and speaking of the things
concerning the kingdom of God.

So How does God fill us?
And with what?
The Holy Spirit is Good
Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his
son for a fish; he will not give him a snake
instead of a fish, will he? Or if he is asked for
an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will
he? If you then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more
will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask Him?”
Luke 11:11-13
The Holy Spirit is Good
And Jesus said to him,
“Why do you call Me good?
No one is good except God alone.”
Luke 18:19
The Holy Spirit lives in believers
Or do you not know that
your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
who is in you,
whom you have from God,
and that you are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19
The Holy Spirit is powerful & purposeful
But why the term “baptism”
for John baptized with water, but
you will be baptized with the Holy
Spirit not many days from now.
Acts 1:5
But why the term “baptism”
What is our role in God’s plan?
Living a Full Filled life
And the disciples were
continually filled with joy
and with the Holy Spirit.
-Acts 13:52
