I Believe in the Holy Spirit Part 2

Gal 4:5-6, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, 5 to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. 6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."

The first word is “sonship.” Rom 8:15-16, For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. The first word is “sonship.”

Acts 20:22-23, And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.

The sixth word is “suffering.” Phil 1:29, 3:10, For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him … I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings. The sixth word is “suffering.”

Heb 10:32-34, Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those

who were so treated. 34 You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.

In Iran, the missions report read, “Between June 2010 and January 2011 there was a significant increase in the number of arbitrary arrests of Christians solely for practicing their faith in Iran. In total there were 202 arrests, and at the end of January 33 Christians were still in prison.”

heard them speaking in his own language heard them speaking in his own language. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9 What are tongues “glossais”? The tongues are languages “dialekto” spoken by people groups in the ancient world.

V9-11, Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs - we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!"
