    The document discusses the life in the Holy Spirit experienced by early Christians and available today. It describes how the Holy Spirit transformed the fearful disciples into bold apostles and created unity, leading to the birth of the Church. Receiving the Holy Spirit means experiencing the same power they did and being offered spiritual gifts. To receive it, one must be open, desire it, and have faith, as God has promised to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. Satan will try to prevent people from receiving it, so they must resist temptations and call on Jesus.

    CHRISTIAN LIFE PROGRAM TALK # 6

    “THE
    LIFE
    IN THE
    HOLY SPIRIT”
    a) This life in the Spirit was normal

    EARLY
    The Spirit's importance was stressed by Jesus. Jn 16:7
    ATTRACTIVE

    EARLY CHRISTIAN
    MOVEMENT
    We need to realize that true Christian living is not just a matter of
    human willpower, but . . .

    God wants all men to have this new life. This


    new life in the Holy Spirit is available to all who
    turn away from a life of sin and receive Jesus as
    Lord and Savior.
    1. The experience of the early disciples.
    An exciting event. Noise like a strong wind, fire, speaking in
    tongues. It created a big stir.
    Peter explained they were not drunk but that the Old Testament
    prophecies (Joel) were coming true.
    Peter proclaims the gospel. Peter tells them the response
    needed.
    The disciples were transformed from frightened men into bold,
    powerful apostles. 3,000 are converted!
    The Holy Spirit created bonds of love and unity among the new
    Christians. The Church was born.
    Others as well received the Holy Spirit.
    What does receiving the Holy Spirit (or being baptized in
    the Spirit) mean for us today?

    a) We can experience the same power and gift of the


    Spirit that the early Christians did.

    The power of
    speaking
    gospel
    b) Also, God is offering you various gifts. 1 Cor 12:4 11.

    1. WISDOM
    2. KNOWLEDGE
    3. HEALING
    4. FAITH
    5. MIGHTY MIRACLE
    6. PROPHECY
    7. TONGUE
    6. MIGHTY MIRACLE
    8. INTERPRETATION
    9. DISCERNMENT OF SPIRIT
    How can we receive the baptism in the Spirit?
    God has promised us the Holy Spirit. Lk 11:9 13
    1. One important warning: Since you are doing
    so well responding to God (you have finished 2/3
    of this CLP), you are making Satan very unhappy.
    He is losing his grip, but will not give up.

    a) So beware of temptations this week, or


    irrational doubt, or of strange circumstances that
    Satan may pose in order to keep you from
    attending next week.

    b) But do not be afraid. Simply call on Jesus'


    name to resist Satan and his works
    2. Take time also to review your
    intentions and expectations in this
    CLP. What are you seeking? Is
    God's offer clear to you? How do
    you intend to respond?
    3. God offers each of you new life.

    a) This new life in the Spirit is the


    normal Christian life. God desires it for
    all.

    b) Be open to it. Better yet, desire it.


    And have faith that you will receive it,
    because God has so promised.
