The Work of the Holy Spirit – Lesson Plan — 1 Comment

  1. The opening text:

    8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

    It was an excellent lesson -- however, I was hoping there would be a lesson on the "latter rain" or final great outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

    The above text isn't just talking about the work of the Holy Spirit on individual church members, it's talking about the WORLD.

    He will convict the world!
    The whole world will be brought to the realization of the elements of the final battle for the souls of people.

    Rev. 18:1-2 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
    And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen....

    The whole world will be brought to decision.
    We have the most solemn message of truth ever borne to the world.

    "The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the former rain at the opening of the gospel are again to be fulfilled in the latter rain at its close. Here are "the times of refreshing" to which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said: "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus." Acts 3:19, 20. {GC 611.3}
    Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works, with lying wonders, even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand." {GC 612.1}
