The Word and the Spirit in Counseling I. What are the most important elements of the counseling process? A. The two most important elements of the counseling process are the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. B. The Spirit and the Word work together (Acts 10:44; Eph. 6:17; I Th. 1:5; I John 5:7).

II. What is the place of the Holy Spirit in the counseling process? A. It is good to remind ourselves that the Holy Spirit is the only one in the New Testament Who is called a “Counselor” (John 14:16-17).

B. It is good to remind ourselves what the work of the Holy Spirit is in relation to the believer. 1. The Holy Spirit is the agent by which the Father draws us (John 6:44; Luke 14:16-23 [the Holy Spirit is the Servant]). 2. The Holy Spirit causes the believer to acknowledge Jesus as Lord (I Cor. 12:3).

3. The Holy Spirit is responsible for the regeneration of the human spirit (John 1:12-13; 3:5-6). 4. The Holy Spirit fills the believer continually (Eph. 5:18). 5. The Holy Spirit sets us free from the law of sin and death enabling the believer to put to death the deeds of the flesh (Rom. 8:2, 13).

6. The Holy Spirit sanctifies us, sets us apart and makes us holy (I Cor. 6:11; II Th. 2:13; I Pet. 1:2). 7. The Holy Spirit works to transform into the image of Christ (II Cor. 3:18). 8. The Holy Spirit renews the believer (Tit. 3:5). 9. The Holy Spirit produces Christ-like fruit in the life of the believer (Gal. 5:22-23).

10. The Holy Spirit strengthens the believer in the inner person (Eph. 3:16; cf. II Cor. 4:16). 11. The Holy Spirit speaks to the believer (Acts 8:29; I Tim. 4:1; Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29). 12. The Holy Spirit leads the believer (Rom. 8:14; Gal 5:16, 25). 13. The Holy Spirit teaches the believer and leads him into truth (John 16:13; I John 2:27).

14. The Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God to the believer (John 16:14; I Cor. 2:9-14). 15. The Holy Spirit opens the believer’s understanding to the things of God (I Cor. 2:12). 16. The Holy Spirit reveals the future to the believer (Luke 2:26; John 16:13; Acts 20:23; 21:11; Rev 1:10).

17. The Holy Spirit helps and guides in prayer and intercession (Rom. 8:26-27; Eph. 6:18; Jude 20). 18. The Holy Spirit comforts (John 15:26; Acts 9:31). 19. The Holy Spirit seals the believer (Eph. 1:13; 4:30; II Cor. 1:21-22). 20. The Holy Spirit is a helper who abides with us forever (John 14:16).

C. It is good to remind ourselves of those things that the Holy Spirit can do that we as counselors cannot do. 1. The Holy Spirit can bring conviction of sin. 2. The Holy Spirit can speak to a person at night (Ps. 16:7). 3. The Holy Spirit can identify the thoughts and intents of the heart (Ps, 139:23-24).

III. What is the place of the Word of God in the counseling process? It is important to understand that the Holy Spirit works by means of the Word of God. A. It is good to remember the supernatural qualities of the Word of God. 1. God is faithful and so is His Word (I Cor. 1:9; II Pet. 1:19).

2. God is incorruptible and so is His Word (I Pet. 1:22-23). 3. God is eternal and so is His Word (I Pet. 1:25; Is. 40:8). 4. God is powerful and so is His Word (Heb. 4:12; Ps.107:20; 147:18). 5. God is holy and so is His Word (Rom. 1:2; II Tim. 3:15). 6. God is creative and so is His Word (Ps. 33:6).

7. God is good and so is His Word (Is. 39:8; Heb. 6:5). 8. God is righteous and so is His Word (Ps. 33:4). 9. God is true and so is His Word (Ps. 119:43,160). 10. God is unchanging and so is His Word (Ps. 119:89). 11. God is light and so is His Word (Ps. 119:105).

12. God is spirit and so is His Word (John 6:63). 13. God is pure and so is His Word (Ps. 119:140; Pro. 30:5). 14. God is the source of life and so is His Word (Ps. 119:50). 15. God is the source of hope and so is His Word (Ps. 130:5; 119:74, 81, 114). 16. God is to be feared and so is His Word (Is. 66:2, 5).

17. God never fails and neither does His Word (Is. 55:10-11; Jer. 1:12).

B. It is good to remember the function of the Word of God in the life of the believer. 1. The Word of God is a hammer (Jer. 23:29). It is able to break up and make an impression on hard hearts. 2. The Word of God is a mirror (Jam. 1:23-25). It reveals to man his true spiritual condition.

3. The Word of God is a two-edged sword (Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12). It works for us to bring victory to our lives. It works on us to convict and divide (II Tim. 3:16; Jam. 1:23-24). 4. The Word of God is a judge (Heb. 4:12). The Word of God passes right judgment on the innermost nature of man.

5. The Word of God is water (John 15:3; Eph. 5:26). It refreshes, cleanses and purifies the soul from the defilements of sin. 6. The Word of God is seed (Luke 8:11; I Pet. 1:22-23). It is sown in the heart to bring forth a spiritual harvest.

7. The Word of God is food (Jer. 15:16). It is that which imparts strength to the spiritual man (Deut. 8:3; Ps. 119:103; Job 23:12). a. It is milk for babes (I Pet. 2:2; Heb. 5:12-13). b. It is bread for the mature (Is. 55:1-2; Mt. 4:4). c. It is strong meat or solid food for the adult (I Cor. 3:2; Heb. 5:12-14).

d. It is as sweet and delightful as honey (Ps. 19:10; 119:103).

8. The Word of God is a lamp (Ps. 119:105; Pro. 6:23; II Pet. 1:19). a. It imparts life to darkened man (John 6:63; II Cor. 3:18). b. It exposes areas of sin in our lives (Heb. 4:12-13). c. It gives direction and guidance (Pro. 6:22-23).

9. The Word of God is true riches (Ps. 19:10; 119:72). It makes the possessor rich and wise. 10. The Word of God is a fire (Jer. 20:9; 23:29). a. It warms the heart. b. It gives zeal for service. c. It exposes the wood, hay and stubble in our lives (I Cor. 3:12-15).

IV. What are the advantages of a Christian in the counseling process? A. The Counselor has a distinct advantage. 1. The Counselor has an absolute source of truth as his or her disposal (II Pet. 1:3; II Tim. 3:16-17).

2. The Counselor has the unlimited power of God as his or her disposal. a. When you have the Holy Spirit you have boldness (Acts 4:31). b. When you have the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit operate within you. 3. The Counselor has the Holy Spirit or THE Counselor dwelling within him or her (John 14:16-17).

B. The Counselee has a distinct advantage. 1. The Counselee has the Holy Spirit dwelling within as well (John 14:17; Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 3:16; 6:17; II Cor. 6:16; Gal. 2:20; II Tim. 1:14; I John 2:27). 2. The Counselee has broken the power of sin in water baptism (Rom. 6:1-14).

3. The Counselee has been empowered by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5, 8; 2:4). 4. The Counselee has the grace of God upon his or her life (I Cor. 1:4; Heb. 12:15). 5. The Counselee has God working in them (Phil. 2:12-13).

V. What temptation does the Counselor need to resist? A. The Counselor needs to resist the temptation to lean on their own wisdom and strength rather than the wisdom from above represented to us in the Word of God and the power available to us by the Spirit of God (I Cor. 2:1-5).

B. The Counselor needs to resist the temptation to integrate the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God (Jam. 3:11). C. The Counselor needs to resist the temptation to build on a life that has no foundation (I Cor. 2:13-14).
