"The Empowering Spirit Within Us" sermon by Daniel Mills


1. He produces the fruit of the Spirit in us

Galatians 5:22-23 – But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

John 15:8 – When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

Acts 11:24 – Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and strong in faith. And many people were brought to the Lord.

2. He affirms that we are children of God

Romans 8:15-16 – Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.

Acts 10:46-47 – Then Peter asked, “Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?”

Ephesians 4:30 – And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

3. He helps us to pray

Romans 8:26-27 – And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 

Ephesians 6:18-19 – Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike

4. He is our life giver

Genesis 2:7 – Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.

Genesis 3:8 – When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees.

John 6:63 – The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. 

Romans 8:6 – But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 

Romans 8:10 – The Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.

2 Corinthians 3:6 – Under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.

Romans 8:11 – The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

5. He continually fills us

Acts 13:52 – And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 5:18-19 – Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.

1 John 2:20 – But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

1 Peter 1:10-12 – This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward. They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.
