“In the beginning, God made man in His image. Man has been making God in his image ever since.
Call it naturalism. Call it idolatry. Call it what you will. The result of this spiritual inversion is a god who is about our size and looks an awful lot like us. And most of our spiritual shortcoming’s stem from this fundamental mistake: thinking about God in human terms. We make God in our image, and as A. W. Tozer said in The Knowledge of the Holy, we’re left with a god who “can never surprise us, never overwhelm us, nor astonish us, nor transcend us.”
-Mark Batterson Wild Goose Chase. Pg 71

Today we will look at the wonder and fire of the Holy Spirit.

1. What is the Holy Spirt? (John 14:16-17)
“The Holy Spirit is not energy from God- He is God himself dwelling in us.”

2. What does the Holy Spirit do? (John 14:26) (John 16:13) (2 Timothy 1:6-7)

-The Holy Spirit comforts and protects us. (John 14:26)

-The Holy Spirit teaches and guides us. (John 16:13)

-The Holy Spirit is the fire that gives us courage to love like Jesus and live a self disciplined life. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
