Week 9 - Vapor

God's desire for us to have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us can be seen all throughout scripture. Here is just a few examples - "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." -Ephesians 5:17,18

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. the world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him, But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." -John 14:16-18

"God's Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, Kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways. And because we belong to Christ Jesus, we have killed our selfish feelings and desire. God's Spirit gives us life, and so we should follow the Spirit." -Galatians 5:22-25

Here are some of the roles of the Holy Spirit - Holy Spirit comforts Christ-Followers in times of trouble, Holy Spirit teaches Christ-Followers and acts as our moral compass, Holy Spirit communicates for us in prayer (our prayers are heard and understood by our heavenly Father).
