The Holy Spirit: The Power of God

Sermon by Kim Myers

Brethren, understanding God's Holy Spirit is crucial to our spiritual lives. It is not a third being or part of a trinity, but the very power and mind of God. This power enables us to comprehend His laws, doctrines, and way of life, transforming us into true Christians and Firstfruits. When the Holy Spirit works within us, it produces the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, and self-control—against which there is no law. God pours out His Holy Spirit, not as a person, but as His divine power, granting us the ability to understand and live by His truth. The Holy Spirit is given to those whom God calls, who repent, change their lives, and are baptized. It opens our minds to the mysteries of God's truth, intercedes for us in prayer, and helps us express our needs to Him. This awesome gift provides wisdom, understanding, and comfort, shaping us to produce spiritual fruit. Only through the Holy Spirit can we fully grasp God's laws and way of life, as it is not offered to most of mankind yet, but to those called as Firstfruits. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit imparts eternal life to us, saving us from eternal death if we remain faithful and obedient to God's laws and doctrines. It is a gift we cannot earn, given after baptism, empowering us to change and bear spiritual fruit. The Holy Spirit, as the vine of God's divine nature, carries out His will, granting us the power to understand spiritual things and the faith to overcome sin. We must yield to it and let it lead us, ensuring we are not confused about God's doctrines and way of life.
