Jul 29, 2015Dr. John KingHOLY SPIRITGROW Class - What the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit

This message delves into the various ministries of the Holy Spirit, focusing on the lesser-known aspects such as the leading, teaching, anointing, assuring, and praying of the Spirit.

Key passages from Romans 8 and Galatians 5 are examined to clarify the biblical understanding of being led by the Spirit. The teaching of the Spirit is discussed in the context of illumination rather than new revelation, and the assurance provided by the Spirit is highlighted as a personal testimony of our identity as children of God.
