Reidhead Sermon Report

Sermon Overview

Reidhead outlines seven fundamental biblical truths regarding the Spirit, likely including His Deity, His role in convicting the world, His work in regeneration, His indwelling of the believer, His ministry as Teacher, His empowerment for witness, and His role in corporate unity. He emphasizes that the Spirit always acts to "Glorify Christ."

Key Principles

Spirit as a Person:Interact with the Holy Spirit as a Person to be known, not a "power" to be used.

Resident Teacher:Depend on the Spirit to "ignite" the Word; refuse to settle for mere academic study.

Convicting Work:Welcome the Spirit's conviction of sin as a "mercy" that prepares you for righteousness.

Exalting Christ: Use this test for any "spiritual" move: Does it make Jesus Christ the singular center of attention?

Anointing Discernment: Rely on the "Anointing" within you to spot error, especially in "religious" clothing.

Empowerment for Harvest: Seek the filling of the Spirit specifically to be an effective witness to the unreached.

Unity of Spirit: Guard the "peace of the body"; realize that the Spirit will not flow where there is strife.

Fruit and Gifts:Prioritize the Fruit(character) as the only safe platform for the exercise of the Gifts(power).
