What Does the Holy Spirit Do? | Pastor Costi Hinn 

Good Shepherding here !!! this is why theres lack of understanding , the Shepherds are not feeding the flock with good and wholesome food from the Scriptures,get trained teaches Pastors and study then deliver from the heart of learning . Many up front have been tried Tested and are FOUND WANTING .bottoms on seats wont cut it folks they'll drift to another place and get the same , thankyou Costi

"For the 🔥LORD does NOT see as people see; because people look at the 'outward appearance,' but the 🔥LORD looks at your heart [your TRUE INTENTIONS/MOTIVATIONS].“🔥GOD opposes/IGNORES those with PRIDE, but HE gives ♥GRACE to the humble.” "Prove/TEST ALL spirits (motivations)."

Yes! Exactly. I have been teaching and preaching for decades, stop asking God to "be with us" or "be with so and so". If they are believers, God IS with them. He IS with us. We don't have to ask Him to "be with us".

A very good subject. Thank you for raising it and trying to make sense of it in this time of 'anything goes in the name of the Holy Spirit'. One thing I have strongly recognised is concerning the apostle Paul writing 'do not quench the Spirit', 'keep in step with the Spirit' and 'do not grieve the Holy Spirit' all conflating to, 'walk in (accordance with) the (Holy) Spirit'. And this means to walk in a clear conscience without which faith cannot be manifest. Paul says, 'Whatever does not proceed from faith, is sin', Romans 14:23. And no one can please God without faith. Cheers

Thank you brothers for this podcast. All for the glory of the Father inthe Name the Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit 🙏🙏🙏

My observation is that people confuse emotionalism and an emotional release as a movement of the Holy Ghost. I was enlighten way back in the 70s when corporations sent employees to retreats to bond the workers. In a totally secular setting I remember standing with my eyes closed while the director told us to let go, trust your co workers block everything out, and amazingly one bu one we all 'went down' and explained that we were totally relaxed and what a powerful feeling it was. It was an emotional release. That experience totally changed my understanding of slain in the spirit and much of the charismatic experience. God's indwelling is not dependent on 'how or what I feel'

Be filled with the Spirit!

The Holy Spirit is at work with the Father and the Son, from the beginning to the completion of the divine plan for our salvation.

thanks brothers for letting Costi talk and talk about what he knows about the Holy Spirit. From his long relations in the Benny Hinn ministry, Costi has learned for sure what the Holy Spirit isnt. There are many many references in my Bible(s) that makes it clear that the Holy Spirit (God) is a "He" and why wouldnt He be a He anyhow !!

This is very helpful.❤❤❤

Thank you again Brother Costi for this podcast!

Thanks for this. It steps on toes that very well may need to be stepped upon. Especially for we who serve at God’s altar, leading songs in the facilitation of worship,these are important things to keep in mind.

Thank you! David Diga Hernández popped on my feed and I just saw red flags all over.

This was straightforward and clear. Thank you Costi!

Amen! Praise God! In Jesus' name! God bless. SHALOM! 😀

Thank you for this vital message.

How straightforward and wise ! Thank you

Amen. Wonderful. Sound doctrine.

Thank you!

Amen Brother Costi!

Amen

4:26 although I agree the Holy Spirit is God and is omnipresent - the Bible frequently talks about Him coming and going and entering and filling We are commanded to be “filled with the Spirit” which to me indicates you can NOT be filled with the Spirit, even as a believer There is fruit that the Holy Spirit always produces, but we often do not display them because we have “quenched the Spirit”

I absolutely had no idea about this! Thank you so much - I am subscribing and will be looking for more info on this topic! I’m so stoked!!

good preachn

This is good

I don’t know , but we have costi hinn to tell us, lucky us

Jesus taught us to pray by addressing The Father.

Hello! Praise JAH! Psalm 68:4 KJV and his name alone is the most high Psalm 83:18 KJV

Hello! We must endure till the end to be saved Matthew 24:13 KJV

I would like to think that people who pray Holy Spirit fall on us or come into this place, that they really mean : Holy Spirit have your way and move in this place, move in our hearts, we surrender, God manifest your presence in our mists. There is definitely a difference between God's manifested presence and the omnipresence of God 😊

How do you explain Acts 19:1-7?

Acts 19:2-6 NKJV he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." [3] And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism." [4] Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus." [5] When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. [6] And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

Does anyone in the NT directly pray or talk to the Holy Spirit?

Acts 8.14-17 “Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.”

Brother, I shared this with some Torah observing and Hebrew roots Facebook friends, but who also believe in the continuation of the apostolic gifts and criticize Baptist and reformed Baptist saying we do not believe the Holy Spirit has power is in the book of Acts. I expected to hear you say that the Holy Spirit can fix the believer of sin and draws him to Christ, and the work that he does in the sanctification of the believer. The contact was good, the title is just a little misleading. Now I have to find some thing else from you to share with them, lol. God bless.

So we're to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, but no mention of if he speaks or how He communicates to believers....

Thank you brother. I have a question. Have you not seen John Owen’s works on the Holy Spirit? Along with A.W Pink? Or RC Sproul? I ask, because you mentioned nothing being out there aside from the top 5 from hogwarts. Thank you in advance for the clarification.

6:42 can you give an example from the Bible of anyone praying to the Spirit?

The Spirit does no longer fall on anyone. Only reading will give the Spirit.

Yeah right!!!

Good thoughts. It is puzzling to me how so many people seem to think the Holy Spirit retired and no longer manages and maintains all the operations and manifestations He initiated. Even more of a puzzle is the question of where the Holy Spirit dwelt prior to a person coming to faith. Clearly all humanity are the offspring of God, and in Him we live and move and have our being. Scripture also says we (that died with Christ) were also born again by His resurrection. So from a scriptural standpoint we (post resurrection) have all been living in Him and Him in us. The subjective experience is life transforming but the Holy Spirit was already there before we experienced Him. A bit of a mystery. Kind of like Christ being revealed "In" Saul of Tarsus prior to his conversion.

I like the the analogy of asking your wife to draw near to you, but for the opposite reason costi does. I do ask the Holy Spirit to come closer just the same way I do with a loved one.

He's not an it or a ghost

How will you know TMH, if you don’t admit who his true children are??? How do you repent if it’s only words and not giving back what was stolen and divided??? Who are the Israelites??? Looking for honesty and not feelings. Please use precept for your answers. We do know what Isaiah said about reading this history book!!!! Where is the equity from the so called Christian’s????

I wish we'd start acknowledging the feminine references to the Holy Spirit in the Bible. Men and women were created in God's image and acknowledging the female side would be incredible.

Unfortunately no third Person exists. It was not understood that God in Person sends the Spirit, but that Spirit is the SAME GOD (almighty) who is a spirit, NOT A THIRD PERSON (this is why Jesus NEVER MENTIONS a THIRD person with Him!). Thus no third person exists. The "Spirit of God" (aka Holy Spirit) is actually originated by God (the "normal" God) who is AWAY in a distant dimension "No man has seen God at any time." "the world did not know you". You can see in the gospels that EVERYTHING is carried out by that Spirit here on earth, NOT PERSONALLY by God: the Spirit of God dealt with Mary's pregnancy, spoke when Jesus was baptized, led Jesus into the desert, later helped Him in speaking too. Further, the Spirit of God ("Spirit of your Father") also helped the apostles in speaking. "God is a spirit" (Jn. 4:24) i.e. the only one Spirit who is present here is God, almighty.

Mr. Hinn, In the first portion of your teaching, you make mention that the Holy Spirit is omnipresent; to which I would agree. However, you are conflating a few distinctives. That being, that we can see the apostle, telling us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This word ‘filled’ is an imperative verb. It’s a command not a suggestion. Why would the apostle, that was theologically sound, say something like this to us, if he was theologically sound? Why are we told to fan the flame? Why are we warned against grieving the Holy Spirit and if we do, what are the results of that grief? Jesus tells the apostles that he must go away so that the paraklete can come. I would assume you would agree that the apostles at this point were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. If they already had everything that they needed, at that point, from the Omnipresent in Holy Spirit that lived in them, why would they need anything else? If the Trinity lives in us already, isn’t that enough power living in us? Why would we need the Paraclete? One of the greatest documents ever written, the Westminster confession of faith states: ‘God doth oftentimes leave for a season…’ ‘assurance of their salvation divers ways shaken, diminished, and intermitted; as, by negligence in preserving of it,’ The divines understood a *withdrawing* of the Spirit. WCF 5.5 Providence: "The most wise, righteous, and gracious God doth oftentimes leave, for a season, his own children to manifold temptations, and the corruption of their own hearts, to chastise them for their former sins, or to discover unto them the hidden strength of corruption and deceitfulness of their hearts, that they may be humbled; and, to raise them to a more close and constant dependence for their support upon himself, and to make them more watchful against all future occasions of sin, and for sundry other just and holy ends." WCF 18.4 Assurance: "True believers may have the assurance of their salvation divers ways shaken, diminished, and intermitted; as, by negligence in preserving of it, by falling into some special sin which woundeth the conscience and grieveth the Spirit; by some sudden or vehement temptation, by God's withdrawing the light of his countenance, and suffering even such as fear him to walk in darkness and to have no light: yet are they never utterly destitute of that seed of God, and life of faith, that love of Christ and the brethren, that sincerity of heart, and conscience of duty, out of which, by the operation of the Spirit, this assurance may, in due time, be revived; and by the which, in the meantime, they are supported from utter despair." Why would the divines of Westminster put this portion in The Confession, which is highly Calvinistic, if what you say is accurate. As I mentioned, you are conflating these distinctives. We can see and other various places the same sentiment. For example, God is omnipresent, he never changes, and yet we were told that if we draw near to him, he will draw near to us. How can it be that this is in his holy word if he is immutable and never moves. What is the result of rebellion and sin? There is so much to say here, but I believe Westminster said it best, so I will leave it at that . I’m gonna watch the rest of your show.

I hope you have nothing to do with David Diga Hernandez, he is sooo false. I enjoy listening to you!

The Holy Spirit of God needn't be invited. He indwells His children like a tabernacle.

Since God #1, the Father, is a Spirit, what happens to Him when He sends God #3 the Holy Spirit away to do His work? Does the Father disappear, afterall He's a Spirit who is now Spiritless, right? When God #3 returns, does He disappear since He returns the Spirit to God #1. Jesus, and all the Apostles, claim there is only one God who is One Spirit - did they mean one at a time trading the Spirit back and forth? Or is the Father the one and only Holy Spirit, which He shared with The Word of God in the Old Testament (the pre-existent Christ) and now with His Son in the New Testament (Acts 2:33)?

Back in the day.. RARELY heard anything of the EPISTLES..!..😢 .our APOSTLE PAUL .(assembly of god") .JUST OCCASIONAL cherry picking. . ACCURSED!!!.GALATIANS 1V6.7.8. 😳

Of course you can get a proper understanding! You absolutely WON'T get it by listening to this guy! He has little to no understanding of how to ask for, get and pray in the Holy Spirit. Beware of this guy!!

HS is clearly the feminine aspect of the Godhead. 🤔 referring to HS w male pronouns was weird. Other than that great vid ❤

To answer the question briefly…absolutely nothing as the “Holy Spirit” is something that has never, not once been shown to exist. You’re welcome
