"For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths" (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTS OR CONVICTS

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTS



Let’s now look at what happens when the Holy Spirit anoints?

The Holy Spirit anoints -> people fall voluntarily and face forward -> in adoration.

“When Abram prostrated himself, God continued to speak to him” (Genesis 17:3)

“He replied, "Neither. I am the captain of the host of the LORD and I have just arrived." Then Joshua fell prostrate to the ground in worship, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?" (Joshua 5:14)

“Like the bow which appears in the clouds on a rainy day was the splendor that surrounded him. Such was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I had seen it, I fell upon my face and heard a voice that said to me” (Ezekiel 1:28)

“When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid.” (Matthew 17:6)

“All the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshiped God,” (Revelation 7:11)

“The twenty-four elders who sat on their thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshiped God” (Revelation 11:16)

“and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.” (Luke 17:16)

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTS



Let’s now look at what happens when the Holy Spirit convicts?

The Holy Spirit convicts -> people fall involuntarily and backward -> in judgment from God.

“Let Dan be a serpent by the roadside, a horned viper by the path, that bites the horse's heel, so that the rider tumbles backward.” (Genesis 49:17)

“So for them the word of the LORD shall be: "Command on command, command on command, Rule on rule, rule on rule, here a little, there a little!" So that when they walk, they stumble backward, broken, ensnared, and captured.” (Isaiah 28:13)

“When he said to them, "I AM," they turned away and fell to the ground.” (John 18:6)

“At this mention of the ark of God, Eli fell backward from his chair into the gateway; since he was an old man and heavy, he died of a broken neck.” (1st Samuel 4:18)

“He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" (Acts 9:-4)

Is this clear enough?
