2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. This not just a prayer but a blessing “A declaration that God will show his kindness in a person’s life” Grace (unmerited favor) FREE gift of Almighty God to needy mankind 2 Cor 8:9: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” Love 2 Cor 8:11: “Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.” Love shown when he sent Christ into the world. John 3:16 Love shown by the way he cares for his people. Matthew 6:25-32 Communion (fellowship/relationship) John 16:13: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” Galatians 5:16-25 – Walking in the Spirit not of the flesh/law

Love of God that purposes all Grace of Lord Jesus Christ that provides all Communion of Holy Spirit that performs all True character of God: Kindness Love Friendship Trust Him constantly and know He is always with us. We need to truly become His people.

1. Intimacy Prayer/dialogue with the Holy Spirit Personal communion through: Conversation Pray-read His Word Ask Him questions Ask Him what He wants to teach you Expect answers Trust is at the heart of intimacy. The more we trust God, the more intimately we come to know Him. Psalms 73:28: “But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.” Psalms is a great example of David having conversation with God, and God responding to him. Psalms 15 – Character of those who may dwell with the Lord As we commune with the Holy Spirit, He will take the conversation and point it towards Jesus.

1. Intimacy Obedience to God’s quickening Word to our heart Luke 11:28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” When Holy Spirit correct us, it is always to bless us. The more you resist the Holy Spirit, the harder your heart becomes to His voice. Immediate obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit is a sign of spiritual maturity. Immediate obedience is the key to supernatural ‘protection” and “provision”

2. Increase Divine Wisdom Knowledge of God Understanding Proverbs 8 Knowing Him more and more Understanding Insight, oversight, foresight, hindsight WISDOM Wisdom comes from above. Intimacy with God the Father will lead to growth in wisdom. Perfect example was Jesus. Luke 2:52: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Wisdom will grow as we mature in the Lord. Jesus’ wisdom came from his intimate relationship with God. God was His father. He knew he had to be in his Father’s house, and his intimacy with his Father was the foundation of his wisdom. KNOWLEDGE Growing in the Lord/growing in faith Colossians 1:9-10: “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

2. Increase Faith of God, not just Faith in God We really believe and speak like our Father in Heaven We shall see results as Holy Spirit speaks into our hearts and we believe and speak e) All other Spiritual Dimensions Galatians 5:22-23 - John 14:12: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” - Galatians 5:22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

3. Immunity From all negatives Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Immunity is not the absence of infection, it means you are able to stay healthy in the midst of the infection/presence of the virus. Resurrection life flows through my veins – Easter Parade t-shirt motto for 2017

Conclusion Let’s come expecting 2019 will be a year of: Intimacy Increase Immunity As we commune with the Holy Spirit, let our prayer be that we will love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
