The River Gushes

Introduction

Is the Holy Spirit the least known member of the trinity? I have encountered people who have had an apprehension to the Holy Spirit. I think it is easy to understand the Father and Son as they have titles that we are familiar with. But what is the Spirit?

I don’t know if Jesus helped anything when he described those born of the Spirit to Nicodemus, “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

My hope for you as you embark on this study is that you get to know the Spirit better and that you would come to recognize His voice. Also that you would develop a longing for Him and an expectation that He would meet with you every day.

Questions:

1. The author, Rob Reimer talks about becoming “spirit people”. What kind of reaction does that stir inside of you?

2. In John 7:37-38 Jesus invites those who are thirsty to come and drink. Do you have any apprehension about drinking deeply of this living water? What changes would you expect in your life if you do fully drink from this river of life?

3. Are you ready to fully surrender to the Holy Spirit?

Prayer:

Pray that God would open your heart and mind to hear His thoughts about the Spirit.
