Denial of the Power of God – The Holy Spirit
Denial of the Power of God – The Holy Spirit
By Norbert Bohnert – 05/03/2025
In this compelling message, Norbert Bohnert delves into the profound nature and critical importance of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Mr. Bohnert begins by exploring the Holy Spirit as the very power of God, a "priceless gift" likened to invisible yet potent electricity, given to impart not fear, but power, love, and a sound mind.
Norbert Bohnert passionately argues that our attitude is key to experiencing this divine power. He draws a sharp contrast between a life governed by self-centeredness and one characterized by selflessness. The sermon powerfully illustrates the dire consequences of denying, grieving, or lying to the Holy Spirit through the sobering biblical account of Ananias and Sapphira, who prioritized pretense and personal gain, leading to their swift judgment. This serves as a timeless warning against hypocrisy and the danger of having a name for being alive but being spiritually dead, as was the case for some in the church of Sardis. Mr. Bohnert emphasizes that such actions can lead to one's name being blotted from the Book of Life.
Conversely, Norbert highlights the path to true spiritual vitality through selflessness, exemplified by King Solomon's humble request for wisdom to serve others. This selfless approach, Mr. Bohnert explains, is what "stirs up" the Holy Spirit, unleashing its transformative power for miraculous change in our lives. This message is a crucial call for self-examination, urging believers to move beyond a "fast of selfishness" and embrace a selfless attitude, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide, heal, and empower us to live according to God's will and reflect His glory.
