STUDY NOTES:
1. Low and behold there was a DIVINE APPOINTMENT awaiting Paul in
Ephesus.
Acts 19:2b / Acts 18:25-26
2. We can extrapolate from this that the very SAME scenario came forth
as Paul queried the inadequately baptized brood of brothers from
Ephesus.
Acts 19:5-6
3. The “baptism into the name of the Lord Jesus” experienced by the
‘Ephesus 12’ was exactly the same as “God’s OUTPOURING or Holy
Spirit infilling.
Acts 19:18-20
4. There is more to YOU than what we can SEE.
Mark 12:30
5. The SPIRIT is the key.
Genesis 6:5 / Isaiah 53:6a, 8 / Luke 13:21
6. It will appear that your SOUL and BODY as well as your Spirit has a
WANT TO.
Romans 5:18-19, 8:12, 12:1-2 / 2 Corinthians 5:17
7. Made New is a once for all definite act! RE-newed is a PROCESS.
8. Think about your ‘NEW’ Spirit as being “MARRIED To” your soul &
body.
TAKE AWAYS…
Have you been in receipt of God’s Holy Spirit outpouring (baptism/infilling)? (How oddly you know?)
Can you express that your WANT TO has been changed over the course of your Faith Walk? (Give examples)
If an action is simply socially acceptable, culturally normal or politically correct does that make it right/ (Who has the final authority over such matters?)
VALUE ADDED…
As you ‘Live Forward’ become more aware of your WANT TO and how your Mind & Body reacts to it. (Be encouraged to write out some of these findings.)
