1. Both of these writers spoke of God pouring out or putting in His Spirit in a believer.

1. One promise God made to Isaiah concerning the Messiah is the Holy Spirit would be upon the Messiah whose lineage runs through the generational line of Jesse. 2. Jesus made the proclamation, as recorded in Luke 14:16-21, that He was the fulfillment of prophesy in Isaiah 6:1-2.

1. These Elders had already demonstrated to Moses their leadership capabilities. (Numbers 11:6) 2. When the Holy Spirit was put on the Elders they began to prophesy. This gave the Elders the same heart that Moses had for the people. They would be able to work together. 3. Moses experienced the blessing of the Holy Spirit abiding in him and appreciated the comfort and peace it brought to him. He knew all God’s children would benefit from the blessing of the indwelling spirit.

In these two passages of scripture we see how the indwelling Spirit of God transforms us from a being of this world to one who has been given a conscience of spiritual elements and to developing sensitivity to the kind of characteristics that define us as no longer conforming to this world.

Hello everyone. My name is Stephen and live in the Pacific Northwest. I am actively involved in the ministry of my church where I lead a men's Bible study and play guitar during our worship services. I am looking forward to reading your perspectives on the questions we will be answering during this study. Blessing to all.

What about our lives and words "hallows" the name of our Father? From the beginning God has expressed His desire to have an intimate relationship with mankind. Not even original sin could keep God from loving us. Our actions, both visible and secret, are known to God. We must allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how to live our lives in a manner that will bring honor to our Father...our Lord. What desecrates and besmirches it? Any actions that deny His influence in the lives of His children. How should we "hallow" the Father when we begin to pray? When we pray we should acknowlege God's soverienty. We should praise Him for the mecry and grace He imparts to us. We should express our thankfulness for the sacrifice He made in order to redeem us from our sin.

My name is Stephen and this is my first online Bible study. I live in Western Washington where I attend a Baptist Church.
