John 1416 The Helper Indwelling of God the
Holy Spirit
4
The Doctrine of the Indwelling of God the Holy
Spirit.
5
A. Definition and Description.1. The Holy
Spirit indwells the body of the Church Age
believer at the moment of salvation.1 Cor 316
619-20
6
2. The purpose of the indwelling is to provide a
temple in the body of every Church Age believer
for the indwelling of Jesus Christ as the
Shekinah Glory and the indwelling of God the
Father.
7
a. God the Father indwells us for the
glorification of His protocol Plan for each
Church Age believer.John 1423 Eph 13, 6, 12
46 2 John 9
8
b. God the Holy Spirit indwells us to
9
b. God the Holy Spirit indwells us to1) Create
a temple for the indwelling of Christ as the
Shekinah Glory,
10
b. God the Holy Spirit indwells us to2) Be a
down payment of our royal inheritance,
11
b. God the Holy Spirit indwells us to3) Empower
us in the execution of the Father's Plan. John
1416 Rom 811 1 Cor 316 619-20 2 Cor
616 Eph 113-14
12
3. There are no sacred buildings in the Church
Age. Instead, GtHS makes a sacred building out of
your body.
13
4. The indwelling of GtHS is also a sign of the
Royal Family status, which is superior to being
in the family of God.
14
Therefore, we receive six ministries of the Holy
Spirit at salvation Efficacious Grace,
Regeneration, Sealing, Spiritual Gifts, Filling,
and Baptism.
15
5. The ministry of GtHS in other dispensations
was technically the enduement of the Holy Spirit.
(E.G., in Psa 5111, David said, Take not Your
Spirit from me.)
16
6. GtHS indwells the body of every believer, but
only controls the soul of the believer under the
title filling of the Holy Spirit or walking in
the Spirit. Rom 84 Gal 516, 25 Eph 518
17
7. It is important to distinguish between the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which is
permanent, and the filling of the Holy Spirit
which is temporary depending on the use of the
Rebound Technique.
18
When we sin we lose the filling of the Holy
Spirit, but not the indwelling of the Spirit.
Compare Eph 113 430 518 and 1 John 19.
19
8. The Holy Spirit indwells the body of the
believer because the Old Sin Nature lives in the
body of the believer.
20
In the life of every believer, human ability must
be superseded by divine ability.
21
9. The actual use of divine power from the
indwelling of the Spirit depends on the filling
of the Holy Spirit rather than the indwelling of
the Spirit.
22
10. You must learn to distinguish between the
indwelling and filling of the Holy Spirit.
23
The filling of the Holy Spirit is the first power
option of the spiritual life and without this
divine power it is impossible to execute the
unique spiritual life of the Church.
24
a. Divine power is necessary to execute the
Divine Plan. Without the filling of GtHS there is
no spiritual life.
25
b. A perfect Plan demands perfect power for its
fulfillment.
26
The Christian way of life is a supernatural way
of life and demands a supernatural means of
execution.
27
What the unbeliever can do is not the Christian
way of life.
