous and requires far more than man can do, so it is impossible for man to be justified (or saved) by his own works and by himself.
 Now, the Holy Spirit reveals that righteousness is freely available after faith in Jesus Christ, and that whoever believes in Jesus is declared righteous by God, justified by faith,… which is by faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work, by grace. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to him, (Romans 1:16-17, 3:22, 4:5)
3. In verse 11 – concerning judgment (the ruler of this world has been judged).
 Satan has been judged in the flesh, and condemned to eternal punishment.
 It shows that the work of the flesh is finished, and judgment has been done, and Satan has been defeated, showing that salvation is available to those who believe in Christ.
The Holy Spirit – through simple revelation, man knows
 Delivers the gospel
 Reveals essentials, or reveals the truth
 Man must now accept, (free will)
 Acceptance leads to salvation… or death
 Now another important thing that we can find in John 16:13-14
 The Holy Spirit brings glory to Christ, not to himself
 Another important ministry of the Holy Spirit is….
 Restraining evil…. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7
7 – Restraining… He is the Holy Spirit)
 The full nature of evil has not been seen yet, because the Holy Spirit has restrained it in God’s plan.
 The fact that it is of the antichrist has not been revealed….
 (Let’s think about what the full nature of evil will be like)
.  Evil is active, but not in its fullness, because the Holy Spirit has restrained it.
 It will be restrained until God releases it.
 But it will be abandoned in the great tribulation……
 (There will be a 1,000 times greater tribulation than the current tribulation in the great tribulation, but we will not be in that tribulation).
 The work of the Holy Spirit now is very important….

Now we will study the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the believer and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the church……
The first question – When does the Holy Spirit come to dwell in the believer, and does someone have to lay hands on the Holy Spirit when he comes??
(What Bible passages can we use to answer this)….Mshkaagkak ayashtaj ubachatshaabuvhalat
1. In John 3:3-8 Jesus says to Nicodemus, “There must be a new birth”,
. – Must be born of the Spirit,.. Must be born of the Spirit.
– We can see the work of the Holy Spirit in the new birth here.
– This birth is ours the moment we believe… We are born into God’s family and.
Titus 3:5 – New birth or rebirth by the washing of new birth and renewal of the Holy Spirit – This refers to a person being born again at the moment of faith in Jesus Christ.
– It is a new birth and a new life, a spiritual resurrection,
– It is a new creation…
– Birth as a child of God is supernatural life…
 We find that all three members of the Trinity are involved in this
: A. The Father – James 1:17-18…
B. Jesus – John 5:21, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 1 John 5:12
When we study John 3:3-7 and Titus 3:5, we find that the Holy Spirit is specifically involved in the new birth…
– Just as Jesus has life in Himself, yet we see the special ministry of the Holy Spirit in His virgin birth.
– It refers to the new birth……
It is at this new birth that eternal life is imparted.
– At this time… when someone believes in Jesus Christ.. at that moment he passes from a state of spiritual death to a state of spiritual life.
– with that he is now given eternal life, or he has received eternal life.
Three pictures can be found used specifically about the new birth.
1. The explanation Jesus gave to Nicodemus in John 3:1-9.
Just as we were born into this world physically – John 1:13 explains that
by faith we are born into God’s family… the day you believed…
2. Spiritual resurrection – Romans 6:13.. The person who believes in Jesus is declared to be alive from the dead.
Ephesians 2:5 – He made us alive together with Christ
3. New Creation – Ephesians 4:24 – Cbbm…New Man 2 Corinthians 5:17

 The Holy Spirit comes and dwells with every new born believer (all believers)….
Because the Bible clearly states that the Holy Spirit comes and dwells with the believer at the moment of belief….
 Some say that hands must be laid on to receive the Holy Spirit, which is wrong and they use some incidents of the apostles….
For example, in the ministry in Samaria from Acts 8:14-21 – let’s read
this passage using…. The laying on of hands is still practiced today…..
 How can we explain this…..????
– Here clearly the Holy Spirit is somewhat delayed and this is only a special situation (the New Testament books were yet to be written and the revelation was being completed, and this is the apostolic age).
1. To give authority to Philip’s ministry and to show that he was connected with the apostles and the church.
2. And also, importantly, we know the struggle between the Samaritans and the Jews in the past… It was also very important to show that this faction does not exist in the church and will not exist. And to show that even now, like the Jews, the Samaritans are members of the church and there is no division…..
3. Together, it is to show this truth to the apostles and believers and to make this truth clear to the Samaritans…..
Then, when Cornelius was saved, the story is different….
Let’s read Acts 10:42-44 and explain it very briefly…..
And it is also important to know about another passage….
Acts 19:1-6
Let’s read 4-6 first…. This is also used….. But in this passage it is clear that from verses 1-3 the Holy Spirit comes and dwells at the time of believing….
Some passages to know
1. Ephesians 1:13-14… The Holy Spirit comes after believing (no laying on of hands or anything else).
2. John 7:37-39… Those who believe in Him were going to receive.
3. Acts 19:1-4…… Paul’s question makes it clear.
4. In Galatians 3:2-3 Paul asks the question…. and in verse 14 the answer is…..
5. Romans 8:9, Jude 19 – It is not his who does not have the Spirit (Holy Spirit)….
– He who believes is saved… The New Testament is clear.
– Can a saved person not have Him??
– And verse 9 makes it very clear and the Holy Spirit dwells in you…
6. 1 Corinthians 6:19 – You are the temple of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit dwells in you…
John 14:17 – Let’s read Jesus Himself talking about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Now let’s read 1 Corinthians 12:3 – We are baptized into one body by the Spirit
:  The moment we believe, the Holy Spirit places us in His body as an important part of the body of Christ. The members of the body of Christ (a metaphor) but very close and intimate and new.…
 The Holy Spirit places us in Christ… in Christ, in Him… and with Him into His body (or with Christ)… This is also the moment we believe…. (John 14:20)
Now.. Be filled with the Holy Spirit: A very important topic…
 New birth by the Holy Spirit
 Sealing
 Indwelling by the Holy Spirit
 Baptism with the Holy Spirit
 It happens at the moment of salvation… But
being filled with the Spirit is a continuous process…
 A person who is born again may not be filled with the Spirit…
 It is a continuous process…..
 Key passage – Ephesians 5:18 – But be filled with the Spirit…..
 This command is… a continuous process (that is why all believers are sealed, indwelled but not all believers are always filled with the Holy Spirit).
 Being filled with the Holy Spirit… means
 Being controlled or chosen by Him.
 Doing and walking what He says…..
How to be filled?
 John 6:63 – The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life…
 The relationship between the Spirit and the Word…
 Ephesians 6:17 – Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
 Here too, the Spirit and the Word….
 That is why Ephesians 5:18 and Colossians 3:16 go together…
 Let’s also study the truth…….
 To be filled with the Holy Spirit – is to be filled with the Word of God.
 The more the Word (Biblical teachings) fills our hearts.. the more we can be filled with the Holy Spirit … Colossians 3:16
“That is why Jesus says” John 14
: 14:16 – Jesus sends… who always abides.
Verse 17 – with you and in you
Verse 26 – the Father has also sent…
Verse 26 1. Will teach you all things… Being taught by the Spirit through the Word – Believers, pastors, students, leaders, servants
2. Reminds you of all these things…
1. Teaches you all things, (a very important ministry of the Holy Spirit). Let ‘s
read 1 Corinthians 2 :12-13 , and also verse 10  ….. A person
taught by the Spirit …

.. We should not do anything..
1. Hebrews 10:29 – Insulting the Spirit??
2. Acts 7:51 – Resisting (resisting or hindering) the Holy Spirit?
3. Ephesians 4:30 – Do not grieve the Holy Spirit?
4. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 – Taking away (do not quench) the Holy Spirit?
1. Hebrews 10:29 – Insulting the Spirit?? (Which you should not do) To insult – The Greek word for insult is vlagadchashnav – to disrespect or insult
 When we are in fellowship (in class, in church) we are insulting the Holy Spirit.. When we fail to listen to the preaching of the Word.
 If we do not accept what the message (preaching) is trying to say, we are insulting the Holy Spirit
 If we mix faith with the word we hear (Hebrews 4:2)
 What is mixing faith??
– When we sit down to listen to the word, if our attention is not distracted, it is insulting the Holy Spirit…. Listening to something and not listening to something.
(You are talking to someone… but that person is not listening to you…)
– Taking advice from a spiritual and mature anointed person who is filled with the Spirit but not making a decision according to that advice… is insulting the Holy Spirit….. (There is forgiveness through repentance, but let’s not insult him).
2. Acts 7:51 – Resisting the Holy Spirit (opposing or hindering).
 Listening to what the Holy Spirit says but not acting on it..
 Listening to God’s Word (also called “dyadh”)
 But not accepting Him as a major part of life and nature…
 Listening but not using it… Not making it practical…
That is why James 1:22 says – listen and obey.
Psalm 18:44 – Listen to my word and obey it
(or else we will face or oppose it).
3) 1 Thess 5:19 – Do not quench the Holy Spirit…
 Listening to and obeying God’s Word but not constantly repenting… Doing this quenches the Holy Spirit.
 That strength, power and energy are not felt…
 We know and accept what He says but start making decisions in the opposite way…
 Just as a flame depends on power, it will go out if it does not have a source of oil or energy.
 Hearing the Word, knowing the truth, sometimes showing a desire – or even repenting for a while) but when circumstances arise and or due to other life tasks and priorities, leaving that Word and not being serious…
(such as dedication…)
4) Grieving the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30)
 When we get involved in inappropriate relationships, we grieve the Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit is a person, so a person is grieved…. not a person)
 Not being gracious is also grieving the Holy Spirit.
 At first they are enthusiastic about the ministry… They do well for a while… When something happens in the family or some other situation arises, they gradually start to retreat…
 Then they insult
the Holy Spirit.  Then they confront the Holy
Spirit…  Then they quench the Holy Spirit.
And finally they grieve the Holy Spirit because of an inappropriate relationship with the body of Christ.
The relationship established through gossip grieves the Holy Spirit. Some people’s relationships can be like this.
 Holding something against someone in their heart.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Holy Spirit and walking in the Spirit… We will also study this topic…
We have studied being filled with the Holy Spirit in the last class.
When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, the fruits of the Holy Spirit are evident… Galatians 5:22-23 Let’s look…
First Galatians 5:25 – “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”
In the last class we studied that… The Holy Spirit uses the Word to show us Christ
… He leads us by the
Word… When does the Holy Spirit lead in a way that contradicts the Word… Another Spirit would be 1 John 4:1, now… Let’s read 1 John 4:1
2-4 – The Holy Spirit shows us Jesus…
All this is not by the works of man but by His grace
. Now because of the new birth… There is a new way, a new ability to think and understand His words, a new walk, a new family, a new purpose, plan, will…. It paves the way for the things of God.
Once born, there is no more rebirth… Salvation is secure…..

Now we have come under the seal and indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
First we will look at the sealing of the Holy Spirit….. and the main passage Ephesians 1:13-14… 2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 4:30
 This sealing is done by God and is not something the believer is asked to do themselves and is entirely God’s work.
 This also happens at the time of salvation… Ephesians 1:13
 Believing (for salvation) and being sealed also happen at the same time.
 Ephesians 4:30 – Even if we grieve the Holy Spirit (which we will see later)
 The sealing is not done….
 Like putting a mark on… An example of a seal is
 The one who is sealed belongs to him…. is authoritative.
 This seal: denotes protection,. 
Indicates being protected. 
Indicates being God’s.
 It signifies that we are completely God’s.
– The Holy Spirit indwells the believer
– The baptism of the Holy Spirit – He is the Father
– The filling of the Holy Spirit
– And other things we will look at….

1. Refers to security – Matthew 27:66 and Ephesians 4:30
2. It refers to something that is real – John 3:33 or something that is real
3. It refers to something that is authoritative and recognized – John 6:27
4. It refers to something that is yours (2 Corinthians 1:22 . Revelation 7:2 . 9:4)
In verse 14 – This seal is referred to as a “guarantee”.
This guaranty – a word that means more than what was given.
The guaranty – something that was given can be taken back but this guaranty is not.
– It refers to a payment that ensures that more is to come.
– A payment of assurance…
The word “guarantee” is used…
2 Corinthians 1:22 – The guaranty of the Spirit
2 Corinthians 5:5 – The guaranty of the Spirit
This guaranty tells us that the believer’s inheritance is assured of salvation and heaven. (1 Peter 1:4)
 The “down payment” for what is coming or has been placed in the believer’s life.. is the seal of the Holy Spirit….. This also happens
at the time of salvation… …in all who believe… until now… Let’s look at the new birth, the seal and the seal…
Now we… “The Holy Spirit comes and dwells in us”
 The Holy Spirit dwells within us at the time of salvation.
 Life, soul, body
 The Spirit awakens and comes and dwells in that soul and now our soul cannot sin.
 The Holy Spirit speaks according to the Word….
If it is not according to the Word (true teaching), then it is someone else’s voice
. For example…. The Holy Spirit does not say marry an unbeliever
 He does not say commit adultery
 He does not say lie….
 The Bible and the Holy Spirit….. speak in harmony and unity…
 Walk in the Spirit – accept the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow… Let’s do it….
Greek word – ktyalbhajabhaya (stokhei)
 Like a military parade, in order….. rhythm
 Life and walk are also a parade and rhythm with the Holy Spirit
 As a result, the fruits of the Holy Spirit become real and visible in our lives…. Galatians 5:22-23.. Vita Chabhavam
 A life controlled by the Holy Spirit.
 I make the decisions that the Holy Spirit tells me to do.
There is free will….
There is a picture of

anointing
in 1 John 2:26-27,20
 Every believer has this anointing… at the moment of salvation
 But it is always a question of whether or not to manifest this anointing, everyone is anointed but may not be manifesting that anointing, but someone does manifest it….
 The important role of this anointing is that we can recognize mistakes or errors….
 We know where we are being led and we know that we are being deceived.
 But the anointing reveals this to us, makes us aware…. so that we can reject it…..
The anointing is for preaching, teaching and serving….
 The Holy Spirit empowers the ministry of preaching and teaching.
– This is for children to preach the gospel on the street.
– Pulpit, youth group, sister and brother …. We must be sensitive to this anointing….
– Even when preaching in front of 2-3 people …. The event of the Rizbachi Quvchanval …… …
 We are to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit in our ministry continuously. (Acts 1:7-8)
– We must follow His leadership, guidance …
 As a result, preaching, teaching and service are filled with heavenly beauty and power and people’s lives are changed and they experience fellowship with God ….
