Spirit Revelation
Bishop John
Salvation, (save, deliverance, preservation) is by Christ grace and the Father’s love is always in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit - 2 Corinthians 13:14.
God is One (Deut. 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.”), in unity with His Self-Revelation. Salvation is proclaimed in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and in benediction. In all ages this tension between God’s unity and His Self-Revelation remains inescapable for those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord. This mystery teaches the depth of the riches, wisdom, knowledge of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
1. Spirit [ruach/pneuma] brings the dynamism of God’s movement or activity and the inner vitality of individual persons.

35:30-35
36:1-7
2. Adam became a living being only when God breathed into his nostrils the “breath” of life - Gen.2:7; Job 33:4; Ezek. 37:14; Zech.12:1.
Gen. 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.”
Job 33:4 “The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”
Ezek. 37:14 :And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.”
Zech. 12:1 “The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel saith the Lord, which stretched forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him.”
3. The Spirit given by God continues to be the life principle that creates and sustains the life of every living thing - Gen. 6:17;7:15, 22; Job 10:12; Ps. 104:30; Eccl. 3:19.
Job 10:8, 11,12 “Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. Thou hast granted me life and favor and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Ps. 104”30 “Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.”
Eccl. 3:19, 20-21 :For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea they have all one breath; so that a man hath nno preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one plae; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward. And the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth.”
4. The encounter between God’s Spirit and the human spirit is a fundamental aspect of Christian experience - Rom. 8:16; Gal. 6:18.
Rom. 8:16 “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
Gal. 6:18 “Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.”
5. God’s Spirit communicates His PRESENCE, ACTIVITY and POWER.
