BATTLE FOR NEW DIMENSIONS:
UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

1 Sam 2:35, 1 Pet 2:5, Heb 3:1, 2:9-14
• Priesthood is a family matter.
• As modern day priests, we are all related to the High Priest Jesus.
• In order to be a priest in the kingdom, you need to be born again so that you belong to the same family.
• When you are born again, Jesus is your brother and that is why you can be a priest.
• God’s agenda is to make you a ruler while you are here on earth.
Rom 5:17, 2 Cor 13:14
• Every spirit’s aim is for the people who worship it to manifest its characteristics.
• This is similar to how a male lion that takes over a pride kills all the offspring of the previous ruler of the pride.
• Each of our desires are powered by a spirit.
• If you are in church but desiring beer, it’s showing you which spirit is prominent in your life.
• The spirit that has prominence in your life will manifest its desires through you.
• You change your desires by repairing your priesthood.
• The corruption in the world is powered by a spirit.
• Divine nature is God-characteristics, God-nature.
• You can know what spirit operates in a man by the fruits he exhibits.
• How come the things of the world excite you as a child of God?
• God-nature will make you undefeated.
2 Cor 3:18
• When a priesthood of God has been established, the most dominant person you will see at work in you, through you and for you will be the Holy Spirit.
• When the Spirit of God is dominant in you, He will give you ability to manifest God’s ability over the powers of darkness.
• The Holy Spirit brings the virtues of God in a man.
1 Cor 2:6-, Exo 36:1
