LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS
- DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT AT THE MOMENT OF SALVATION, VERSUS LIVING LIFE FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
- LET’S READ ACTS CHAPTER 2:1-17 AND TALK ABOUT IT THESE 2 ASPECTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 1. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN USE THE SUPERNATURAL (VISIONS, DREAMS, AND PROPHECIES) , 2. THE HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWER US TO DO GOD’S WORK (THE WEAK PETER IS NOW BOLD).
- READ ACTS 13:49-52, AND ACTS 7:54-56 AND TALK ABOUT HOW BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT WILL EMPOWER US TO GO THROUGH THE TOUGH MOMENTS OF LIFE.
- READ GALATIANS 5:22 AND TALK ABOUT THE 3 ASPECTS OF BEING FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? (3 ASPECTS ARE: 1. PERSONAL PEACE AND JOY, 2. BLESSED & GOD’S HELP FOR OUR RELATIONSHIPS (PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS), AND 3. VICTORY OVER OUR OWN SIN? (SELF CONTROL)
- LET’S NOW TALK ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL. IS IT WEIRD FOR YOU THAT GOD CAN GIVE VISIONS, DREAM, AND PROPHECIES STILL TODAY? DO YOU BELIEVE GOD STILL USES THE SUPERNATURAL TODAY? HAS ANYONE HERE EVER HAD A PROPHETIC DREAM, OR HAD A VISION FROM GOD?
- DO YOU REMEMBER A TIME IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU WERE SEEKING GOD WITH FERVOR AND YOU WERE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT? WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THOSE DAYS? ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN DO YOU REMEMBER A TIME IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAD BEEN SAVED BY JESUS BUT YOU WERE NOT FULL OF THE SPIRIT? HOW WAS IT LIKE NOT TO BE FULL OF THE SPIRIT?
- ENCOURAGE THE GROUP TO SEEK SUCH A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THAT WE ARE LIVING LIFE FULL OF HIS PRESENCE AND WE ARE OVERFLOWING IT IN OUR HOMES, WORKPLACE, AND ALL OUR RELATIONSHIPS. MAYBE BY LISTENING WORSHIP ON THEIR WAY TO WORK, READING 2 CHAPTERS OF THE BIBLE A DAY, ETC…
- SPEND AT LEAST 15 MINUTES PRAYING (PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT TO GIVE US GIFTS, TO USE THE SUPERNATURAL, FOR GOD TO USES IN A POWERFUL WAY IN HIS KINGDOM)
