Regarding the Person and work of the Holy Spirit in transformational movements
John 14:28 NLT, "Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really love me,you will be very happy for me, because now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am."
John 16:5-15 NLT, 5)"But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you asked me where I was going. 6) Instead, you are very sad. 7) But it is actually best for you that I go away, because if I don't the Counselor won't come. If I go away, He will come because I will send Him to you. 8) And when He comes, He will convince the world of it's sin, and of the righteousness, and of the coming judgment. 9) The world's sin is unbelief in me. 10) Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more. 11) Judgment will come because the prince of the world has already been judged. 12) Oh, there is so much more that I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now. 13) When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not be presenting His own ideas; He will be telling you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future. 14) He will bring me glory by revealing to you whatever He receives from me. 15) All that the Father has is mine; this is what I mean when I say that the Spirit will reveal to you whatever He receives from Me."
The Planter: The Holy Spirit always points us to Christ and to His Mission. Why are so many afraid of His Person and Work. Truth is, you cannot have a Christologically focused Mission without the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit of God always brings us back to Jesus and His mission, the Great Commission, our Co-Mission with Him.
