Holy Spirit (Week 2) 8/10/2025

Holy Spirit (Wk.2) Message Notes - 8/10/2025
Frontlines Church
Speaker: Pastor Jay Singh


MAIN SCRIPTURES
2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6 (NKJV)
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

[vs 4-5 NIV]
4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.


KEY POINTS:
[FOCUS 1]
God is calling us out of shallow Christianity into Christ defined living!
-We undermine The Gospel by thinking truth but not demonstrating it.
-We undermine The Gospel by speaking of the power of The Holy Spirit but not submitting to it.
-We undermine God's Spirit by being emotionally inspired but not spiritually aligned.

[FOCUS 2]
Acknowledgement is NOT transformation.
Surrendered obedience to Jesus is where true transformation is (becoming undone by God's Spirit).


[FOCUS 3]
Sin takes a physical and emotional toll wherever there is unconfessed and unrepentant sin.

PSALM 32:3-4 (NLT)
3When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long.
4Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
Interlude

5Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.


[FOCUS 4]
Satan can't steal from you what you aren't willing to surrender to him.

Some of the areas we have tolerated - giving ourselves over to the coiling spirits are:
Tolerance to: comfortability with compromise.
Tolerance to: non-confrontational passivity - giving access to tormenting spirits.
Tolerance to: pet sins and accommodating the temperature of their environment (coddling).
Tolerance to: unprocessed wounds, unhealed emotions and spiritual dysfunction.
Tolerance to: Lukewarm and shallow christianity.


JAMES 4:7 (NIV)
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.



[DEFINITION]
'Spirit'
Hebrew - 'Ruach'
Greek - 'Pneuma'
Translation: “Wind,” and  “Breath.”


THE PYTHON SPIRIT
-Wears you down.
-Weakens your prayers and worship.
-Leverages your sin to slowly and gently wrap around you until you suffocate. (A coiling spirit)

-Harassing and nagging behavioral patterns often disguised as normal and non-lethal.
-Carries a false prophetic sensory with heaviness, oppression and bondage as its habitation.
-Its aim is to take out those who are real threats to the powers of darkness, choke out God's outpouring and stunt revival from breaking out!

****-Its primary purpose is to squeeze out the breath of The Holy Spirit within the life of the believer, severing the line of communion and covenant with Jesus in prayer and intimacy.



THE HOLY SPIRIT
-Builds you up. (Jude 1)
-Empowers your prayers and worship. (Romans 8)
-Convicts of sin. (John 16)

-Produces the fruit of The Spirit and spiritual gifts (inspiration). (Galatians 5)
-Frees those in captivity. (Isaiah 61)
-The Spirit of Truth drives out the spirits of deception, false prophecy and suffocation [to those that are fully submitted to God]. (1 John 4)
