Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Naming the Spirit, Part 2 of 2 (When the Spirit Has His Way)

August 4, 2016

We learn about the Holy Spirit by seeing His work in terms of word-pictures: oil, water, and wind. Each picture increases our understanding, and today, we’ll learn about another word-picture that speaks of the power and purity of the Spirit.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

The work of the Holy Spirit has been a source of controversy in the church for a long time. What does He do? What is His ministry? Let’s begin a life-changing series that tells what happens “When the Spirit Has His Way.” And wonderful things do happen when the Blessed Spirit of God has His way.

Believers are told to wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. It’s not just a book. It has power, and it’s the means God uses to open closed hearts to the gospel. Let’s take a final look at Ephesians 6 and observe the power of God’s Word as it puts the enemy to flight.

All who call on the name of Christ are in a lifelong battle. That’s why we have been given the armor of God: five pieces for self-defense, and one weapon for offense against Satan. That weapon is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

It’s tough to grow in the Christian life without the assurance that you are a child of God. Some say salvation can be lost, regained, and then lost again. There’s no assurance there! Let’s address the crucial question of knowing whether or not we have eternal life.

Someone has said, “What you think, you are.” We must protect our minds from the devil’s attacks. And the helmet of salvation is what we need when doubts arise about our status as God’s children. Let’s consider how to use yet another piece of the armor of God.

Flaming arrows of doubt sometimes come our way, challenging our faith and making us question if God is truly good. We need the shield of faith to deflect these arrows, but how are we supposed to use this piece of spiritual armor?

Christians have a defense to ward off Satan’s fiery darts. We can use what the Apostle Paul calls “the shield of faith.” But how do we use this piece of the armor of God, and how does a strong faith block Satan’s arrows?

The devil takes aim at any believer who takes the gospel to another person. Only by having the peace of God can a believer handle the attacks of Satan, both subtle and overt. We must learn more from Paul’s teaching about the armor of God.

Inner peace is much more than just a sense of well-being. Its basis is what Paul calls “the gospel of peace,” the good news that gives us assurance of a future that will transcend our daily troubles. Are you experiencing the peace of God today?

It’s one thing to believe that the righteousness of Jesus can be credited to our account before a holy God, but it’s another to keep on living with that in mind when we find ourselves sinning every day. How can we wear “The Breastplate of Righteousness”?
