DESCRIPTION
In this, the third installment of the ENCOUNTER Series Rohan takes you through how the Holy Spirit was present and worked through people in the Old Testament and then on into the New Testament. Notice the shift in the activity of the Holy Spirit as He comes upon people in the OT for specific tasks and is poured out on all people in the NT. This message is thick with scriptures as we unpack explore the specific role of the Holy Spirit in the OT and the shift in dispensation in the NT. Landing on the big idea that “awareness of his presence enables access to his power.” Take some time to become aware of the places in your life where you need the Holy Spirit to come upon you in fullness and power. Ask God to make that real to you right now. Enjoy beginning to walk with and relate personally to the Holy Spirit as your guide and best friend. #leadershift Roh

Exodus 33:12-16 NLT
12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”

12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
QUIET STRENGTHThere is a story about a sunken ship that illustrates the quietness of the spirit, but at the same time His Power in our lives. "Several years ago engineers building a new bridge over the East River in New York, discovered that the wrecked hull of a ship, sunk many years before, lay right where the center piers were to be built. Powerful machinery was brought in to remove the ship, but it would not budge. Then one of the engineers had an unusual idea-why not have the tide raise the ship!! Some strong cables were attached to the hull when the tide was low. The other ends were fastened to the barge above. As the tide came in, the barge gradually lifted the sunken ship. It was then towed out into the ocean and sunk at a spot that would not cause future problems." God’s Holy Spirit is like the tide, it comes quietly, it comes in slowly, but it comes to us with enough power so that we might do the job God has called and led each of us to do.SOURCE: Tim Zingale in Pentecost Sunday on www.sermoncentral.com.
Galatians 5:16-17; 25
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions......25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
